UW Q and A Flashcards
Acute graft rejection (t, histo, rxn, Sx)
1-4 weeks posttransplant; end-myocardial biopsy-dense infiltrate of mononuclear cells of T-lym; sensitization against foreign MHC antigens; dyspnea on exertion/paroxysmal not dyspnea). Can be humoral rejection-direct immunofluorescence.
Histo of hypersensitivity myocarditis
Due to drug therapy, perivascular infiltration w/abundant eosinophils
Ischemic damage to the donor heart histo
Patchy necrosis w/granulation tissue
Chronic rejection of organ
scant inflammation cells, interest fibrosis, host T, B cells, abs. Months-years.
MAP during exercises why a modest increase
Because despite increased CO, SVR decreases due to arteriolar dilation in active muscles -local adenosine, K, ATP, CO2, lactate.
Collagen subtypes
Type 1: skin, bone, tendons, ligaments, dentin, cornea, BV, scar (infarct)-OsteogImp; 2- cartilage, vitreous h, null pulp-skew dysplasias; 3- skin, lungs, BV, BM, lymph, granulation-vast Ehlers-Danlos; 4- Basem member-Alport.
T for MI histo (0-4h, 4-12, 12-24, 1-3D, 3-7, 7-10, 10-14, 2-8w)
0-4 h: no, 4-12: wavy fibers, narrow, long myocytes; 12-24: hypereosinoph, shrunken nuclei; 1-3 D: coagulation near (no nuclei, striations), neutrophils infiltrate; 3-7 D: disintegrated of dead neutrophils, myofibers, Macrophage infiltr at borders; 7-10D: phagocyt of dead cells, granul tissue begins at margins; 10-14 D: granul w/neovascul; 2-8 w: collagen deposit, scar.
a1 agonists (phenylephrine, methoxamine)
vasoconstriction (renal, splanchnic as well>decr perf), mydriasis, incr intern urethral sphincter tone and prostate contraction, Increased BP>reflexive inc in vagal tone on heart> inh SA node, slowed AV cond, decr contract> decr HR.
a2 agonists
CNS mediated decr in BP, dear IOP, dear lipolysis, dear presynap NE release; inc plates aggreg.
Hibernating myocardium, CABG/PCI
chronic ischemia, prevents necrosis; reduced ca responsiveness, decreased expression, disorgan of contractile and cytoskel proteins, ch adrenerg control. > dear contract, LV syst dysf.
Ischemic preconditioning
brief repet ischemia w/reperfusion>greater time for salvage. Ex:Angina prior MI.
Reperfusion injury
Sx: arrhythmias, myoc stunning, myocyte injury, death.
LV P and V loop
Vertical-afterload; horiz-preload (decr=left shift, N=1 or EDV), contract (decr=right shift), SV-width. Compliance - lower line (4 (MV opens) to 1).
Isovolumetric contraction
1-LV contract, closure of MV, S1, EDV. 2- AV opens.
Ventricular ejection
Blood from LV>aorta. 3- AV closes, S2.
Isovolumetric relaxation
3 to 4- LV P falls.
Ventricular filling
4-MV opens. S3, S4 -b/w 1-4.
dyspnea on exertion (decr SV), chest tight, tachy, low voltage QRS (distance-fluid), beat to beat variation in QRS axis. E:?. CXR:?
Pericardial effusion. E: acute peric, injury (MI), tumor, RF w/uremia. CXR: enlarged, clear lungs.
CXR COPD
Hyperinflation (>10 posterior ribs), incr bronch markings, flat diaphragm.
CXR Pull edema
Patchy perihilar infiltrates
CXR pneumothorax
no peripheral lung markings, collapsed lung
CXR pleural effusion
costophrenic, cardiophrenic angles obscured, loss of diaphr contour, white-up. Fluid meniscus.
role of arginine in vasodilation
Acetylcholine, shear stress, bradykinin from endoth> Ca cat incr> eNOS> Arginine+O2>NO+citrulline. NO goes for GC in muscle to turn GTP>cGMP.
SE from dual chamber pacemaker
TR to RHF (SVC>RA>RV)
Myocyte relaxation pumps
Na-3Ca exchanger on T tubule, SERCA (Ca ATPase) on Sarc retic from cytoplasm where myofilaments.
Thiazide diuretics MOA
inhibit Na/Cl cotransp in DCT, decrease reabs.
RAAS
Blood volume/pressure drop>RAAS> renin (Angiotensinogen>Ang1)> ACE (ang1 to ang2). ANg2> vasoconstriction and aldosterone. Aldosterone> Na (3), H2O reabs incr, K (2) and H secretion (NaK ATPase -basal membrane).
