|
Major risk factors for atherosclerosis
|
Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, diabetes
|
|
Most common sites for atherosclerosis
|
Abdominal aorta followed by coronary arteries
|
|
Complications of atherosclerosis
|
Ischemic heart disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral vascular disease (pain, pulselessness, paresthesia, claudication), TIA (vertebral basilar oclussion), renovascular hypertension (high renin).
|
|
Pathophysiology of essential hypertension
|
Retention of sodium and water with increase in stroke volume (systolic pressure). Sodium in smooth muscle opens up calcium channels with vasoconstriction of arterioles (increased diastolic pressure). Low renin hypertension.
|
|
Complications of hypertension
|
Concentric ventricular hypertrophy, AMI, hyaline arteriosclerosis, nephrosclerosis and CRF, intracranial bleeds, athersoclerosis
|
|
Renovascular hypertension
|
Atherosclerosis of renal artery orifice in males or fibromuscular hyperplasia in women. Severe hypertension, epigastric bruit. High renin hypertension. Screen with captopril.
|
|
Captopril screening test for renovascular hypertension
|
In renovascular hypertension there's decreased RPF and high levels of renin and angiotensin II. With captopril (ACE inhibitor), there's loss of negative feedback on renin and exagerated high levels of renin post-stimulation. The test has the potential for renal failure if bilateral renal artery stenosis is present as AII is responsible for maintaining renal blood flow.
|
|
Ahterosclerotic aneurysms
|
MC site is abdominal aorta below renal arteries (no vasa vasorum). Pulsitile mass with pain and abdominal bruit
|
|

|
Phlebothrombosis is venous thrombosis of deep veins without inflamation or infection. Thrombophlebitis is venous thrombosis of superficial veins due to inflamation and infection
