ischemic heart disease Flashcards
Treatable risk factors for CAD
smoking
hypertension
Dyslipidemia/cholesterol
Treatable questionable risk factors for CAD:
diabetes obesity inflammation psychological stress sedentary lifestyle
Not treatable risk factor for CAD
male gender
age
genetics
Smoking causes a ______ tendency, promotes _____ by aryl hydrocarbon
thrombogenic
atherosclerosis
Smoking causes adverse effect on ____, ___ decrease O2 delivery, and causes ___dysfunction
lipoproteins (decrease DHL)
CO
Endothelial
HTN increases shear stress on arterial wall that cause direct ____
endothelial cell injury
HTN: Increased arterial wall stress initiates pathologic cell signaling program causing ____
oxidant stress, cellular proliferation
Diabetes and insulin resistance are associated with ________
inflammation, oxidative stress, dyslipidemia that predispose to atherosclerosis.
dyslipidemic triad includes ___
high LDL
low HDL
high Triglycerides
Oxided LDL becomes ___
pro inflammatory/atherogenic
Oxidized LDL effects:(4)
- injure vascular endothelium = impaired endothelial function
- Deposite in arterial wall = plaque volume/foam cell
- Activate inflammatory cell = progression/instability of lesion
- Activates platelet/prothrombotic
Roles of HDL (5)
- inhibit LDL oxidation
- Inhibit TF
- Enchance reverse cholesterol transport
- Stimulate endothelial NO production
- Inhibit endothelial adhesion molecules
DHL Overall function is to oppose ____
atherothrombosis
Inflammation plays a key role in ___ and ___
initiation and progression of atherosclerosis
Lipid laden macrophages in arterial walls are highly ____
pro-inflammatory
Extravascular inflammation (ex: ____) increase risk of _____ ____events
dental diseases
atherosclerotic CV events
