Study Notes
Manifestations and Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Disorders
- Circulatory disturbances can lead to shock, categorized as hypovolemic, cardiogenic, septic, or anaphylactic shock.
- Shock occurs when blood flow or pressure is too low to adequately supply the body with blood, potentially life-threatening.
- Prognosis of shock depends on early recognition and rapid, appropriate treatment.
- Arterial thrombosis is mainly caused by injury to the vessel wall from arteriosclerosis, leading to infarct in different arteries such as the coronary, major leg, and cerebral arteries.
- Stasis is not a factor in arterial thrombosis due to rapid blood flow and high intravascular pressure.
- Intracardiac thrombosis may dislodge into systemic circulation and cause infarction in major organs.
- Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability due to factors such as polycythemia, estrogen in contraceptive pills, hereditary gene mutations, and rise in coagulation factors following surgery or injury.
- Patients with cancer are predisposed to both arterial and venous thromboses due to hypercoagulability from the rapid release of thromboplastic materials into circulation from the tumor.
- Arteriosclerosis is a chronic and progressive degenerative disease of large to mid-sized arteries, leading to atheroma formation and eventual stenosis with turbulent flow.
- Atheromatous deposits in arteries lead to narrowing and eventual stenosis with turbulent flow, causing damage and potential clot formation.
- Risk factors for atherosclerosis include elevated blood lipids, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and genetic predisposition.
- Genetic predisposition has the largest impact on atherosclerosis, accounting for 40-60% of the risk.
