Hemodynamics Flashcards
What does exudate contain that transudate does not
Inflammatory cells
Examples of Localized Increased hydrostatic pressure
Venous stasis
Ascites
Examples of Generalized Increased hydrostatic pressure
Cardiac Failure
Renal Failure
What infiltrate is indicative of liquefactive necrosis
Neutrophils
What are the reasons a transudate can form?
Increased Hydrostatic Pressure Loss of Plasma Colloid Increased Vascular Permeability Impaired Lymphatic Drainage Salt and Water Retention
What is the difference b/w hyperemia and congestion?
Hyperemia = Active process due to increased blood inflow
Congestion = Passive process due to impaired venous outflow
Why would Renal Failure patients have non-gravity dependent edema?
Because their edema is due to a loss of colloid pressure, not hydrostatic pressure
Why is ventricular hypertrophy such a threat to induce heart failure?
Because there is no angiogenesis in the heart tissue. The heart muscle gets bigger without a corresponding increase in bloodflow to support it
Clinical symptom of left ventricular failure
Pulmonary Edema
Clinical symptom of right ventricular failure
Pitting edema. Blood accumulates in lower extremities because it cannot return to heart effectively
Clinical symptom of congested liver
Ascites
what happens to the architecture of the lungs after long-term heart failure?
Septa become very thickened.
Macrophages ingest RBC and form HFC’s to retain iron
What is amyloidosis
Amyloid is a misfolded protein that can accumulate in blood vessels
What can pericardial hemorrhage lead to
Tamponade
What is the state of normal hemostasis?
Conditions that allow for the fluidity of the blood to be maintained as well as allow for the formation of a solid plug to close a vascular defect
What are the three factors that determine hemostasis and thrombosis
Vascular endothelium
Platelets
Coag System
Endothelial cell anti-thrombotic properties
Antiplatelet effects
Anticoag properties
Fibrinolytic properties
Endothelial cell
PRO-thrombotic properties
Adhesion of platelets
Make vWF
Make TF
What is the first thing that happens after a vascular injury?
Transient arteriorlar vasoconstriction (reflex pathway)
What is exposed after a vascular injury that facilitates platelet adherence and activation?
Highly pro-throbotic subendothelial ECM
