Pathology Flashcards
To learn abt patho of cardio module 2
Types of hypertension
Primary= DS>89mm of Hg, SS>139mm of Hg Secondary= Due to underlining cause, ex, renal failure, etc malignant= DS>120mm of Hg, SS>200mm of Hg, Death with in 1-2 years
Stages of hypertension
Normal= SS<120, DS<80mm Hg
Pre-HTN= SS 120-139, DS 80-89mm Hg
Stage 1 HTN= SS 140-159, DS 90-99
Stage 2 HTN= SS >or = 160, DS >or = 100mm Hg
MC complications of HTN
Atherosclerosis (Major)
Halve of the pt. dies becz of IHD
1/3rd by stroke
Renin-angiotensin system
Low BP= low perfusion in kidneys = Renin secretion( a proteolytic enzyme) , angiotensinogen from liver, Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to Angiotensin 1, Then lung epithelium –> ACE, which converts Angiotensin 1–>angiotensin 2 –> adrenal gland–> aldosterone–> inc. Na+ absorption in kidney = inc. in BP
types of arteriosclerosis
Medial Calcification
Hyaline arteriosclerosis
Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis
Atherosclerosis ( MC pattern amg all)
Medial Calcification
Occurs in medial layer of arteries
also known as Monkeberg Medial classification
> 50 yrs old
MC Radial and ulnar arteries
hyaline arteriosclerosis
protein deposits and occlusion of vessels
MC cause Essential/normal HTN, or DM
Kidney= Bening Nephrosclerosis
Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
Onion-Skin lesion
Hyperplasia of SMCs
occurs in malignant HTN
Atherosclerosis
MC pattern amg all *Pathogenesis and Site= LIFE is A PIC L= lipid increment I= Inflamation / Inflamatory cells involve F= Fatty Streak= In childre( earliest compl.) E= Endothelial injury *Site A= abdominal aortap P= popliteal artery I= Internal carotid artery C= coronary artery
Most Feared Complication of Atheroscl.
Thrombus formation
Atherscl. plaque contains
A fibrous cap necrotizing center cholestrol crystals Macrophages Lymphocytes
Angina Pectoris and its Types
Angina = Pain Pectoris= Chest Types Stable angina Unstable angina Prinzmetal angina
Stable Angina
MC form, from 15 sec to 15 mints
pain relieves on rest or by vasodialators
Occurs via emotional or physical stress
Unstable angina
More than 20mints
do not subside by rest or vasodialators
procedes to MI
Prinzmetal angina
Due to vasospasm
may also be caused by cocaine, ephedrine or epinephrine
Causes Multifocal infarct and sudden cardiac death due to fatal arrhythmia
MC cause of IHD
90% atherosclerosis
Causes of MI
90% Thrombus other 10% Shock ( Global Hypotension ) endocarditis sickle cell anemia cocaine Embolism
MC artery for MI
LAD 40-50% cases
supplies anterior wall/ apex of left ventricle
RCA and LCA
Right coronary and left circumflex artery
RCA= inferior/posterior wall
LCA= lateral wall of left ventricle
Tansmural MI
Full thickness MI with ST segment elevation
Sub-endocordial and Multifocal MI
sub= inner third of wall multifocal= patches of infarct in whole myocardium
Causes of multifocal MI
Vasospasm
vasculitis
cocaine
epenephrine
Most severe complication of multifocal MI
fatal arrhytmia
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Broken-heart syndrome
Cause of RF and RHD
Grp-A beta-hemolytic streptococci
or
streptoccocus pyogenes
MC age grp for RHD
5-15 yrs
school going children n young adults
Diagnostic criteria for RF/RHD
JONES CAFE J= joint problem O= resembles heart = pancarditis N= subcutaneous nodule E= erythema marginatum S= syndanham corrhea
CAFE C= C-reactive protein A= arthralgia F= fever E= elevated ESR
MC cause of death in acute RHD
myocarditis
Aschoff bodies
granuloma found in myocardium in RHD
cater-pillar cells / activated histiocytes / anitschkow cells
Macrophages found Aschoff bodies
MC chronic complication of RHD
mitralstenosis
Types of cardiomyopathy
3 types
Dialated / congestive
hypertrophic
restrictive
MC cause of cardiomyopathy
Dialated/ congestive cardiomyopathy
and it is systolic dysfunction i.e. diff to pump blood
MC complication of dialated cardiomyopathy
mural thrombus
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Myocardial hypertrophy with impaired filling(compliance) / diasstolic dysfunction
Banana-like appearance of heart
in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy becz of buldging of septum
murmur in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
systolic ejection murmur
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Diastolic dysfunction
MC cause idiopathic
Myocarditis causes
MC = coxasckievirus bacteria, fungi, protozoa immune-mediated causes Post-viral rheumatic fever SLE transplant rejection
MC type of myocarditis
Lymphocytic
