HEMODYNAMIC DISORDERS Flashcards
Accumulation of fluid in tissues or body cavities
Edema (tissues)
Effusion (body cavities)
Increased blood volume within tissues
hyperemia and congestion
pathologic counterpart of hemostasis
thrombosis
A detached intravascular solid, liquid, or gaseous mass that is carried by the blood from its point of origin to a distant site, where it often causes tissue dysfunction or infarction
embolus
Area of ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of either the arterial supply or the venous drainage
infarct
State in which diminished cardiac output or reduced effective circulating blood volume impairs tissue perfusion and leads to cellular hypoxia
shock
4 main mechanisms of edema formation
- Increased hydrostatic pressure
- Decreased oncotic pressure
- Increased vascular permeability
- Lymphatic obstruction
General morphologic appearance of edema
- Clearing and separation of ECM
2. Subtle cell swelling
58/M, with history of MI, presented with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea. CXR showed bilateral pleural effusion. What is the diagnosis, the mechanism of edema in this case, and the kind of effusion?
Congestive heart failure; Increased hydrostatic pressure; Transudate
32/M, with history of remittent fever and productive cough, developed dyspnea. CXR showed right pleural effusion with left parenchymal infiltrates. What is the mechanism of edema in this case, and what is the kind of effusion?
Parapneumonic effusion; CAP MR; Increased vascular permeability; Exudate
57/M, chronic alcoholic, presented with increase in abdominal girth. Chemistry showed low serum albumin and elevated ALT and AST. Abdominal UTZ showed moderate ascites. What is the mechanism of edema in this case?
Decreased oncotic pressure
Decreased oncotic pressure
34/F, known case of breast cancer stage 2 (T2N0M0), s/p MRM, left, developed left arm swelling. What is the mechanism of edema in this case?
lymphatic obstruction
It is an active process resulting from augmented blood flow due to arteriolar dilation or increased oxygen demand; affected tissue is redder than normal, because of engorgement with oxygenated blood
HYPEREMIA
It is a passive process resulting from impaired venous return out of a tissue; tissue has a blue-red color due to accumulation of deoxygenated blood in the affected tissue
CONGESTION
24/M, with a large left atrial myxoma that obstructed flow of blood into the left atrium, subsequently died. Autopsy of the lung showed engorged alveolar capillaries, alveolar septal edema, and focal intra-alveolar hemorrhage. What is the diagnosis?
Acute pulmonary congestion
34/F, died from acute right-sided heart failure secondary to saddle embolus. Autopsy of the liver showed distended central vein and sinusoids, centrilobular ischemic necrosis, and periportal fatty change. What is the diagnosis?
Acute hepatic congestion
55/M, died of complications from congestive heart failure. Autopsy of the lung showed thickened and fibrotic alveolar septa, and hemosiderin-laden macrophages. What is the diagnosis?
Chronic passive congestion, lung
60/M, died of complications from heart failure. On autopsy, liver is heavier than normal and has a nutmeg-like appearance. Sections show centrilobular hemorrhage, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and hepatocyte loss of variable degrees. What is the diagnosis?
Chronic passive congestion, liver
Components of Virchow triad (abnormalities that lead to thrombus formation)
endothelial injury
stasis
hypercoagulability
It is a major contributor to the development of arterial thrombi
turbulence of endothelial injury
It is a major contributor to the development of arterial thrombi

endothelial injury
It is a major contributor to the development of venous thrombi
