Study Notes
Pathophysiology of Thrombosis, Embolism, and Infarction
- Thrombosis can lead to vessel obstruction, embolization, dissolution, or organization and recanalization
- An embolus is a detached, intravascular mass that can cause partial or complete vascular occlusion and ischemic necrosis
- Most pulmonary emboli originate from deep leg vein thrombi and can lead to sudden death or right ventricular failure
- Systemic thromboembolism primarily arises from intracardial mural thrombi or aortic aneurysms
- Air embolism can occur during obstetric procedures or chest wall injury, leading to pleural rupture
- Amniotic fluid embolism is a complication of labor caused by entry of amniotic fluid into the maternal circulation
- Fat embolism, often found after long bone fractures, can lead to pulmonary insufficiency and neurologic syndromes
- Infarcts are areas of ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of arterial supply or venous drainage
- Infarcts can be red (hemorrhagic) or white (anemic), and may be septic or bland
- The dominant histologic characteristic of infarction is ischemic coagulative necrosis, except in the brain where liquefactive necrosis occurs
- Factors influencing infarct development include vascular supply, rate of occlusion development, and vulnerability to hypoxia
- Shock is the final common pathway for potentially lethal events and results in systemic hypoperfusion, with the brain and heart being the most sensitive organs.
Cardiovascular Pathology Overview
- Infectious vasculitis involves invasion of vascular walls by microbial agents, leading to nodular, proliferating immune-mediated vasculitis like Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN).
- Tumors of blood vessels include benign variants like hemangioma, lymphangioma, and glomangioma, as well as intermediate-grade tumors like Kaposi Sarcoma and malignant tumors like Angiosarcoma.
- Congenital heart disease encompasses abnormalities of the heart or greater vessels present at birth, with causes including congenital infections and genetic factors, divided into three major groups based on their effects.
- Left-to-right shunt congenital heart defects, such as septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus, initially cause left-to-right shunt due to low pressures in pulmonary circulation, leading to increased pulmonary blood flow and right ventricular hypertrophy.
- Left-to-right shunt defects can progress to pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy, causing a reverse flow and resulting in cyanosis.
- Right-to-left shunt defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, lead to cyanosis because poorly oxygenated blood enters the systemic circulation, bypassing the pulmonary circulation.
- Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), can affect the left side, right side, or both sides of the heart, with common causes including Ischemic Heart Disease and systemic hypertension.
- Left-sided heart failure is characterized by hypertrophy, dilation, fibrosis, and extracardiac lesions, leading to symptoms like dyspnea, cardiomegaly, and tachycardia.
- Right-sided heart failure is most commonly caused by left ventricular failure, leading to systemic and portal venous congestion, peripheral edema, and pleural effusion.
- Ischemic heart disease is prevalent in human medicine and is often due to obstructive atherosclerotic disease, leading to clinical syndromes like angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, chronic IHD, and sudden cardiac death.
- Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, results from necrosis of heart muscle due to ischemia, often caused by acute coronary artery thrombosis, leading to irreversible ultrastructural changes and myocyte death.
- Ischemia also contributes to arrhythmias and results in a decrease in ATP production, accumulation of noxious breakdown products, and loss of contractility within minutes.
Congenital Heart Defects and Diseases
- Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) and Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) are examples of septal defects in congenital heart disease
- Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy can lead to reverse flow and cyanosis in left to right shunt defects
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus allows blood flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery during intrauterine life
- Cyanosis, caused by poorly oxygenated blood entering systemic circulation, is a common feature of right to left shunt defects
- Tetralogy of Fallot is characterized by cyanosis and obstruction to the right ventricular outflow tract
- Four factors contribute to right to left shunt in Tetralogy of Fallot: VSD, obstruction to RV outflow tract, aorta overriding VSD, and RV hypertrophy
- Stenotic pulmonary artery causes obstruction due to narrowing and thickening of the right ventricle
- Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), can result from inadequate cardiac output or increased congestion of venous circulation
- Left-sided heart failure is commonly caused by ischemic heart disease, systemic hypertension, or valvular disease
- Myocardial infarction, a result of ischemic heart disease, is characterized by necrosis, fibrosis, and inflammation
- Dilated cardiomyopathy can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse, and other factors
- Right-sided heart failure is often due to left ventricular failure, pulmonary hypertensive diseases, or pulmonary valvular disease, leading to systemic and portal venous congestion
