Q

atherosclerosis what happens

A
  1. migration of SM—-> intinal thickening

= over 50yo

30
Q

Giant Cell Artertis vessel looks like

A

occludes the artery

31
Q

Giant Cell Artertis vessel looks like

A

= BIOPSY is must

occludes the artery (giant cells with intimal thickening, fragmented disrupted internal elastic lamina**)

32
Q

Takayasu arteritis sx and prevalence

A

female under 50yo or 40yo
= weakening upper extr. PULSE*
= can have ocular disturbance*

33
Q

Takayasu arteritis happens why

A

granulomatous autoimmune vasculitis to AORTA and (its pulm, coronary, renal As)

34
Q

Takayasu arteritis vessel looks like

A

Giant cells with intimal thickening looks like Giant cell arteritis

35
Q

Polyarteritis nodosa

A

HEPB

young adults

36
Q

Polyarteritis nodosa locations and sxs

A
  1. renal, heart, GI, skin vessels

2. rapid increase HTN, abd pain/blood, myaligia, renovascular htn

37
Q

Polyarteritis nodosa vessel looks like

A

fibrinoid necrosis , inflammation segmental

38
Q

Kawasaki Disease also called and prevalence

A

Mucocutaneous LN Syndrome

= children, infants

39
Q

Kawasaki Disease location and due to what

A
coronary a (aneurysm rupture of these As)
= viral trigger usually, activating T-cell and M
40
Q

Kawasaki Disease sx

A
= fever
= strawberry tongue super red 
= conjunctivitis 
= red palm and soles, lips 
= genital rash
41
Q

Churg- Strauss Syndrome what happens and why

A

= necrotizing granulomatosis allergic reaction

= EOSINOPHILS

42
Q

Churg- Strauss Syndrome sx and dx

A
  1. asthma, hypereosinophilia, lung infiltrates, purpura palpable on skin, GI bleeding, renal disease
  2. ANCA +
43
Q

Churg- Strauss Syndrome risk

A

MI, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis*,

44
Q

Wegeners Granulomatosis is what and vessels look like

A

Granulomatosis necrosis vasculitis RESPIRATORY + polyangitis
= can have renal necrosis

45
Q

Wegeners Granulomatosis happens from what cell and prevalence

A

T-cell mediated hypersensitivity

= male over 40yo

46
Q

Wegeners Granulomatosis dx

A

PR3-ANCA (c-ANCA)

47
Q

kidneys histology in Wegeners Granulomatosis

A

epithelial cells grow around compressing it = crescentic glomerulonephritis + focal necrosis

= tibial and radial As vasculitis
= smokers (hypersensitive to toxins)**
= under 35yo
= gangrene of fingers and toes

Q

Buergers disease sx stages

A
  1. Raynauds
  2. intermittent pain with exertion
  3. pain in rest
  4. ulcer –> gangrene
54
Q

Raynauds phenomenon has 3 colors

A

RED = vasodilation (proximal)
WHTIE = vasoconstriction (central)
BLUE = O2 insufficiency
(all happen)

55

Raynaud’s Phenomenon usually induced by

A

cold or emotion

56

Giant cell arteritis associated with

Polymyalgia rheumatica (stiff neck and shoulders)

57
Q

PCI

A

percutaneous coronary intervention - for MI prevention , catheter into coronary artery

58
Q

Balloon angioplasty + endovascular stent work how

A
  1. go into vessel and balloon at site of plaque (compressing it
  2. stent is placed to prevent rupture or thrombosis of any part of it + give antithrombotic drugs
59
Q

how to prevent thrombosis and replaquing in area where you have ballooned and stented

A

Drug eluting stents (release antiproliferative drugs)

60
Q

coronary metallic stent

A

expandible metallic mesh (can injure vessel and cause restenosis so give ANTI-thrombotics)

61
Q

vascular grafts is used for what

A

replace or bypass and vascular segment with a lot of atherosclerosis

62
Q

vascular grafts is for what vessels

A

large vessels only like in AAA (place in artery and go past it)

63
Q

CABG is what

A

coronary artery graft (graft saphenous vein, internal mammary A**) harvest that vein or A and use that to bypass a vessel

64
Q
