Study Notes
Hypertension Etiology
- Responsible for 5-10% of diagnosed hypertension
- Caused by pre-existing conditions like congestive heart failure
Programmed Cell Death
- A normal component of multicellular organism development and health
Cell Swelling and Rupture
- Characterized by cell swelling and rupture of internal organelles
Vascular Disease
- A primary vascular disease causing temporary spasm of small arteries and arterioles
Vascular Disease Etiology
- Enlarged veins, potentially skin or dark purple/blue colored
- Composed of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), macrophages, smooth muscle cells, and platelets
Cardiac Pain
- Severe chest pain from inadequate oxygen supply to myocardial cells
Myocardial Cell Death
- Death of myocardial cells due to prolonged oxygen deprivation
Angina
- A type of angina, unrelieved by rest and typically disappearing within 5 minutes
Acute Coronary Syndrome
- A type of acute coronary syndrome, involving heart attack, more frequent at rest, and/or unresponsive to treatment
Dysplasia
- Considered a pre-cancerous condition
Apoptosis vs. Necrosis
- Apoptosis is a regulated process
- Apoptosis differs from necrosis in that it causes less inflammation than necrosis
