Heart pathology Flashcards
Heart failure cells
Left sided heart failure
Cor pulmonale
Right sided heart failure
secondary to lung disease
Pitting edema and hepatosplenomegaly
right sided heart failure
Lower extremity cyanosis
Infantile coarctation of the aorta
associated with a PDA
Hypertension in upper extremities and weak pulses in lower extremities
Adult coarctation of the aorta
Collateral circulation develops across the intercostal arteries; engorged arteries cause rib notching
Associated with bicupsid aortic valve
NKX2.5
ASD or conduction defects
TBX1 (deletion in 22q11.2)
DiGeorge syndrome- ASD, VSD, or outflow tract obstruction
FBN1
Marfan syndrome- aortic aneurysms, valve abnormalities
Eisenmenger syndrome
Large VSD with irreversible pulmonary hypertension
Can lead to shunt reversal
Types of atrial septal defects
- Secundum- involves fossa ovalis
- Primum- adjacent to AV vale
- Sinus venosus- near superior vena cava
continuous harsh machine like murmur
patent ductus arteriosus
Tetralogy of fallot
- Stenosis of the R ventricular outflow tract
- Right ventricular hypertrophy
- Ventricular septal defect
- Aorta that overrides the VSD
Boot shaped heart
tetralogy of fallot
Rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque with thrombosis and complete occlusion of a coronary artery
MI
Transposition of the great vessels
aorta from R ventricle
pulmonary artery from L ventricle
Incompatible with life unless you have a septal defect
4 clinical syndromes of ischemic heart disease
- Sudden cardiac death
- Angina pectoris
- Myocardial infarction
- Chronic ischemic heart disease
prinzmetal angina
sustained vasospasm causing angina
