    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular Disease

    • The main cause of ischemic necrosis in cells is inadequate blood supply.

    Atherosclerosis

    • Atherosclerotic lesions are predominantly found in the intimal layer of large and medium-sized arteries.
    • Fatty streaks develop into fibrous plaques over time.
    • Fibrous plaques consist of lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue.
    • Atherosclerosis can lead to ischemic necrosis, heart attack, and stroke.

    Nicotine and Blood Flow

    • Nicotine in tobacco reduces blood flow.

    Carbon Monoxide

    • Carbon monoxide reduces oxygen delivery to tissues in the body.

    Diabetes and PAD

    • Diabetes increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD).

    Inflammation

    • C-reactive protein is a sensitive marker of cardiovascular inflammation.

    Homocysteine

    • Hyperhomocysteinemia has been positively correlated with cardiovascular disease in some studies.
    • Homocysteine promotes coagulation by promoting thrombin formation.
    • Homocysteine inhibits protein C activation.
    • Homocysteine alters the binding of lipoprotein(a) in fibrin.
    • Folic acid and vitamin B12 reduce serum homocysteine levels.
    • Reducing serum homocysteine levels using folic acid and vitamin B12 reduces adverse cardiovascular events.

    Arterial Disease

    • Arteriosclerosis is a diffuse process affecting the intima of large and medium-sized arteries.
    • Atherosclerosis involves the accumulation of lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue on the intimal layer of the artery.
    • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a generalized disease of the arteries, usually present elsewhere in the body when it is present in the extremities.
    • Ischemic malnutrition and subsequent fibrosis of organs supplied by sclerotic arteries is a consequence of atherosclerosis.

    Circulation

    • Collateral circulation is the development of new blood vessels to compensate for blocked arteries.

    Miscellaneous

    • The main components of fibrous plaques are lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue.
    • The accumulations on the intimal layer of the artery are referred to as plaques.
    • The key difference between arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis is the accumulation of substances on the intimal layer in atherosclerosis.
