|
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
|
|
This is defined as a rapid hemorrhage into the pericardial cavity which restricts dilation of the heart chambers and (especially) hinders filling of the right atrium because of pressure effects on the vena cavae

|
thrombocytopenia

|
What are some key factors that differentiate active and passive hyperemia?
|
Active hyperemia is the engorgement of the arterial vessels, it results from increased arterial blood flow to a tissue or portion of a tissue and is actively mediated by the autonomic nervous system or by vasoactive substances released or activated locally in the affected area.
Venous engorgement in some settings may be partly a consequence of active hyperemia, but basically is a passive phenomenon in which the veins and venules become distended with blood because of impedance of venous drainage. |
