Thrombosis Flashcards
Functions of normal hemostasis
To maintain blood in a fluid, clot-free state under normal conditions
To induce rapid and localized hemostatic plug formation during vascular injury
Hemostasis and Thrombosis regulated by
Vascular wall
Platelet
Coagulation cascade
Steps of hemostasis
Vasoconstriction
Plug formation
Coagulation
Fibrous formation
Vasoconstriction can be brought about by
Endothelin
Myogenic spasm
Noci receptor reflex
inhibits platelets from adhering to uninjured endothelium
NO
Prostacyclin(PGI2)
GP2b/3a deficiency
Glanzmann thombasthenia
GP1b deficiency
Bernard souiler syndrome
Upon contact with the ECM, platelets undergo three reactions
Activation involving adhesion and shape change
Secretion
Aggregation
Endothelial dysfunction can be due to
hypertension turbulent blood flow bacterial endotoxins radiation injury hypercholesterolemia
Turbulence
Ulcerated artherosclerosis plaque
Stasis
Aneurysm MI Mitral valve stenosis Hyperviscosity(polycythemia Vera-blood cancer) Sickle cell anemia
Leiden mutation
Factor 5
Glutamate to Arginine
506
Rare genetic hypercoagulatable state
Antithrombin 3 deficiency
Protein C deficiency
Protein S deficiency
Secondary hypercoagulable state(high risk)
Bed rest/immobilization MI Atrial fibrillation Tissue injury Cancer Prosthetic cardiac valves DIC(dissemination intravascular coagulation)
Arterial or cardiac thrombi usually begin at
sites of turbulence or endothelial injury.
