Patho Flashcards
Turner and valve
Bicuspid aortic valve - early systolic click RUSB. Leading aortic stenosis or regurgitation
Associated with turner syndrome
Doxorubicin and Cardiomyopathy
Dilated : reduced CO, elevated LVEDP -> pulmonary edema -> elevated RAP
Plaque stability
Macrophages secreting metalloproteinases, breakdown extracelular matrix
Papillary muscle and infarction
Acute mitral regurgitation (new systolic murmur). Reversible timely
Pulsus paradoxus
Drop > 10 SBP during inspiration
Tamponade, asthma, COPD, constrictive pericarditis
Beta agonist
Protein Gs - increases cAMP
Histológico finding in aortic dissection
Cystic medial degeneration (necrosis)
Peripartum cardiomyopaty
Dilated cardiomyopathy, eccentric hypertrophy. Increases compliance and decrease CO
Acute pericarditis
Fibrinous/serodibrinous type
Pericardial friction rub
Most specific sign
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
Vavular deposition is sterile platelet-rich trombi
Hypercoagulable state seen in advanced malignancy and systemic lupus erythematosus
Enlarged coronary sinus
Pulmonary hypertension
Massive PE
RV cavity enlargement and dysfunction
WPW and EKG
Accessory pathway (bundle of Kent)
Shortened PR
Delta wave
Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (most common)
Varicose veins
Chronically elevated venous pressure lead to incompetent venous valves , can result in venous stasis dermatitis
Takayasu arteritis
Female, Asian, under 40, arterio-occlusive and granulomatous inflammation os arterial media
