LONG QUIZ 2 (2nd shifting) Flashcards
Vaculitides with unknown pathogenesis
Giant cell arteritis
Takayasu arteritis
Polyarteritis nodosa
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES
BERRY ANEURYSM
ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA
FIBROMUSCULAR DYSLPASIA
Abnormal , small direct connection between artery and vein
ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA
Focal, irregular thickening of and attenuation of the arterial
wall Due to intimal and medial hyperplasia and fibrosis
FIBROMUSCULAR DYSLPASIA
Outpouchings in cerebral vessels
BERRY ANEURYSM
3 patterns of arteriosclerosis
- Atherosclerosis
- Monckeberg medial sclerosis
- Arteriosclerosis
Calcific deposits in muscular arteries in person
typically older than 50 y/o
Monckeberg medial sclerosis
Affects small arteries and arterioles
Hyaline or hyperplastic
Associated with hypertension and DM
Arteriosclerosis
Characterized by intimal lesions called atheromas
(atheromatous or atherosclerotic plaques) that protrude in the vessel lumens
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis Cause pathology by the ff mechanisms
- Mechanical obstruction of flow
- Rupture leading to thrombosis
- Weakening of the underlying vessel wall, leading to
aneurysm
Major risk factors of Atherosclerosis
o Family history o Hypercholesterolemia o Hypertension o Smoking o Diabetes
Oxidized LDLs are ingested by macrophages, causing
formation of?
Foam cells
infections detected in atherosclerotic plaques
Herpes, CMV, and Chlamydia pneumonia
Consequences of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerotic Stenosis Acute Plaque change Thrombosis Vasoconstriction Vessel wall weakening
plaques that have large deformable cores, thin
fibrous caps, more inflammatory cell content
Vulnerable plaques
plaques with minimal core and thicker, well collagenized fibrous caps, less inflammation
Stable plaques
Rapidly rising BP; Leads to death if untreated within 1 to 2 years
malignant hypertension
Mechanisms of essential HPN
o Genetic factors
o Reduced renal sodium excretion
o Vasoconstrictive influences
o Environmental factors
SINGLE GENE DISORDERS related to HPN
Liddle syndrome
Involved in aldosterone
metabolism
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGE IN HYPERTENSION
Hyaline arteriosclerosis
Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis
Benign nephrosclerosis assoc w/?
Hyaline arteriosclerosis
Necrotizing arteriolitis in the kidney
Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis
Onion skin
Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis
Localized abnormal dilation of a blood vessel or wall of the
heart
Aneurysms
Aneurysm bounded by arterial wall components
True Aneurysm
breach in the vascular wall leading to extravascular
hematoma
False Aneurysm
types of true aneurysms
- Atherosclerotic
- Syphilitic
- Congenital vascular aneurysms
- Ventricular aneurysms that follow transmural MI
arises when blood enters the arterial wall itself, as a
hematoma dissecting between its layers
Arterial dissection
2 most important disorders that predispose to aortic aneurysms
atherosclerosis
HPN
embolization of a septic embolus; complication of infective endocarditis
Mycotic aneurysms
