123
etiology of pulmonary HTN in patient secondatry to left-sided heart failure
reactive vasoconstriction due to venous congestion increase pulmonary venous congestion --> capillary leak (increased hydrostatic pressure) --> pulmonary edema. edema causes alveolar collapse & decreased ventilation --> hypoxemia. reactive vasoconstriction occurs in order to shunt blood to areas w/ better ventilation.
124
most common cause of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction?
chronic HTN. concentric LV hypertrophy, decreases LV diastolic compliance. as a result: steady state LV filling pressures rise to maintain SV & CO --> LA pressure elevation --> pulmonary venous congestion
125
etiology of pulmonary HTN secondary to COPD

132
receptor changes w/ long-tern ethanol use (3)
1. downregulation of GABA - normally binds & potentiates effects 2. upregulation of NMDA receptor - normally inhibits NMDA 3. increase synthesis of excitatory mediaors: NE, 5-HT, dopamine leads to tolerance (need to increase dose to get desirable effect) and withdrawal upon cessation. --> substance dependence

150
what does failed gallbladder visualization on HIDA (radionucleotide billary scan) suggest?
cannot visualize gallbladder: CYSTIC DUCT. goes from liver --> bowel suggests stone obstructing cystic duct. bile cannot go from liver -> hepatic duct -> cystic duct instead liver -> hepatic duct -> bile duct -> bowel
151
what does filling of gallbladder on HIDA but poor ejection suggest?
obstruction in common bile duct | cystic duct clear, bc liver bile -> hepatic duct -> cystic duct fine
152
gallstone visualization
ULTRASOUND not enough calcium for X-ray
153
definitive diagnosis of acute cholecystitis
HIDA SCAN! - lack of filling (cystic duct obst) - lack of ejection (common duct obst) just STONES on ultrasound is NOT sufficient (many have and are asymptomatic) need: distended gallbladder, wall thickening, pericholescystic fluid, positive sonographic murphy
