Path 2 Flashcards
“bread & butter”, adhesions
Fibrinous pericarditis
hemorrhagic pericarditis (malignancy, TB)
bacteria, fungi
dilated cardiomyopathy, most common,
etiology: etoh & drugs, genetics
fibrous scar formation in cardiomyopathy
myocytes arranged haphazardly
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
restrictive cardiomyopathy (amyloidosis)
restrictive cardiomyopathy (hemochromatosis)
acute bacterial endocarditis, staph aureus & other virulent bacteria, large friable vegetations on valve cusps
subacute bacterial endocarditis, strep viridans & other less virulent bacteria
vegetations on valve leaflets (bacterial endocarditis)
clinical presentation of bacterial endocarditis
clinical presentation of bacterial endocarditis
small vegetations on valve cusps in RF
aschoff bodies in myocardium (Acute RHD)
aschoff bodies, myocarditis in acute RHD
endocarditis dominates in chronic RHD
fishmouth mitral stenosis in chronic RHD
fishmouth valves, mitral stenosis in chronic RHD
Non Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis
- d/t hypercoagulable states e.g. cancer, chr illness, trauma from indwelling catheter
- less # of vegetations, non destructive, but friable
Non Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis
-pink fibrin, no inflammation or bacteria
Libman-Sacks Endocarditis d/t SLE
-small sterile vegetations, trigger inflammation, can occur anywhere
Types of vegetations
