PATHOLOGY Flashcards
What is the arterial structure? and how is it made off?
Type of arteries?
What are the most affected arteries by atherosclerosis
Name the 3 key concept for atherosclerosis formation
- Endothelial damage
a. HTA
b. tabaco
c. LDL
d. turbulent flow - Chronic inflammation
Macrophages release cytokines - Smooth muscle proliferation
What is the key growth factor that make smooth mm proliferate?
Types oh hemorrhagic isquemia
Pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
Name the 5 organs and their regions more affected by isquemia
Which section is the most prone to produce isquemia?
B. Fibrous cap
Thin fibrous cap with weak connective tissue are prone to produce isquemia.
What are the cells we can find here?
Dark blue: fibrous cap
Pale area: Macrophages filled with lipid
% of obstruction of coronary lumen to produce estable angina
Why people with coronary aa disease sudden deaths?
Arrrythmias
Develop Ventricular taqycardias or AF
Risk factors for developing coronary aa disease?
Hypertension
hyperlipidemia
Family history (1 relative, F lees 60 and male less 50)
Smoking
Obesity
What is the extent of the coronary ischemia?
Ischemic changes in EKG in NSTEMI
T inversions
ST Depressions
What are the gross changes expected in myocardial infarction?
What are the acute complications myocardial infarction?
What valve is affected in inferior infarcts?
Mitral valve because it attaches to the inferior wall if the left ventricle
Complications of stent colocation¨:
What are the coronary arteries territories?
What are the 2 hallmarks of right ventricular infarction?
- Elevated jugular venous pressure
- Hypotension: decreased preload
What is a special complication of MI infarctions?
What does an elevated AVR means?
What is the difference between a posterior and a inferior infarction?
Posterior: It just affects the Posterior descending artery
Inferior: Affects the dominant artery
