Hosa Pathophysiology
(Circulatory/Blood vessels/ Lymphatic)
18 Questions and Answers 2023-20245
ischemia - ✅restriction in blood supply
atherosclerosis - ✅buildup of plaque in the artery wall
arteriosclerosis - ✅hardening of the arteries
angina pectoris - ✅chest pain due to ischemia
myocardial infarcation- ✅death of myocardial tissue due to development of
ischemia (heart attack)
thrombus - ✅blood clot
cardiac arrest - ✅cessation of cardiac activity due to anoxia (absence of oxygen) or
interruption of the electrical stimuli to the heart
hypoxia - ✅low amount of inadequate supply of O2
asystole - ✅flatline, is a state of no cardiac electrical activity, hence no contractions
of the myocardium
CPR - ✅cardiopulmonaryresusciation
essential/primary hypertension - ✅abnormally high blood pressure (BP)
malignant hypertension - ✅severe form of hypertension
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) - ✅inability of the heart to pump enough blood
edema- ✅swelling of body
corpumonale- ✅right-sided heart diseases (enlargment of the right ventricle)
pulmonary edema- ✅fluid shift into the spaces of the lungs
cardiomyopathy - ✅noninflammatory disease of the cardiac muscle resulting in
enlargement of the myocardium and ventricle malfunciton
