Hemodynamic disorders Flashcards
Madaras lectures, week 2
Define Hyperemia
Locally increased blood volume
Define Active Hyperemia
increase in the blood supply to an organ
caused by arteriolar vasodilation
Define Passive Hyperemia
what is the other name?
Also called congestion
blood can’t properly exit an organ- impaired outflow of venous blood
What will happen in left side heart failure?
Blood stays in the lungs
lungs congestion
(Left=Lung)
What will happen in right side heart failure?
Blood stays in the systemic circulation, many organs are congested
Define Edema
Increased fluids content in the Interstitium
What is Erythema?
Redness of the skin/ mucous membrane
Congested tissue appearance
Abnormal red-blue color (cyanotic- bcs of the accumuation deoxygenated Hg)
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (RHF)
liver appearance?
Nutmeg liver
Centriolobular necrosis
Cardiac fibrosis
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (RHF)
kidney appearance?
Stellate veins accenuated
Cortex widened
Sharp seperation of Medulla and Cortex
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (RHF)
spleen appearance?
Enlarged
Livid
Fibrosis
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (RHF)
skin appearance?
Cyanosis
Anasarca
Define Anasarca
Severe Edema
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (RHF)
Body cavities appearance?
Ascites
Hydrothorax
Define Ascites
abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen
Consequences of systemic chronic congestion (LHF)
Lungs appearance?
Heavy
Firm
HF cells
Hemosiderin pigments in HF cells
Define Exudate
Edema fluis which is rich in proteins
Pathomechanism of Hemorrhage
Rupture of vessels wall
Erosion of vessels wall
Vascular wall abnormalities (bcs of Hypoxia, Drugs…)
Disorders (Thrombocytopenia, Thrombasthenia, Clotting factors problems)
How do you call low platelets count
Thrombocytopenia
How do you call deffective platelets function
Thrombasthenia
Define Patechia
1–2 mm red or purple spot (hemorrhage) on the skin or conjunctiva
Define Purpura
3-10 mm red or purple spot (hemorrhage) on the skin caused by minor bleeding
Define Ecchymosis
Subcutaneous spot of bleeding with diameter larger than 1 cm
Why will we see color change in bruises?
Enzymatic conversion of Hg -> Bilirubin -> Hemosiderin
