where?
subendocardial layer

LAD
An MI due to a Thrombus will only occur in what instance?
Preceding atherosclerotic plaque blocking greater than 75%
Cardiac Tamponade: after _____ cc fills sac every heart beat
Left Ventricular Aneurism: myocardial infarcts replaced with _____ and _________ tissue that can bulge under pressure and form aneurism
In left ventricular aneurism, the heart contracts _______ b/c fibrous tissue forming wall does not contract
Mural Thrombus: endocardium overlying infarct is damaged, blood coagulates, causes ______
300-350 cc
granulation / fibrous tissue
irregularly
necrosis/thrombus
There is a relationship between atherosclerosis, MI’s, and poor dental health
True
The mechanism that relates atherosclerosis, MI’s, and poor dental health are _________ infections due to caries, perio, __________, and blood coagulation
gram-negative bacterial
plasma lipoproteins
Dental caries and ischemic heart disease share low SES, smoking, diabetes as comorbidities

False
*NOT compesatory
Left HF:
Right HF:
LV hypertrophy, pulmonary congestion
Left side fails, peripheral back-up
RAS (renin angiotensin system) is one of the main causes of what?
