First Aid Cardiovascular Flashcards
congenital rubella –>
VSD PDA pulmonary artery stenosis deafness congenital cataracts
down syndrome –>
ASD
VSD
FAS –>
VSD
PDA
ASD
TF
Maternal DM I –>
TGA
Marfan syndrome –>
MVP
thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection
aortic regurg
prenatal lithium exposure –>
Ebstein anomaly (tricuspid valve displaced)
Turner syndrome –>
bicuspid aortic valve
coarctation of aorta
Williams syndrome –>
supravalvular aortic stenosis
22q11 syndromes –>
PTA
TF
(neural crest cells)
Eisenmenger syndrome
uncorrected L –> R shunt (VSD, ASD, PDA) –> increased pulmonary blood flow –> pathologic remodeling of vasculature–> pulmonary arterial HTN –> RVH –> becomes R –> L shunt –> late cyanosis, clubbing, polycythemia
Kartagener syndrome
primary ciliary dyskinesia
triad: infertility, chronic sinusitis, s_____
defect in left-right dynein (involved in L/R asymmetry) can lead to DEXTROCARDIA
bulbar and truncal ridges derive from
neural crest cells
xanthoma
plaques or nodules composed of LIPID-LADEN HISTIOCYTES in skin and eyelids
xanthelasma
xanthoma in eyelid
tendinous xanthoma
lipid deposit in tendon (often Achilles)
corneal arcus
lipid deposit in cornea
common in elderly –> arcus senilis
earlier in life in hypercholesterolemia
definition of arteriosclerosis
hardening of arteries
arterial wall thickening and loss of elasticity
arteriolosclerosis
arteriosclerosis of small arteries and arterioles
two types of arteriolosclerosis
- HYALINE thickening of vessel walls in essential HTN or DM (pink highlighter around arteriole on histology)
- HYPERPLASTIC “onion skinning” in severe HTN with proliferation of SM cells
Monckeberg arteriosclerosis
Medial calcific sclerosis uncommon affects medium-sized arteries calcification of elastic lamina of arteries --> vascular stiffening w/o obstruction intima NOT involved does NOT obstruct blood flow

hyaline arteriolosclerosis

hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
definition of atherosclerosis
disease of elastic arteries and large-medium0sized muscular arteries
form of arteriosclerosis (hardening/arterial wall thickening) caused by BUILD UP OF CHOLESTEROL PLAQUES
modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis
smoking
HTN
hyperlipidemia
DM
non-modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis
age
sex (increased in men and postemenopausal women)
family hx
complications of atherosclerosis
aneurysms ischemia infarcts peripheral vascular disease (PAD) thrombus emboli
location of atherosclerosis
abdominal aorta > coronary artery > popliteal artery > carotid artery
symptoms of atherosclerosis
angina
claudication
*may be asymptomatic
atherosclerosis progression (pathophysiology)
inflammation important in pathogenesis**
endothelial cell dysfxn –> macrophage and LDL accumulation –> foam cell formation –> fatty streaks –> SM cell migration (involves PDGF and FGF), proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition –> fibrous plaque –> complex atheromas
define aortic aneurysm
localized pathologic dilatation of the aorta
thoracic or abdominal
AAA risk factors
associated with ATHEROSCLEROSIS hx of tobacco use increased age male sex family hx
Thoracic aortic aneurysm risk factors
associated with CYSTIC MEDIAL DEGENERATION
HTN
bicuspid aortic valve
connective tissue disease (Marfan syndrome)
tertiary syphilis (obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasorum)
relate tertiary syphilis and vasculature
obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasorum
aortic dissection associations
(longitudinal intimal tear forming false lumen)
HTN
bicuspid aortic valve
inherited connective tissue disorders (eg Marfan)
types of aortic dissection
Stanford type A (proximal):
- involves Ascending aorta
- may extend to arotic arch or descending aorta
- tx is surgery
Standford type B (distal):
- involves descending aorta and/or aortic arch
- no ascending aorta involvement
- tx with beta-blockers then vasodilators
aortic dissection complications
rupture
pericardial tamponade
death
ischemic heart disease manifestations
angina coronary steal syndrome myocardial infarction sudden cardiac death chronic ischemic heart disease
symptoms of MI
diaphoresis nausea vomiting severe retrosternal pain pain in L arm and /or jaw SOB fatigue
commonly occluded coronary arteries
LAD > RCA > circumflex
