Pathology of the Heart IV Flashcards
LVH
with systemic hypertension (>140/90)***
CHF or arrhythmias
cor pulmonale
pulmonary disorder causes pulmonary HTN
leads to right side hypertensive heart disease
COPD, interstitial lung disease, recurrent PE, kyphoscoliosis, obesity
stenosis
valve can’t open completely
- cusp abnormality
- almost always chronic
insufficiency
regurg or incompetence
-reverse flow
functional regurg
valve fine
-dilated annulus
most common cause of valve problems
rheumatic heart disease - mitral valve
aortic stenosis
calcified aortic valve
aortic insufficiency
dilation of ascending aorta - HTN and aging
mitral stenosis
rheumatic heart disease
mitral insufficiency
myxomatous degeneration - prolapse
calcific aortic stenosis
senile - in elderly 60-80yo
calcium mass in sinuses of valsalva
lead to LVH (concentric)
bicuspid aortic stenosis
in 2% population
-congeintal
more susceptible to calcification
-develps earlier
40-50yo
mitral annular calcification
women over 60yo
- occasional associated with arrhythmias
- not often affect valvular function
myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve
mitral valve prolapse
- ballooning of leaflets
- midsystolic click - leaflets hit inside vnetricle wall
- regurg murmur
secondary dilation of annulus, fibrosis of leaflets, jet lesions, thrombi
- marfan syndrome
- young women
young women with midsystolic click, anxiety and depression
mitral valve prolapse
aka myxomatous dengeration of mitral valve
acute rheumatic fever
from strep pharyngitis - 10 days - 6 weeks after
-antibodies for group A strep attack heart
pancarditis - every layer affected
-myocardium, endocardium, pericardium
also get polyarthritis
immune problem, NOT infection
aschoff bodies
acute rheumatic fever
granuloma - macros, lymphos, other inflamm cells
mononuclear in aschoff bodies
anitschkow cells
multinucleated in aschoff bodies
achoff cells
linear chromatin in aschoff bodies
caterpillar cells
chronic rheumatic heart disease
rheumatic heart disease
- long term after acute rheumatic fever
- chronic valvular disease - mitral and aortic
often mitral stenosis**
