Heart Failure Pathophysiology Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: One complication of _____ is high-output heart failure due to formation of AV shunts in bone

Answer: Paget disease of bone

Flashcard 2: Tigered effect in myocardium is due to _____ change

Answer: fatty

Flashcard 3: Reperfused myocardium shows _____ contraction bands on light microscopy.

Answer: eosinophilic

Flashcard 4: The heart is maximally softened _____ to 10 days post-MI

Answer: 7

Flashcard 5: In myocardial infarction, early neutrophil infiltration starts by _____ hours.

Answer: 12-24 hours

Extra: **Myocardial Infarction: Morphologic Changes Timeline** * **0-4 hours:** No gross changes; minimal microscopic changes (wavy fibers). * **4-12 hours:** Early coagulative necrosis, edema, hemorrhage. * **12-24 hours:** Ongoing coagulative necrosis; marginal contraction band necrosis; **beginning of neutrophilic infiltrate**. * **1-3 days:** Extensive coagulative necrosis; **brisk neutrophilic infiltrate**. * **3-7 days:** Macrophage infiltration at margins; phagocytosis of dead cells. * **7-10 days:** Well-developed phagocytosis; early granulation tissue at margins. * **10-14 days:** Well-established granulation tissue with new blood vessels and collagen deposition. * **2-8 weeks:** Increased collagen deposition and decreased vascularity (scarring). * **>2 months:** Dense collagenous scar.
