Ischaemia And Infarction Flashcards
Hypoxic hypoxia
Low inspired O2
Or normal inspired O2 but low PaO2
Anaemic hypoxia
Normal inspired O2 but blood is abnormal
Stangnant hypoxia
Normal inspired O2 but abnormal delivery from local occlusion of vessel or systemic effects eg shock
Cytotoxic hypoxia
Normal inspired O2 but abnormal at tissue level
Factors affecting oxygen supply
Inspired O2 Pulmonary function Blood constituents Blood flow Integrity of vasculature Tissue mechanisms
Factors affecting oxygen demand
Different types of tissue
Activity of tissues above baseline value
Causes of supply issues in is ischaemic heart disease
Coronary artery atheroma, cardiac failure, pulmonary disease or oedema (LVF), anaemia, previous MI
Cause of demand issues in is ischaemic heart disease
Heart has high Intrinsic demand, exertion/stress
Atheroma types in coronary artery
Established - stable angina(on exertion)
Complicated - unstable angina (at rest)
Ulcerated/fissured - thrombosis then ischaemia/infarction
Clinical consequences of ischemia
MI TIA Cerebral infarction Abdominal aortic aneurysm Peripheral vascular disease CF
blood flow formula
Q= difference in Pressure over resistance
Resistance is worked out with radius and constants and length and viscosity
Biochemical effects of ischemia
Only anaerobic respiration so less ATP
Lactate produces and the acid damages tissue
Clinical effects/symptoms of ischemia
Dysfunction
Pain
Physical damage
Outcomes of ischemia
No clinical effects
Resolution with or without therapeutic intervention
Infarction
Causes of infarction
Thrombosis
Embolism
Strangulation eg gut
trauma
Occlusion of either arterial supply or venous drainage
what is coagulative necrosis and where does it happen
Goes hard eg heart, lung
