Study Notes
Heart Anatomy and Function
- The left ventricle appears larger in autopsy findings
- Reduced ejection fraction and stroke volume of the heart are caused by myocardial infarction
Myocardial Infarction
- The center of a myocardial infarction appears yellow-white in autopsy findings
- Myocardial infarction is caused by atherosclerosis
- Irreversible myocardial injury resulting in necrosis of a significant portion of myocardium is termed "coagulative necrosis"
- Characteristic feature of a recent myocardial infarction is a yellow-white center
- Myocardial infarction can cause mural thrombus formation in an aneurysm, leading to embolism
Cardiovascular Disease
- Periodontitis is a potential source of chronic inflammation linked to the development of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
- Atherosclerosis is the main cause of myocardial infarction
- Atherosclerosis is characterized by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries
- The coronary arteries are the most affected by atherosclerosis
- Periodontitis is a major public health concern due to its link to cardiovascular disease
Dental Considerations
- Patients with cardiovascular disease are a challenge for dental therapy
- Recommended approach to dental treatment for patients with a history of myocardial infarction involves careful consideration
- Risk factors for patients that dentists should take care of include cardiovascular disease and periodontitis
Arteriosclerosis
- Hyaline arteriolosclerosis is characterized by major hyaline deposits in the tunica media, resulting in both hardening of the arteriole and decreased lumen size
- Hyaline arteriolosclerosis is the most common type of arteriosclerosis
- The most common site for hyaline arteriolosclerosis is the kidney
