Causes of left-sided heart failure
Ischemic heart disease, hypertension, aortic and mitral valvular disease, and myocardial diseases.
If LV is not pushing out,
the pressure will back up to the right ventrical and you will get secondary RV hypertrophy
Causes of right sided heart failure
left-sided heart failure; pure right-sided failure can occur associated with cor pulmonale, pulmonary hypertension, thromboembolism, chronic hypoxia
With right sided HHD by itself or (more commonly) left sides failure with it, the right vemtrical can't pump and
get backup on anything proximal to the r.s. heart. Backup of blood, unstressed volume increases backing up all the way to capillary beds
COPD - caused by
smoking. Pulmonary hypoxia causes constriction of pulmonary arteries - right side has to work harder
The worst thing that can happen in right side failure is pulmonary embolism (
acute cor pulmonale) which puts so much stain on the heart that it goes into fibrilation and you will die instantly
Ischemic heart disease
Heart not getting enough blood for one reason or another.Cardiac myocytes aren't getting oxygen.
IHD problems can be
Pain, MI (ischemic death of myocytes), stop beating, or CIHD
Over the years, the coronary blood vessels can be constricted
Prinicipally the left anterior descending branch becomes obstructed causing angina, completely occlude, rupture and develop thrombus tha occludes
With CAD, if not complete ischemia
It is causing chronic ischemia to the heart, which causes CIHD generally leading to CHF and death by CFH. Not MI, heart simply is not getting enough oxygen.
If there is acute occlusion in heart
Necrosis of heart tissue, the surviving areas will become overworked, failure of LV, and ultimately death by CHF (if you survive the first 60 minutes)
MI for men in what age group is no longer unusual
Forties
MI annually
1.5 million
90% of MI a result of
Coronary artery thrombosis via atherosclerosis
Severity of MI depends on
Where it occurs, size of vascular bed fed by the artery, collateral blood supply,
MI Occlusion in LAD
Devastating, if right coronary artery will be less sever
Collateral blood flow
Less severe effect of infarct. Crapshoot, you don't know if you have it.
MI complicating factors
Other diseases - lung (hypoxic) , other cardiac disease
LAD, LCA, RCA
Left anterior descending, left circumflex artery, right coronary artery
If you occlude LAD get
Anterior MI on first part of the LV, tend to be most severe, can creep into the anterior septum
If you occlude circumflex
Get lateral infarction of LV
Right coronary artery
Get posterior infarct in posterior lead into posterior area of the septum
Stress
Equals catecholamines, this factor has gone out of favor in importance
Survivability of MI
Half die within the first 60 minutes. Success of reperfusion, size of infarct, location, wethere subendocardial or transmural, proper repair, bentricular remodeling

Follow bacterial visualization for diagnosis
with culture - grow on various plates
Ident culture by
morphology, Hemolysis on blood plate?, Biochemical reactions, carb util
Nucleic acid testing.
Target conserved sequences and it needs to be specific.
NA testing can
pick up organisms that grow really slowly or organisms that are very picky what they grow on…these are the preferred tests for those organisms.
Bordatella pertusis is detected by
molecular methods because it’s faster and more sensitive than doing cultures.
Antigens of surface of organism.
This is how rapid strep tests are done with throat swab. Turns purple or doesn’t turn purple. Not sensitive but can get rapid results.
Also how flu testing is done
. Antigen Can also be done from stool for Clostridium difficile testing (antibiotics associated diarrhea)
Fungi resistance
Develop slowly, because grow slowly, resistance is intrinsic
Bacterial resistance knowledge

If treat organisms with pre-existing resistance
That subset survives and everything else dies - huge proliferation advantage
If spontaneous mutation occurs when treating with antibiotics
The mutation will be selected for due to the presence of the drug.
Non-lethal dose treatment of antibiotic
Like immunization, promotes exposure that slows them down and gives chance for some mutations to occur, and selection occurs.
Tolerizing

Beta-lactamase, tet, macrolide, aminogly, SXT, other
How to create resistance?
Give sub-lethal amount of drug, (that's how it's done in the lab) not finishing course of antibiotic
Resistance develops in patients by
Wrong dosing, imcomplete antibiotic course, taking a few pills from someone else (sub-lethal)
Increased use of antibiotic
Double edged sword - works well but frequent use increases resistence
When antibiotic is really good
It's used a lot, a lot is out there, and resistence develops. That's happening to fluoroquinolones
Antibiotics in animal feed
As growth supplement, increases level of antibiotics in environment, inducing cross resistence (suspected in VRE)
When you treat a respiratory bug , for example
pathogen being treated is not the only organism exposed - all orgs in the subject
Inappropriate use of antibiotics

easily stretched under low pressure.
Veins helps
maintain a good blood volume due to their high compliance. Blood volume maint is impt for cardiac function
Most of blood in our bidies is
In the veins, they can take fluctatution in volume due to compliacne and teherefor regulate blood coming back to heart
Energy is stored in the vessel wall of arteries pushes the blood along
Aging
Know the top 6 killer (Behavior!!)
Heart disease, cancer, CV (stroke) COPD+, Accidents, diabetes
What is normotensive, BP hyper, and pre-hyper
120/80
What is hypertensive
>130/90
What is prehypertensive
>120/80 up to 130/90
Lamina w/r/t
difference
Sudden cardiac death
Usually due to prolonged systemic hypertension (chronic 140/90)
Behavioral changes to reduce hypertension
Increase K+, reduce stress, d/c tobacco, reduce alcohol
Arteriosclerosis
2 kinds
Atherosclerosis
Inflammatory repair process withiin the artery wall
Arteriolosclerosis
Occurs in small arteries, not induced by tahte___ process but by high bp. can blow out arteries in eye (hypertensive retinopathy), kidney
3 layers of muscular artery
Intima
Endothelial on basement membrane
Media
Gives the artery compliance
Adventitia
Athero
Intima & media
Endo
Produces anti____
Endothelial produce antithrombotic, pro
Like protacyclin, NO
If damaged
Endo - synth/release growth factors
Better have happy endothelium
role of endethelial cells in inflammation
Expressing cell adhesion molecules
What can injure intima
HBP, Smoking, viral infection, Type III immune complex, vasculitis, blood pressure, anything that makes it unhappy.
Intima injury
If prolonged, endo cells or plateles produce growth factors as they adhere to endo, chemotaxins attract immigration of smooth muscle cells into the intima, then replicate; Intefere with laminal blood flow
Smooth muscle immigration
Intimal thickening,
Accumulation of lipid and thickened intima
Fatty streak - the first leasion in the development of atherosclerosis. Reversible if you behave.

Heart disease exploided over the last 100 years. Genes didn't change over the last 100 years, but what did?
Behavior. look what happened to cholesterol
What do we need to change?
Our "decadent, disgusting behavior"
Heart and lung partnership
a problem with one affects the other.
CV disease cost
$433 billion plus lost productivity of $226 billion for just CV disease.
If we don't do something quickly about healthcare costs
They will flush us down the toilet.
Stressed volume
keeps the blood flowing
Unstressed volume
GIVES COMPliance and regulates total blood volume and blood flowing back to the heart
Stressed/unstressed volume quantities
300 + 400 mL; 300 + 2300 + 900 mL
Under even low pressure, the veins can
sequester large volumes of blood, whereas the arteries store energy.
The energy stored in the vessel walls moves blood along during
diastole
As we age, larger arteries
get less compliant. We need more energy to fill them up. More energy is pressure, meaning HTN. HTN is involved in
HTN is involved in
Accelerating atherosclerosis, hemoragic storkes, thrombotic storkes
Heart and lungs - jobs is to
supply enough blood to all the various tissues.
SNS and PNS give blood regulation
change re-distribution of where blood goes. (except squash and heart/lungs can't be shut down)
At all costs..
The heart needs blood, meaning adequate BP
Veins are more compliant because of the structure
more smooth muscle, int/ext elastic lamina
Large areteries: distribtuion and regulation
of BF esp in diastole
Pre-cap arterioles:
resitance - can shunt blood somewhere else, regulate BP
Many drugs regulate
the tone for the precapillary resistance vessels
Mean arterial BP -
a constant pressure involved in the delivery of blood to the tissues.
Mean Arterial Pressure
CO x TPR CO is amount of B in mL that the heart can pump in a minute; TPR is the amount of pressure it takes to pum a certain vol of blood throught the vessel.
If we knew PRE-HYPERTENSIOn as you creep up to HTN
, could intervene and stop a lot of disease
Type II diabetics that are hypertensive?
75% "even under control?"
If we knew pre-HTN, could know they're maybe
pre-diabetic,developing metabolic syndrome, accelerates atherosclerosis
Our class didn't know its BP, so societn
Doesn't know
Whati fi no health insurance?
No charge to go into HEB and check BP on your way to buy beer
If CO increases and TPR stays the same,
--> HTN
If CO increases and TPR increase
Gonzo HTN
If CO drops
BP can go lower, can go into shock
f you increase the bv to your body,
more blood will be going to the heart. Heart only has certain volume capacity per beat, heart rate increasesbecause of the incr in volume, CO increases,>>HTN
Humoral factors for BP
Constrictors (Angiotensin II, catechols, endothelin, etc) or Dilators (prostaglandin, kinins, NO)
Balance between humoral factors
Helps maintain even keeled BP
90% to 95% of HTN is
"essential" (don't know what causes it) can't define patho situation
19 year old male showing coronary lesions
Also used if you find out after the fact.
Altered target: common with the ribosomal or cell wall type.
Aorta - had
Bacterial meningitis kills quickly.
Biggies for Strep are skin and soft tissues and pharyngitis. Emperic therapy for skin and soft tissue would be for staph and strep. That’s what you’re covering.
BP damages small blood vessels (arteroloscleroisi blows kidneys)
Can foster infarct to heart
Can treat it, but don't know cause. Being overweight is one of the worst. Just lose weight to get BMI below 25. Half of overweight people would become normotensive.
Chlamydia trachomatis (most common) can lead to sterility and pelvic inflammatory disease. Usually asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic. People don’t often seek treatment. That’s why it’s recommended that all women are screened so they can be treated if they are positive. Culture has poor sensitivity so nucleic acid testing is the way to go.
CO is dependent upon total blood volume. I
Contact precautions in CSF
Disks on plate are soaked in antibiotic
Do identification of resistance mutations sometimes by molecular methods especially for MRSA (most common) also vancoresistant ___ (neuro?)cocci.
E. Coli can be in the environment as well. E.g. E. coli. Contaminated spinach comes from E. coli on the cows. Number one cause of the UTI (99%). Some E. coli can acquire virulence factors such as the hemorrhagic E. coli (GI tract) . So you can have outbreaks of that.
Efflux pump: pump in surface of cell that pumps drug out.
For a couple of the characteristic resistance factors that are epidemiologically persistent like MRSA, this is the way to look for them.
Fungi are mostly plant pathogens - immunocompromised & gardening?
Gene transfer
Genotyping is not as commonly done in bacterial infections, but occasionally is if there is epidemiological reason.
Group A streptococcus is cause of strep throat and also skin and soft tissue infections…staph infections. Strep and staph are the biggies for skin and soft tissue infection.
HIV viral load
HTN accelerate athero
HTN involved in hem and thr strokeF
HTN: Aneurisms blow in dissections
HTNYou don't know you have it!
I don’t want you to know a lot of details of these examples. You should know the highlights,, gram stains and some of the clinical things for the biggies but I’m not going to ask detailed questions.
If type II Diabetic HTN potentiates hyperglycemia
Inactivation like beta lactamase that chews up the antibiotic.
Inflamation results in accumulation of macrophages, _____ = fibrosis 9scarring) , eventually.
Inhibitors of replication also include DNA gyrase inhibitors like your fluoroquinolones.
Likewise for TB, although it is more sensitive to do cultures.
Molecular epidemiology…did they eat the same green onions from the salad bar? How they figured out various contaminated items.
Molecular epidemiology…is this organism in this patient the same as the patient in the next bed. Did the nurse not wash her hands or did they both eat the same food. Investigate source of infection (if the infection come from the same source)
Neisseria meningitis. A type of bacterial meningitis. It’s very contagious and very virulent. You would give antibiotics immediately in ER before you do a lumbar puncture because they might die in hours. When you do spinal tap, you might have killed enough of organisms that you can’t grow anything (Might have to do molecular testing if that is the case)
Not looking at organism itself, or find out after the fact.
Numbers are the milliseconds it takes to transmit the signal
Porin mutation that keeps drug from coming in.
Post infectious complications: Rheumatic fever after Group A strep infections.
Pseudomonas: kind of an environmental water bug. Has numerous ways to be resistant
Resistance develops under the pressure of antibiotics. Can be passed between bacteria.
Resistance genes are detected by molecular methods. It is these genes (pass around or inherited) that produce the changed cell wall feature or changed ribosome or that pump that allow organism to be resistant. Resistance is developed under the pressure of antibiotics.
Resistance mechanisms. Methicillin resistance. The MecA gene for MRSA. For VRE (Vancomycin resistant enterococci. That doesn’t work for a lot of because organisms have all kinds of ways to be resistant to antibiotics.
For a couple of the characteristic resistance factors that are epidemiologically persistent like MRSA, this is the way to look for them.
See the textbook
Skin and soft tissue infections are the biggies for staph aureus. Can be resistant to all classes beta lactams, particularly MRSA. Culture is typical diagnosis.
Target cell wall - because we don't have one
The major differ in gram pos/neg is why the drugs are so different
The remainder could use less drugs, and these drugs have side effects.
Tray (each well has a different concentration of the antibiotics) MIC is concentration where you can’t see growth anymore. It’s clear, not turbid.
You can do rapid diagnosis using nucleic acid amplification from a direct specimen. Often done for TB. Otherwise it could take weeks to diagnose. You need to trace contacts of patient and put patient in isolation.
You can use molecular methods to identify and characterize culture isolates. Sometimes something weird will grow. Send off to lab for sequencing. Lab will identify the organism.
You’re looking for the response mounted against the organism. You’re not looking for the organism itself (ideal way).
Zone is clear area where antibiotic has diffused away from the disk and is inhibiting the growth of the organism.
