Q

TGA. D v L TGA

A

failed conotruncal septum to spiral & divide TA to pulm aa & aorta -> aorta = ant on RV, pulm a on LV. pulm & systemic circs in parallel not nml series -> incompatible w/ life w/o mixing circs vs nml circs but L/RV switched -> deO2 blood go to RA to LV to pulm aa, O2 blood go to pulm vv to LA to RV to aorta

Q

general idea of L to R shunt vs R to L shunt

A

blood from L to R -> dec CO -> dec O2 to tissue -> Qp/Qs > 1.5:1-> R heart overload, inc pulm pressure/resistance, edema vs blood from R to L -> Qp/Qs < 1:1 -> L heart overload

18
Q

Anomalous coronary a from pulm a

A

L>R coronary a -> LV perfused by desaturated blood under low pressure -> myocardial ischemia -> CP, syncope, sudden cardiac death, MI

19
Q

xanthoma?
* Xanthelasma =
* Tuberous =
* Tendinous =
* Eruptive =

A

deposited lipid laden macs in skin or tendon. most common; soft & yellow vs extensors knees/elbows/butt d/t hyperchol & high LDL vs subq nodules on extensors hands/feet/Achilles vs pruritic red-yellow papules on extensors/butt/shoulders d/t hyperTG x/ IV; Can spont resolve in weeks

20
Q

concentric vs eccentric hypertrophy

A

high overload -> new sarcomeres in parallel w/ long axes of cardiomyocytes vs vol-overload hypertrophy/aortic regurg -> vent dil -> new sarcomeres in series w/ existing sarcomeres

21
Q

superficial vs DVT affects which vv? causes vs clin pres of DVT?

A

great/less saph vv vs iliac, fem, popliteal, tibial vv. immobile, cig smoke, obese, ocp, hormone replace, preg, surg/trauma, antiphospholipid ab, Factor V Leiden, prothrombin mutation vs pulm thromboembolism

22
Q

cause vs clin pres vs complications of thrombophlebitis?

A

staph aureus, S. epidermidis, K. pneu, E. coli, Pseudomonas; IV cath, venipuncture for phlebotomy & IV injections vs fever/chills, limb swelling, tender vs sepsis, infective endocarditis

23
Q
  • Migratory thrombophlebitis/Trousseau
A

recurrent venous thrombosis preceding or concomitant w/ occult visceral malig from ca procoagulant or tissue factor

24
Q

Cause of venous thrombosis?

A

Virchow’s triad: vessel wall injury; venous stasis from immobility; change in blood composition from factor V Leiden, lupus anticoag, protein C/S defic, antithrombin defic, malig

25
Q

risk factors vs clin pres of varicose vv of LE

A

fhx, age, female, multipara; obese, occupation vs Chronic insufficiency of LE, Pitting edema; Venous stasis, ulcer; Superficial thrombophlebitis

26
Q

primary vs secondary lymphedema

A

in children; Milroy dz: auto dom VEGFR3 -> dec lymp vessel -> can’t absorb lymph fluid -> painless chronic LE lymphedema vs in adults; Brca, rads therapy, extensive skin resect, extreme obese

27
Q

varicose vv of LE. primary vs secondary?

A

subq dil vessels in LE esp great/less saph vv -> inc venous pressure, dec venous return. downreg P2X1 receptors -> lose ctxile cells -> can’t vasoconstrict, just dil -> secondary valve dz vs inflam & destruction of vessel wall -> inc venous pressure -> more inflam & venous destruction

28
Q

examples of complicated plaques

A

calcification in lipid core; superficial v deep rupture; chol crystal in small/med aa esp abd aorta -> livedo reticularis, blue toe syndrome, LE pain; plaque hem from rupture of newly formed capillaries

29
