what 3 things help is make the MI dx
1. Sx: chest pain, dyspnea, angina, radiates to neck, jaw, L arm (not seen in DM, HTN, elderly)

2. EKG change: st elevation, T inversion

3. Enzymes: CK-MB, Troponin I
what are the labs to draw for MI? what is fast, what lasts longer
1. CKMB- released really fast! peak at 24 hrs, normal by 72

2. Troponin I- remain elevated for 4-7 days
if a guys had an MI 3 days ago will you look at CK MB or cTnI
cTnI- it stays elevated longer

CKBM stays elevated for a day
what 4 things cause poor prognosis for MI
1. DM
2. Female
3. Old
4. Previous MI
you are are an old DM female who survived an MI last year what is likely
you wont survive another

four things with poor outcome

female, old, DM, previous MI
what is the most common trpe of rupture, when is it most likely to happen after an MI
vent free wall? leads to hemapericardium and tampanode
**if you dont have hypertrophy you will more likely rupture, not a nice thick wall

**rupture will occur at 3-7 days, macro have come in and eaten the junk out
what happens whn papillary mm rupture
mitral regurg

**rupture will occur at about 3-7 days, macro have some in and cleard the junk out and make it weak

we know that being an old, DM woman who had a previous is BAD for prognosis
1. Infarct size
2. infarct location- apex is bad
3. transmural extent
CIHD (chronic ischemic heart disease) affects what age group, what is the clinical hx, what is the morphology

**also called ischemic cardiomyopathy, insidious onself of CHF as a result of ischemic damage
who will get an insidious development of CHF as a result of ischemic damage (ie CIHD)
old ppl who have had an MI or CABG

they will have a large heart with LV hypertrophy and dilation
what is sudden cardiac death
what is the ultimate mech od death?
death within an hour

lethal arrythemia eventually kills you but can innitiate bc of IHD, myopathy or a whole list of others
know these

angina
ruptures
DVT
PE
R and L heart failure
Age of MI- know in words, micro pic
HNT heart
Valves

**know all of these things

Pics:
aortic aneurism
liver
angina: chest pain. stable unstable
rupture:
DVT
PE
R/L Heart failure
Age of MI
HTN heart
Valves
what are the minimum criteris for dx systemic HTN heart disease, waht does it look like
MUST have concentric L vent hypertrophy and HTN

**hypertrophy is adaptive but leads to: MI dysfx, sudden death, dilation, CHF
the heart with hypertensive disease that has not been decompensated looks like what
L vent pressure overload concentric hypertrophy- circumferential hypertrophy, no dilation

- the heart is stiff and diastolic filling is decreased

**when it get dilated the heart has decompensated
when is concentric hypertrophy seen
in pressure overload, hypertensive heart disease

huge LV, looks like a donut
in systemic hypertensive heart disease what happens if we decrease BP
variable results, may regress
pulmonary HTN is called what?
cor pulmonea

R sided hypertensive heart disease

**seen when pulm HTN due to lungs/pulm vasculature NOT right sided hypertrophy due to Left dises heart disease
what are the 2 types of cor pulmonale
1. Acute: RV dilation due to PE

2. Chronic: RV hypertrophy/dilation 2 to prolonged pressure overload caused by pulm a obstruction COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis
what are the 4 things that predispose us to cor pulmonale
disease of lung tissue itself
disease of pulm vessels
disorders the affect chest movement
dirorders that cause pulm arterial constriction
what are some things that cause chronic pulmonary hypertensive disease
COPD
Emphysema
Chronic Bronchitis

**in this case the increased pressure in the lungs will cause R vent hypertrophy with dilation if the heart decompensates
Which of the following problems in not correctly matched
with it’s corresponding heart morphology


– Pressure overloaded ventricles – concentric hypertrophy
– Volume overloaded ventricles – ventricular dilation
– Heart hypertrophy – hyperplasia of myocytes
– Systemic hypertensive heart disease – ventricular dilation
– Systemic hypertensive heart diseases – left atrium dilation
hyperplasia, we know heart will only hypertrophy
what is valvular stenosis?

what is valvular insuffiency
valve wont open completly

regurg, valve wont close completly

**can see pure or mixed stenosis or insifficency
what are 2 causes of regurgitation
1. Damage to supporting structure/ Functional: valve isnt closing bc the ventricle is dilated

2. Intrinsic Disease
what are the 4 most common valve dysfunction and what causes them
1. Mitral Stenosis- rheumatic fever (diastolic murmur with opening snap)

2. Mitral Insuffiency- mitral valve prolapse (myxomatous degeneration- change in ECM) (holosystolic murmur)

3. Aortic Stenosis: Calcification of normal or bicuspid valve (systolic murmur, crescendo) MOST COMMON

4. Aortic Insifficiency- dilation of ascending aorta, due to HTN /age (immediate diastolic whistle murmur)
whats it associated with?

AAA
dilation
artherosclerosis

HTN

2. Mitral Annular calcificaiton
3. calcific stenosis of congenitally bicuspid aortic valve
what causes

2. dilation of ascending aorta, due to age/HTN
3. rheumatic fever
4. myxomatous degeneration
what are the 2 types of calcific aortic stenosis, whats more common
most common valve abnormality (systolic crescendo/decrescendo)

1. senile calcific arortic stenosis- more common, seen in old ppl

2. Calcification on congenitally bicuspid aorta
2.
what is senile calcific aortic stenosis? wat does it look like
the common stenosis you get bc your old and have calcium deposit on your valves

heaps on nodular masses of calcium within sinuses of Valsalva at the base no commissure fusion
whats the differentce btwn an aortic valve that calcifies normally (senile stenosis) and one that calcifies bc its bicuspid
normal- occurs later in life

congenital- occurs early
what happens when you have aortic stenosis
hard to get blood throuh, L vent hypertrophy- concentric

**angina, syncopre, increased risk of sudden cardiac death, eventual decompensation and CHF
wht anatomical cahnge in the heart is associated with mitral valve prolapse
myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve

**also ppl with marfans or ehlers danlos

**midsystolic click with murmur
WHO is at risk for MVP
marfan
ehlers danlos
family hx
its a myxomatous degenearation
what are the serious complications of MVP
its rare to have complications but they are:
infective endocarditis
mitral sufficiency
arrhythemia
stroke of systemic infarct that form on valve

Endocardium: fibrinoid necrosis with small vegetations
what is standard practivce when tx Theumatic fever
prophylatic AB long term
what are the features of chronic rheumatic heart disease
valves become fibrotic over time

**rheumatic fever leads to mitral stenosis mostly, sometimes aortic
**looks like fishmouth stenosis
when might one see fishmouth stenosis
mitral stenosis caused by rheumatic fever--- chronic rheumatic heart disease

**this picture will be on the test!!!
we know rheumatic fever can lead to mitral stenosis, what IS rheumatic fever (aortic is also involed someitmes)
GABHS can cause it 4-5 weeks after throat infection if not tx with AB

**its an immune inflammartory disease that can cause chronic rheumatic heart disease (mitral stenosis)

**the AB made form the strep infection self react with things in ouur joints- joint pain
where are aschoff bodies
in the myocardium of someone with acute pancarditis caused by Rheumatic fever

Myocardium: aschoff bodies
Pericardium- fibrinous pericarditis
Endo- fibrinoid necrosis with vegetations
47‐year‐old woman has noted increasing dyspnea for the past 6 years. A
chest radiograph shows an enlarged cardiac silhouette and bilateral

morphologic feature would you see in the removed
stenotic valve?
• Myxomatous degeneration
• Aschoff bodies
• Vegetations
• Calcifications
• Fibrinous pericarditis
calcium

Myxamatous is associated with MVP
Aschoff Bodies as associated with rheumatic fever

The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office calls to
inform you that they are investigating the sudden
deathof one of your patients. The patient in
question was a 55 year old black woman who had
been followed for many years in the hypertension
clinic. Work‐up at various times had revealed no
evidence of renal disease or endocrine
abnormalities. On a recent office visit, her BP was
measured as 190/10
A few months ago, she was briefly admitted
to a hospital after she awakened at night
feeling short of breath. Review of hospital
notes from that admission shows that she
had mild ankle edema, basilar rales and
hepatomegaly on initial evaluation. A ches
x‐ray showed cardiomegaly and slight atrial
enlargement. An EKG confirmed left
ventricular hypertrophy Laboratory studies y at that time suggested slight
hepatic damage; serial cardiac serum markers were
negative for MI, Over the last few years, there had
been a steady rise in her serum BUN and creatinine.
The medical examiner relates that the patient
complained of sudden, severe, sharp chest pain and
collapsed at her husband’s softball gameShe was taken to a hospital, where she was
noted to be hypotensive with unequal pulses.
A chest x‐ray revealed a left pleural effusion
and a widened mediastinum. An autopsy is
being done to determine whether she died
from some catastrophic vascular event related
to her hypertension. We see hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis, some hyaline arteriolosclerosis, concentric LV hypertrophy and ultimatly we see...
aortic dissection


HTN with hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis

Abd Aneurysm would be with artherosclerosis
70 year old man was brought to the hospital for
evaluation of chest pain. He described feeling
weak and dizzy after a walk around the block the
morning of his admission. This episode of
dizziness was followed by 10‐15 minutes of chest
pain that quickly resolved when he rested. He also
described a two month history of similar but
shorter episodes of chest pain and dizziness after
working in his yard. He had been told several
years ago that he had a slight heart murmur, but
had not been evaluated further.Physical signs and auscultation suggested aortic
valve narrowing. His lungs were clear to
auscultation. A chest radiograph showed an
enlarged heart and a vague area of calcification at
the base of the heart in the region of the aortic
valve. Cardiac enzymes and other lab tests were
normal. An EKG showed atrial fibrillation and
LVH. His valve was replaced and he did well for
several years. He than began to have signs and
symptoms of aortic regurgitation.
aortic calcification
L vent hypertrophy
A ten year old child was brought to a pediatrician
for a mild sore throat. The pediatrician noticed
some redness, swabbed the throat, tested for
group A Streptococci in the office, sent the blood
for anti‐streptolysis O titer, and prescribed
treatment. Three weeks later the child returned
with fever, painful swelling of the knee joints
followed by pain and swelling of the elbow joints.
The physical exam revealed a pericardial friction
rub and a murmur suggestive of mitral
regurgitation. The anti‐streptolysin O titer was
elevated over the previous value.The patient recovered and did well over the next
several decades. In her thirties the patent began
to have dyspnea on exertion, which slowly
increased in severity in her forties. In the months
prior to her initial hospital admission she had
awakened feeling short of breath. There was one
fainting spell followed by and episode with
temporary loss of vision in one eye. On admission
to the hospital she was very short of breath and
had coughed up some blood‐tinged sputum. The
physical exam and other lab tests suggested
narrowin of the mitral valve orifice.Atrial fibrillation was present. X‐ray of the chest
showed an enlarged left atrium and pulmonary
edema. Cardiac surgery was offered but she
refused. She was treated medically for several
days and discharged feeling better but with some
residual limitation of cardiac function. The week
before her second admission she went to a
dentist because of tooth pain and underwent a
dental extraction. She returned to the hospital
with high spiking fevers and overt signs and
symptoms of heart failure
as 10 yo- aschoff bodies in myocardium

stenotic mitral valve
aortic stenosis
**both valves lead to LV hypertrophy and artial enlargement
what are heart ffailure cells
hemosiderin laden macro in the lungs
