Glomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER The glomerular-capillaries can trap blood-borne Ab & Ag-Ab complexes - Causes: PRIMARY: infection, drugs, toxins, vascular disorders, ischemia, immunologic responses, free radicals. SECONDARY: DM, CHF, HIV, Lupus Triggering event (infection)- Ag-Ab complex formation & deposition in glomerulus- Activation of complement system & WBC infiltration- Glomerular injury & leakage- Proteinuria/hematuria- edema, increase creat, azotemia, oliguria OR after glomerular injury & leakage- Coagulation cascade activation & FIbrin deposition- Decreased capillary perfusion- decreased GFR- edema, increase creat, azotemia, oliguria S1 - CORRECT ANSWER -Closing of mitral and tricuspid valve - Beginning of systole S2 - CORRECT ANSWER - Closure of the aortic and pulmonic valve - End of systole Valvular stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER the valve orifice is constricted and narrowed, impeding the forward flow of blood and increasing the workload of the cardiac chamber proximal to the diseased valve. Intraventricular or atrial pressure increases in the chamber to overcome resistance to flow through the valve. Increased pressure causes the myocardium to work harder, causing myocardial hypertrophy. Aortic stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER - LV hypertrophy - L heart failure - Pulmonary edema - Exertional dyspnea -Syncope -Angina pectoris - Systolic murmur Mitral Stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER - LA hypertrophy -R ventricular failure - Pulmonary edema - Orthopnea - Respiratory infections - PH -Edema -Atypical chest pain - Diastolic murmur Stroke volume - CORRECT ANSWER The volume of blood ejected per bear during systole Cor Pulmonale - CORRECT ANSWER right ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension Cardiac output - CORRECT ANSWER HR x SV -Normal= 5Lpm -Preload, afterload, contractility, heart rate Preload - CORRECT ANSWER The volume inside the ventricle at the end of diastole Determined by: - Amount of venous blood returning to the ventricle during diastole - The amount of blood in the ventricle after systole Afterload - CORRECT ANSWER The resistance to ejection of blood from the ventricle total peripheral resistance (TPR) Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) Contractility - CORRECT ANSWER sympathetic nervous system, epi and norepi) + inotropes Acetylcholine released from vagus nerve - inotrope Cytokines released during sepsis impair contractility O2 < 50% decreased contractility Troponin - CORRECT ANSWER Relaxing protein Troponin T- aids in binding the troponin complex to actin and tropomyosin Troponin I- Inhibits the ATPhase of actomyosin Troponin C- Binding sites for the calcium ions involved in contraction. I & T and released into the blood during myocardial injury calcium binding and troponin - CORRECT ANSWER In resting muscle the myosin-binding sites are covered by troponin and tropomyosin. The calcium ions released into the sarcoplasm as a result of the action potential bind to the troponin. This binding causes the tropomyosin and troponin to move out of the way of the myosin-binding sites, leaving the myosin heads free to bind to the actin microfilament. Macrophages - CORRECT ANSWER -Phagocytic cells
