Rheumatic fever
post group a strep
5-15 yr olds
antigen/antibody
Major criteria for RF
Carditis
Erythema marginatum
Polyarthritis
Sydenham chorea
Subcutaneous nodules
Minor criteria for RF
fever
arthalgia
c-reactive protein
prolonged PR invterval
C-3 complement
alpha1 anitrypsin
ceruloplasmin
Chronic RF due to
1st attack is early in childhood
1st bout of rheumatic fever is severe
have recurrent attacks
Valvular involvement with RF
mostly mitral valve
can lead to deformation and scarring--permanent dysfunction--chronic rheumatic heart diseas--CHF
Changes secondary to Mitral valve stenosis
LVH, RVH, CHF
Gross for RF
chronic vavle disease
clacification deep in leaflets
Micro for RF
Aschoff nodules
Antischkow myocyte
Acute pericarditis forms
Serous
Fibrinous and serofibrinous
Purluent
Serous acute pericarditis
slow accumulation of fluid
secondary to non-bacterial involvement
Fibrinous and serofibrinous acute pericarditis
most common
seen with MI
produce friction rub
uremia with renal failure
Purulent
secondary to bacteria, fungus, or parasite
gram + staph, strep, and pneumonocci
can get constrictive pericarditis
Acute pericariditis hemorrhagic
most often follows cardiac surgery or associated with TB or malignancy
Caseous AP
secondary to TB
get fibrocalcific constrictive pericarditis
Chronic pericarditis
healing of acute lesions causes pericardial fibrosis which varies from thick, nonadherent epicardial plaque to thin, delicate adhesions, to massive adhesions
Adhesive mediastinopericarditis
pericardial sac is obliterated and the parietal surface is tethered to mediastinal tissue which results in hypertrophy and dilation
Constrictive pericarditis most common cause
TB
Dilated cardiomyopathy
gradual four chamber hypertrophy and dilation
Slow, progressive CHF
Causes for dilated cardiomyopathy
Unknown
genetic defect
alcohl
peripartum
postviral myocarditis
Gross finding of dilated cardiomyopathy
cardiomegaly
mural thrombi
mild to moderate endocardial thickening
Micro changes of dilated cardiomyopathy
some have diffuse mycocyte hypertrophy and intersitial fibrosis
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
heavy, muscular, hypercontractile heart with poor diatstolic relaxation
young adults
at risk for sudden death
Gross findings of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
thickened basal septum which can lead to valve problems
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
restriction of ventricular fillings
decreased cardiac output
interstitial fibrosis
peripheral eosinophilia
Two types of restrictive cardiomyopathy
hemochromatosis
amyloidosis
Gross findings for myocarditis
resembles dilated cardiomyopathy
flabby ventricles
mural thrombi
post acute stage has residual dilatation or hypertrophy with small areas of interstitial fibrosis
Micros findings of myocarditis
mysocyte necrosis or degeneration
"Aschoff nodules"
lymphoma (indicates viral)
Cardiotoxic agents
produces myofiber swelling, fatty changes and indiviual cell lysis
Iron overload
dilated pattern
hemosiderin depostis
Amyloidosis
may be part of systemic disease
isolated
arrhythmias or restricitive physiology
Catecholamines
tachycardia
diffuse, patchy ischemic necrosis

cocaine may have a similar effect
Benign histo
well formed vascular channels lined with endothelial cells
Malignant histo
poorly formed cascular channels with solid, anaplastic endothelial proliferation
Hemangioma
common seen often in kids
Capillary hemangioma
small, seen mostly in skin or mucous membranes some in vicera
Juvenile capillary hemangioma
aka strawberry, present at birth, rapidly grow for a few months, then regress and disappear around 7yr
Cavernous hemangioma
1-2cm found in skin, mucou membranes, liver, CNS and other vicera
Pyogenic granuloma hemangioma
often secondary to trauma, seen in gingiva in pregnant women and regress after delivery
Glomus tumor
benign, but extremely painful, tumor of smooth muscle cells, found beneath nail beds, very tiny
Nevus flammeus
birth mark, aka port wine if on face or neck
grows with child but most regress with age
Vascular ectasia
abnormally prominent capillaries, venules, and arterioles in skin or mucous membranes
Nevus flammeus
birth mark, port wine if on face or neck, grows with child but most regress with age
Sturge-Weber syndrome
facial port-wine lesion, with associated leptomeningeal angiomatous masses, metal retardation, seizures, hemiplegia, and skull radiopacities
Spider telangiectasis
minute focal subcutaneous arterioles found in hyper estrogenic states such as pregnancy and cirrhosis
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
rare, presents with epistaxis, hempotysis, GI or GU bleeding and gets worse with age
Bacillary angiomatosis
potenially fatal infectious disease secondary to rickettsia-like bacteria.
Bad news for immunocompromised like AIDS
Simple lyphangioma
head, neck, axillary subcutaneous tissue, 1-2 cm nodules, histo looks like hemangioma but NO BLOOD CELLS
Cystic hygroma
hard to resect, as large as 15cm, hist looks like cavernous hemagnioma but NO BLOOD CELLS
Hemangoendothelioma
Hard to excise, recur can look like metastatic carcinoma, melanom, or sarcoma
Kaposi Sarcoma
chronic/classic/European
elderly men of eastern European or mediterranean descent, with red to pruple plaques and nodules on LE, rarely leads to death
Kaposi Sarcoma
Lyphadenopahtic/African
younger men, red to pruple plaques and nodules mainly in lymph nodes, aggressisve
Kaposi Sarcoma
Transplant
red to pruple plaques and nodules in patients on immunosuppressive thereapy, goes away when therapy is over
Kaposi Sarcoma
AIDS associated
more common in homosexuals, lesions occur in skin, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, GI tract, and vicscera (big deal)
