Haemodynamic disorders Flashcards
describe step 1 of heamostasis
Describe step 2 of Haemostasis
These granules secrets recruit more platelets
Describe step 3 of Haemostasis
Mediated through coagulation cascade
Tissue factor is exposed
Activates coagulation cascade
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen
Fibrin stabilises clot
Describe the coagulation cascade
Disruption to blood vessel
Expose tissue factor
Activates cascade and more enzymes
Converts soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin
Describe step 4 of Haemostasis
Close regulation of clotting
Fibrinolysis
Secreted from normal endothelial cells from damage
Plasmin degrades fibrin
Prevents clot benign propagated
how is clotting regulated
Blood dilution of coagulation factors
How does normal endothelial cells stabilise clot and repsorption
What is atherosclerosis and how does it occur
How does a normal artery progress into advanced vulnerable plaque
How does atherosclerosis lead to myocardial ischaemia
Atherscletoritc cap - thrombus formation
Common cause of myocardial infarction
what is thrombosis
what is thrombus
How does thrombosis occur
What 3 factors contribute to thrombosis
how does endothelial injury contribute to thrombosis
How does abnormal blood flow contribute to thrombosis
Stasis apply general in veins but it can be arteries
Abnormal blood flow promote thrombosis
How does hyperocagulability contribute to thrombosis
Describe the difference between arterial vs venous thrombosis
what is embolisation?
