38
Q

is an acute, immunologically

mediated, multisystem inflammatory disease classically occurring a few weeks after group A streptococcal pharyngitis.

A

Rheumatic fever

39
Q

is a common
manifestation of active RF and may progress to
chronic Rheumatic heart disease.

A

acute rheumatic carditis

40
Q

Rheumatic heart disease characterized by
deforming fibrotic valvular disease,
particularly involving

A

mitral valve

only cause of mitral stenosis

41
Q

are the predictable

consequence of healing and scarring associated with the resolution of the acute inflammation.

A

chronic fibrotic lesions

42
Q

in RHD, damage to heart tissue may thus be caused by a combination of

A

antibody and T cell-mediated rxns

43
Q

composed of foci of
Tlymphocytes, plasma cells, and plump activated
macrophages called Anitschkow cells

A

aschoff bodies

44
Q

During acute RF, diffuse inflammation and
Aschoff bodies may be found in three layers of
the heart, resulting in

A

pericarditis, myocarditis, or endocarditis

45
Q

small vegetations, very typical and a feature where you can differentiate the other types if disease causing vegetation

46
Q

Subendocardial lesions, exacerbated by
regurgitant jets, can induce irregular thickenings
called

A

MacCallum plaques (left atrium)

47
Q

Changes of the mitral valve in chronic RHD are
leaflet thickening, commissural fusion and
shortening, and thickening of the tendinous
cords. This will add to severity of the patients
symptoms. This is now you call

A

fish-mouth stenosis

48
Q

Rheumatic fever is characterized by a constellation of major manifestations:

A 
Migratory polyarthritis of large joints
Pancarditis
Subcutaneous nodules
Erytheme marginatum
Sydenham chorea (involuntary rapid movements)
49
Q

Diagnosis (RF)

or 1 major and 2 minor manifestations (fever arthralgia, elevated blood levels of acute phase reactants)

A

streptolysin O and DNAse B

51
Q

cause cardiac dilation that
culminates in functional mitral valve insufficiency
or heart failure.

A

myocarditis

53
Q

T or F
Surgical repair or replacement of diseased valves
has greatly improved the outlook for persons with
RHD

54
Q

Is a microbial infection of the heart valves or the
mural endocardium that leads to the formation of vegetation composed of thrombotic debris and organisms, associated with destruction of the underlying cardiac tissues.

A

Infective endocarditis

55
Q

is typically caused by infection of a
previously normal heart valve by a highly
virulent organism (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus)

71
Q

When you say non-infective endocarditis, we think of two:

A 
o  Noninfected  (sterile)  vegetations  occur in  nonbacterial  thrombotic  endocarditis (NBTE)
o  Endocarditis  of  systemic  lupus erythematosus  (SLE)/  Libman-sacks endocarditis
72
Q

Characterized by the deposition of small (1 to 5 mm)

sterile thrombi on the leaflets of the cardiac valve

73
Q

endocarditis due to sepsis

A

marantic endocarditis

74
Q

likely related to the procoagulant effects of tumor-derived mucin of tissue factor that can also cause migratory thrombophlebitis

A

mucinous adenocarcinoma

75
Q

consequence of immune complex deposition, with activation of complement and recruitment of Fc-receptor bearing cells

A

NBTE (SLE)

Q
