Question
Answer
mechanisms of cardiac compensation   NE to inc HR/contractility, angiotensinII and aldosterone to inc PVR and blood vol, ANP for vasodilation, natri- & diuresis. Frank-Starling. myocardial hypertrophy  
🗑
concentric vs eccentric hypertrophy   concentric: diameter of cells increases, thicker ventricle without chamber size growing // eccentric: length of cells increases, heart size and wall thickness increase  
🗑
causes of left sided heart failure   ischemic heart dz, systemic HTN, mitral or aortic valve dz, primary dz of myocardium  
🗑
causes of right sided heart failure   L sided heart failure (most commonly), pulmonary parenchymal or vascular dz like COPD, fibrosis, etc.  
🗑
clinical findings of L heart failure   pulmonary edema, cough, dyspnea/cough, orthopnea, PND. chronic passive congestion with hemosiderin-filled macrophages, resultant fibrosis over time  
🗑
clinical findings of R heart failure   congestion in body: peripheral edema, HSM, pleural or pericardial effusions, ascites. nutmeg liver due to chronic passive congestion  
🗑
cor pulmonale   RVH with dilation caused by primary lung disorders: acute - usually due to PE obstructing @ least 50% of vasculature, chronic - develops more insidiously as from pulmonary fibrosis from sarcoidosis  
🗑
4 manifestation of ischemic heart dz   ACS: angina pectoris, AMI, sudden cardiac death & then chronic ischemic heart dz  
🗑
70-75% stenosis   less than this usually won't cause ischemia or sx. greater than this may cause ischemia with exertion  
🗑
cutoff for stenosis amt that will cause ischemia even at rest   90% stenosis; however even with 100% stenosis, there may not be ischemia if it's developed over time and collaterals have been created  
🗑
ACS is usually due to sudden acute plaque change that alters the degree of stenosis *   rupture, fissuring or ulcertation of atherosclerotic plaque will expose lipid core, which is highly thrombogenic  
🗑
vulnerable plaque   plaques with a thin fibrous cap and thick core that are less stable and prone to rupture  
🗑
stable angina   CP occurring with fixed amt of exertion, due to ~ 70-75% stenosis of vessel lumen. does not occur at rest but IS relieved by resting  
🗑
Prinzmetal angina   CP that occurs at rest, due to vasospasm of a vessel that can either be nl or atherosclerotic. (similar to what's seen with cocaine use)  
🗑
unstable angina   CP can occur at rest or otherwise, isn't constant, due to acute plaque change. can be reversible; known as pre-infarction angina due to possibility of progressing to MI  
🗑
critical time window with respect to AMI   if revascularized within 20-40 min, damage may be reversible; takes 3-6 hrs for completion of infarct  
🗑
layer of myocardium most typically affected during MI   subendocardial region is the last to receive blood but has high O2 demand due to amt of intramural stress it sees. expands to epicardium within 3-6 hrs  
🗑
general morphology/location of MI   most involve LV and/or interventricular septum, most commonly transmural (>50% of wall thickness) in the distribution of LAD.  
🗑
MIs are not apparent on gross tissue before 12 hrs   no reliable microscopic changes before 4 hrs, then coag necrosis starts. neutrophilic infiltrate makes yellow gross appearance. granulation tissue 7-10 days causes sunken appearance as macrophages eat tissue.  
🗑
all MIs are readily visualized dense scars after 2 months   collagen deposition starts around 10-14 days and continues for the next 6 weeks or so  
🗑
reperfusion injury   appearance microscopically is hemorrhage and contraction band necrosis (Ca++ rushed in and caused intense contraction of myocytes)  
🗑
most common complications of MI   heart failure, arrhythmias, myocardial ruptures, pericarditis, infarct expansion, mural thrombus, ventricular aneurysm, papillary muscle dysfunction  
🗑
types of myocardial rupture   free wall (hemopericardium or cardiac tamponade), interventricular septum (L-R shunt), mitral valve papillary muscle (mitral insufficiency)  
🗑
chronic ischemic dz   due to one or more past MIs, can cause heart failure. dilated and hypertrophied heart. may see fibrous scars in myocardium and subendocardial vacuolization  
🗑
most common cuases of cor pulmonale   COPD, CF or interstitial fibroses, PE, kyphoscoliosis, metabolic acidosis or hypoxia that cause arterial constriction  
🗑
causes of sudden cardiac death   aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, myocarditis, dilatory or hypertorphic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary HTN, abnormalities of conduction (long QT), coronary artery dissection, congenital artery anomalies  
🗑
