HEMODYNAMIC DISEASE II TERMS Flashcards
maintenance of the blood in a fluid clot free state in normal vessels
poised to induce a rapid and localized and localized hemostatic plug at a site of vascular injury
normal hemostasis
pathology of hemostasis; formation of clotted mass of blood constituents in uninterrupted vascular system
thrombosis
retarded flow of blood (especially in veins but also in arteries causes aneurysms or LV diastasic)
stasis
activation of platelets
endothelial injury
retards inflow of inhibitors
turbulence
pale platelet and fibrin deposits alternating with darker red cell-rich layers
lines of zahn
thrombi accumulate additional platelets and fibrin
propagation
thrombi dislodge and travel other sites in the vasculature
embolization
result in fibrinolysis which lead to rapid and shrinkage and total disappearance of recent thrombi?
dissolution
older thrombi become organized by ingrowth of endothelial cells, SM cells and fibroblasts
organization
most occur in superficial and deep veins of the leg
venous thrombosis
cause local problems but rarely embolism
superficial venous thrombosis
more likely to embolize to the lungs and gives rise to pulmonary infarction
deep venous thrombosis
common cause of death, assoc. with atherosclerosis
arterial thrombosis
detached intravascular solid, liquid, or gaseous mass
embolism
> 95% origin is in deep veins of legs
sudden death, right heart failure, or CV collapse occurs when more than 60% of pulmonary circulation obstructed
pulmonary embolism
