Q

vwbF- what it is and what it does, where is is

A

von willebrand factor mediates platelet adherence to injured vessel wall by binging collagen and platelet receptor complex (Gp1b/V/IX) binding causes platelets to degranulate and attract more platelets. Von Willebrand factor is synthesized in the walls of the blood vessels and circulates freely in the blood in a folded form. When it encounters damage to the wall of a blood vessel, particularly in situations of high velocity blood flow, it binds to the collagen beneath the damaged endothelium and uncoils into its active form.

Q

Heyde’s syndrome

A

aortic stenosis, the stenotic aortic valve becomes narrowed. Blood flow rate is increased to make up for the narrowing, the combination of narrowing and increased flow rate causes sheer stress which causes vWF to unravel like it does when it senses capillary vessel trauma, cleaved by ADAMTS13, the amount of (inactivated) vWF in the blood decreases and therefore bleeding increases. due to angiodysplasia- causes GI bleeds
