Ischemic Heart Disease Histology Flashcards
hypoxia
reduced oxygen supply to a tissue with normal perfusion
ex. cyanotic congenital heart disease, severe anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning
clinical syndromes that can result from ixchemia
angina pectoris
myocardial infarction
chronic ischemic heart disease
sudden cardiac death
risk factors of HD
Heredity
Age
Sex
Lipidemia
Increased weight
Pressure
Inactivity
Diabetes
Smoking
“HAS LIPIDS”
reperfusion injury
reversible or irreversible injury caused by repurfusion
this includes myocardial stuning, srrythmias, microvascular injury, and irreversible cell damage
factors reducing coronary blood flow
decreased aortic diastolic pressure
increased intraventricular pressure and myocardial contraction
coronary artery stenosis
aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation
increased right atrial pressure
etiologies of coronary artery stenosis
fixed coronary stenosis
acute plaque change (rupture, hemorrhage)
coronary artery thrombosis
vasoconstriction
What is the most sensitive region to ischemia?
subendocardium
wave front moves outward from there
most common sites for thrombosis
LAD, right coronary, and left circumflex artery, in approximately a 3:2:1 ratio
complications of an MI
sudden cardiac death
congestive heart failure
aneurysm with mural thrombus formation
cardiac arrythmia
free wall rupture with resulting cardiac tamponade
Dresler’s syndrome (fibrinous pericarditis)
papillary muscle dysfunction with resultant valvular dysfunction usually of the mitral valve
1-4 hours of MI
usually no major changes
could be presence of wavy fibers due to inactive fibers being pulled on from the ends by live contracting myocytes
6-12 hours of MI
coagulative necrosis beings to appear
12-24 of MI
infarct becomes infiltrated by neutrophils, and the muscle cells begin to lose their nuclei and cross-striations
4-24 hours of MI
pale
swelling
contraction band necrosis
PMNs
3-5 days of MI
mottled yellow, red
hemorrhage
heavy PMNs
lowest degree of mechanical integrity and most prone to rupture
5-7 days of MI
mottled
macrophages and fibroblasts
lowest degree of mechanical integrity and most prone to rupture
2-4 weeks of MI
mottled
granulation tissue
