Study Notes
Clinical Manifestations of Atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular Manifestations
- Angina Pectoris: chest pain or discomfort due to myocardial ischemia
- Myocardial Infarction (MI): heart attack due to complete blockage of a coronary artery
- Heart Failure: inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs
Cerebrovascular Manifestations
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): temporary neurological symptoms due to temporary blockage of a cerebral artery
- Ischemic Stroke: permanent neurological damage due to complete blockage of a cerebral artery
- Vascular Dementia: cognitive decline due to chronic cerebral hypoperfusion
Peripheral Arterial Manifestations
- Intermittent Claudication: leg pain or cramping due to inadequate blood flow to the legs
- Critical Limb Ischemia: severe leg pain at rest, often leading to tissue damage and gangrene
Renal Manifestations
- Renal Artery Stenosis: narrowing of the renal arteries, leading to hypertension and kidney damage
- Chronic Kidney Disease: gradual loss of kidney function due to chronic hypoperfusion
Other Manifestations
- Aortic Aneurysm: enlargement of the aorta, which can lead to rupture
- Mesenteric Ischemia: inadequate blood flow to the intestines, leading to abdominal pain and bowel infarction
- Erectile Dysfunction: impotence due to inadequate blood flow to the penis
