Week 3 Flashcards
5 specific examples of circulatory shock
Cardiogenic shock
Cardiac pumping compromised -> decreased CO
Ex: severe arrhythmias, abrupt valve malfunction, MI, coronary occlusions
Hypovolemic shock
Depletion of body fluids -> decreased blood volume -> reduced cardiac filling -> reduced SV
Ex: significant hemorrhage (>20% blood volume), fluid loss from severe burns, chronic diarrhea, prolonged vomiting
Anaphylactic shock
Severe allergic reaction to antigen sensitivity -> release of histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, bradykinin -> increased arteriolar vasodilation -> increased microvascular permeability -> loss of venous tone -> decreased TPR and CO
Septic shock
Severe vasodilation due to release of substances into blood stream by infective agents.
Ex: endotoxin released from bacteria induces formation of a nitric oxide synthase in endothelial cells
Neurogenic shock
Loss of vascular tone due to inhibition of normal tonic activity of sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerves
Ex: deep general anesthesia, reflex response to deep pain associated with traumatic injury
May also be accompanied by increased vagal activity -> decreased HR; this shock is called “vasovagal syncope”
define autotransfusion
a reduced capillary hydrostatic pressure resulting from intense arteriolar constriction
why do people breath rapid and shallowly when they are in circulatory shock
because they are using the respiratory pump in order to get blood through the lungs more quickely
how does the liver help out when the body is in circulatory shock?
increases glycogenolysis in order to increase blood osmolarity
what are your EFs like in systolic heart failure
lower duh
What is the term for autoimmune pericarditis that results a significant time after an MI (on the order of weeks to months)
dressler’s pericarditis
how big does the LV wall have to get in order for it to be considered hypertrophic
> 1.5 cm
what happens after left ventricle hypertrophy that can lead fo further failure
LV dilatation
causes of isolated right sided hypertensive heart disease (cor pulmonale)
how big does the RV have to be in order for it to be hypertrophied
Due to chronically ↑ pulmonary artery pressure from:
- ***chronic pulmonary parenchymal disease: COPD, interstitial fibrosing diseases (sarcoidosis)
- chronic hypoxia with or without lung disease (e.g. sleep apnea) (causing pulmonary vasoconstriction)
- pulmonary vascular disease: primary pulmonary hypertension and chronic recurrent thromboemboli
(RV free wall > 0.5 cm)
R-sided IE usually caused by
I.V. drug abuse
connective tissue diseases that can cause valve deformations
Reumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis,
atrioventricular valve insufficiency can be due to what give 2 examples
- CHF (causing valve ring dilatation)
- papillary muscle dysfunction (from LV ischemia due to
coronary disease)
most common primary cardiac neoplasia
atrial myxoma (usually left atrium)
tuberous sclerosis
bunch of tumors everywhere that are benign. caused by mutation in tumor supressor proteins. causes rhabdomyomas (benign tumor in striated muscle like cardiac muscle) in children - most common form of primary cardiac cancer in children
where do most metastisies to the heart go?
in the pericardium
where do catacholamines come from aka pathway from AA to epi
Phenylalanine —phenylalanine hydroxylase—>
tyrasine —tyrosine hydroxylase—>
dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) —-DOPA decarboxylase—>
dopamine —vitamin c & dopamine beta hydroxylase—>
NE —SAM—> Epi
what does the preganglionic adernergic nerve relsease
ACh
what is the difference between somatic nerves coming off of the spinal cord and adrenergic nerves coming off the spinal cord
Adrenergic - has preganglionic nerves coming off the spinal cord and ganglia in the periphery. sympathetic ganglion have nicotinic receptors that ACh binds to.
what happens to the postganglionic nerve when ACh hits it?
sodium comes in, causes action potential propagation via calcium ion gated channels. Vesicles dock with the membrane at the end of the neuron and NE spills out.
when would you want to measure vanillylmandelic acid in the urine
pheochromocytoma, catacholamine secreting tumor
isoproterinol
activates beta 1 and 2 adrenergic receptors
increases heart rate and lowers resistance (can lower BP because of beta 2 action)
phenylephrine
alpha 1 agonist
only one used clinically
used as a vasoconstrictor and nasal decongestant
increases BP
If given with an alpha blocker, it does nothing
alpha 1 antagonists
things that end in azosin
terazosin
prazosin
doxazosin
Dobutamine
Selective B1 agonist
positive inotrope
increases contractility, increases SV and BP
if you wanted to boost the SV in a heart failure patient you could give this in the hospital
increases BP
B2 activators
used for what
which ones delay labor
Albuterol, Metaproterenol, Salmeterol, Ritodrine, Terbutaline,
brochodilation for asthma (except ritodrine)
lowers blood pressure, causes tachycardia, tremors
Ritodrine and terbutaline delay labor.
propanolol
non selective beta 1 and 2 antagonist
blocks the B2 activators like albuterol
mech of furosemide
NKCC pump inhibitor
