hrt failure pathology Flashcards
a hypertrophied heart is
enlarged with thickened left ventricle
restrictive heart disease due to
infiltrative process - amyloidosis, sacroidosis
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is
a genetic muscle disease
primary cardiomyopathy
3 ways in which a heart can hypertrophy
hypertension
fabry’s disease
LVH in setting or aortic valve disease
dilated cardiomyopathy has what type of failure
forward failure often but can have backwards failure too
secondary dilated cardiomyopathy can be the result of
atherosclerotic heart disease
dilated heart chambers can lead to
mural thrombi
histological features of a dilated heart
- cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
- fibrosis - lace-like
- degenerative changes
asymmetric septal hypertrophy often seen in
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- scarring arrythmogenic foci
- prone to sudden death
Marked cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myofibre disarray suggest
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
one way to deal with an obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
to ablate with alcohol - the septum
Hypertensive heart disease, with no myofiber disarray often
hypertrophied heart! NOT hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
stiff ventricles suggest
restrictive cardiomyopathy
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is
diastolic heart failure
