_______________________ typically refers to lower extremity skeletal muscle pain that occurs during exercise
Intermittent claudication (IC)
Peripheral Venous Disease (PVD) AKA?

2) venous endothelial injury
3) hypercoagulation state
Pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism - 1st stage
Depends on size and degree of blood flow
obstructed
Pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism - 2nd stage
Causes reflex bronchoconstriction in
affected area and impaired gas exchange

circulation) - Vertebral arteries (posterior
circulation)
Tissue Perfusion = _____________?
Blood flow
______________ is an abnormal bulging of and arterial wall (“a widening”)
Aneurysm
Aneurysm is caused by a defect or acquired weakness of the _________________ which worsens over time as blood is
pushed against it
arterial wall
______________ is an abnormally low flow of blood to tissues
