what is the mechanism of small vessel injury in diabetes?
non-enzymatic glycosylation renders vessels permeable to probein --> gives hyalinization and narrows lumen

ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
what is underlying pathology of syphilitic lesions?
vasculitis (all of syphilis is vasculitis) treponeme infects vaso vasora

where do most hypertensive ruptures occur in brain?
in branches from middle cerebral artery
concentric hypertrophy is caused by what?
increased after-load
dilated hypertrophy is caused by what?
increased preload (volume overload)
what causes and S3 heart sound?
occurs in early diastole, so it must be caused by volume overload
S4 heart sound is caused by what?
occurs in late diastole --> problem with compliance (atrium encountering a problem filling the ventricle)
what abnormal heart sound is found in hypertension?
S4
all right sided heart murmurs and abnormal heart sounds increase in intensity during what?
