16
Q

Definition of hypertensive heart disease (pathology)

A
  • LVH in someone w/HTN

- No other reason for LVH

17
Q

Pathogenesis of HHD

A
  • Sustained pressure load acts as stimulus causing changes in gene expression of myosin, actin, etc.
  • Increased metabolic requirements w/reduced supply
18
Q

Gross morphology of HHD

A
  • Increased heart weight
  • LVH usually concentric
  • Dilation if longstanding with RVH
  • CAD
19
Q

Micro morphology of HHD

A
  • Enlarged, hyperchromatic “box car” nuclei

- Interstitial fibrosis/infarcts

20
Q

Definition of cor pulmonale (pathology)

A
  • Disease of R heart due to pulm HTN

* NOT due to L heart or congenital disease

21
Q

Morphology of acute cor pulmonale

A

Acute RVF = dilated, normal chamber size

22
Q

Morphology of chronic cor pulmonale

A

Chronic RVF = increased weight, pulm artery AS
