Q

What is unique about the tunica intima?

A

It is composed of endothelial cells - one of the few surfaces that can maintain blood in a liquid state. Blood should not clot there; keep moving

Also possesses many mechanisms that can go awry and lead to atherosclerosis

Arteries have elastic layers and concentric layers of smooth muscle cells

Q

What is unique about the tunica adventitia?

A

Outermost layer of the artery - possible roles in artierial homeostasis and pathology

Contains collagen fibrils that contribute to the strength of the artery

Other cells found here: mast cells & fibroblasts

Vasa vasorum and nerve fibers are localized here

Q

What is unique about atherosclerosis?

A

3 different theories prove to play a role in CVD

Atherosclerosis diffusely affects certain regions preferentially in large and medium arteries. At the same time, it produces focal stenosis in certain areas of affected vessels much more than in other areas

Few diseases have an longer “incubation” period than atherosclerosis:

  • Begins shortly after birth
  • Hyperlipidemia at 200
  • Infants have total cholesterol levels at 100

Q

What kind of cells are only seen in atherosclerosis?

A

Foam cells

smooth muscle cells proliferate and migrate - large arteries become smaller - attacked by LDL

  • Intima is injured - blood clots - disrupts blood flow
  • -or can break off and become an emboli

Q

What’s the deal with Arteriogenic ED?

A

Age of Onset for ED and CAD is often similar!

ED can be a warning sign of CAD in asymptomatic men

ASCVD and ED share the same risk factors - smoking, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension

Factors decreasing blood supply to the limb?

A 
Flow limiting lesion

Q

What affects Hemodynamics (flow through an artery)?

A

Directly proportional to perfusion pressure

Inversely proportional to vascular resistance
E.g. high vascular resistance (small artery) slows down blood flow

A

Calf pain (intermittent claudication)

It appears with exercise and resolves with rest
-Reliable, reproducible, and consistent

Q

If you have pain in the calf, what artery or arteries are likely involved?

A

Femorals or popliteals

20
Q

If you have pain in the buttock, hip, or thigh, what artery or arteries are likely involved?

A

Aortic or iliac arteries

21
Q

If you have pain in the ankle or foot, what artery or arteries are likely involved?

A

Tibial or peroneals

22
Q

If you have pain in the shoulders, biceps or forearm, what artery or arteries are likely involved?

A

UE subclavian, axillary, or brachials

23
Q

Which muscle consumes the most O2 during walking?

A

The gastroc. This is why calf claudication is the the most frequent symptom

24
Q

If pain occurs at rest, is it intermittent claudication?

A

No.

Pain at rest, like nocturnal night cramps, are not due to PAD

Pain with I.C. should subside after rest

Exercise is effective, but must convince the patient

25
Q

What can you suspect if you have leg pain at rest

A

(likely a critical wound ischemia - leads to amputation)

Typically in toes or foot, worsens with elevation
Pain improves with leg dependency (pts sleep with affected leg hanging from bed)

Extreme skin sensitivity
Gout - cannot tolerate shearing forces at the foot

26
Q

What are the 5 P’s of critical limb ischemia?

A 
Pain
Pallor
Paresthesia
Paralysis
Pulselessness
(Some also include Poikilotherm - widely varying temp)
27
Q

Characteristics of Arterial Skin Ulcers?

A 
Most distal areas
Toes
thin
atrophic
dry
shiny
hair loss!
Round, regular boarders
No bleeding
Dry base
Very painful
Weak/absent pulse
Poor capillary refill
ABI
28
Q

Characteristics of Venous Skin Ulcer

A 
Lower third of leg; malleolar area
Edema
Hemosiderin
Dermatitis
Eczema
"weeping"
irregular borders!
Painful
Varicose veins
"bottle leg"
ABI normal
29
Q

What is the Fontaine Classification? (refer to PPT for full answer; won’t display whole answer for some reason)

A

I - none
II - Intermittent Claudication
IIa - Pain-free, IC walking, > 200m
IIb - pain-free, IC walking

30
Q

Clinical categories of chronic limb ischemia?

A

I(0) - Asymptomatic
I(1) - Mild claudication
I(2) - Moderate claudication
I(3) - Severe Claudication
II(4) - Ischemic Leg Pain
II(5) - Minor tissue loss; nonhealing ulcer, focal gangrene, diffuse pedal ulcer
III(6) - Major tissue loss extending above the transmetatarsal level, functional foot no longer salvageable

31
Q

First symptom with impaired LE cardio?

A

Hair loss!

Also check rubor - from red to white

32
Q

How to take BP according to Skilling, PA-C (KNOW FOR EXTRA CREDIT ON QUIZ!) - see PPT for full answer; won’t properly display (slide 54)

A

Upper arm at heart level - hold their arm in your armpits

Cuff L and W should be 80 and 40% of arm circumference, respectively

Deflated at

33
Q

How should you measure Leg BP?

A

By using a thigh cuff and Doppler probe at the posterior tibial artery

34
Q

Tell me about the ABI

A

1.0 - 1.2 is normal (per Adrienne, >1.2 is indicitive of bad things)

Per Skilling, > 0.9 is abnormal. Per everyone else, > 0.8 is abnormal

0.5 - 0.8 = cause claudication

35
Q

How do you treat PAD?

A

Aggressively treat the underlying problem
Control BP and hyperlipidemia
STOP SMOKING!
Progressive exercise training - better than placebo
Local wound care
Avoid saying “it may take awhile”?
Take care of your feet

36
Q

Do you want to take Aspirin or Clopidogrel (Plavix) for PAD

A

Plavix/Clopidogrel for PAD
Aspirin to prevent MI (Statins help too)
Can be taken in combination`

37
Q

What medication do you take for Intermittent Claudication?

A

Cilostazol

38
Q

What’s more effective (per Skilling): Bypass or Graft?

A

Grafts. Veins have valves - will eventually be as strong as an artery

39
Q

ABI is normal. Venous or Arterial Skin Ulcer?

A

Venous

40
Q

Lower 1/3 of leg. Venous or Arterial Skin Ulcer?

A

Venous (Arterial are most distal areas)

41
Q

Ulcer has regular borders. Venous or Arterial Skin Ulcer?

A

Arterial (Venous has irregular borders)

42
Q

Ulcer has dermatitis, hemosiderin, “bottle leg” and eczema. Venous or Arterial Skin Ulcer?

A

Venous (Arterial has no bleeding, dry base, “shiny”, and hair loss)

43
Q

Edema. Venous or Arterial Skin Ulcer?

A

Venous

44
Q

What is PAD?

A

i. Defined as partial or complete obstruction of one or more peripheral arteries due to atherosclerosis resulting in reduced blood flow to the limbs.
ii. aka atherosclerosis of the extremities

45
Q

What is PVD

A

i. Is considered a big umbrella term.

ii. PVD can either be Peripheral Arterial Disease or Chronic Venous Insufficiency (aka venous stasis disease)

46
Q

What is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?

A

A condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. Chronic venous insufficiency causes blood to pool or collect in these veins, and this pooling effect results in what’s known as stasis.
