Advanced Pathophysiology Questions and
Verified Answers 100% Correct (Grade A )-
Wilkes
What is the most common valve disease that is often seen in young women? - correct -
answer Mitral valve prolapse
You examine a patient and notice a widened pulse pressure and throbbing peripheral
pulses. What is the cause of these findings? - correct - answer Aortic regurgitation
Widened pulse pressure d/t increased stroke volume and diastolic backflow
Large stroke volume causes prominent carotid pulsation + bounding peripheral pulses
(Corrigan pulse)
,What do elevated trop levels indicate for both diagnostic purposes and what is taking
place at the cellular level to cause an increase in this lab value? - correct - answer
Diagnostic: MI
MI caused by prolonged, unrelieved ischemia that interrupts blood supply to the
myocardium -> after 20 min of MI -> irreversible hypoxic injury -> cellular death and
tissue necrosis
Myocyte injury: cardiac muscle cells contain trop in their cytoplasm -> when damaged/
die -> cell membranes rupture -> trop released into bloodstream
Cardiac injury/ cardiac muscle damage
You are reviewing the pathology and autopsy report on a patient that died from MI.
What would you expect to see? - correct - answer An aggregation of platelets w.
atherosclerotic coronary artery
, As you examine a patient with a long hx of peripheral vascular disease, you see
persistent edema in the lower extremities and hyperpigmentation. What is the cause of
the hyperpigmentation? - correct - answer Chronic venous insufficiency
A genetically determined hypersensitivity to common environmental allergens causes
_______ reactions, such as: - correct - answer atopic; urticaria.
Leukemia is most common in? - correct - answer Children
PVD includes: - correct - answer Buerger disease and Raynaud phenomenon
Impairs blood flow from left ventricle to aorta: - correct - answer aortic stenosis
Valve opening constricted and narrowed: - correct - answer stenosis.
Blood moves backward into the chamber from where it came from: - correct - answer
regurgitation
