cardiovascular system diseases
atherosclerosis
Overview
arteriosclerosis
feature
Thickening, stiffening, and loss of elasticity of arterial walls
type
atherosclerosis
Mainly affected
Large and medium arteries
Lesion characteristics
Lipid in the plasma is deposited on the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, causing the formation of intimal fibrous plaques and atherosclerotic plaques, hardening the arterial walls and narrowing the lumen.
medial arterial calcification
Rarely, medium muscular arteries in the elderly, medial calcium salt deposition → may ossify
Arteriosclerosis
Diabetes, hypertension → hyaline degeneration of small arteries
Predisposed areas
Abdominal aorta>Coronary artery>Descending aorta>Carotid artery>Basic cerebral artery Circle of Willis
Etiology and pathogenesis
risk factors
Hyperlipidemia
The sustained increase in plasma LDL and VLDL levels and the decrease in HDL levels are positively correlated with the incidence of AS.
hypertension
Strong impact on blood vessel walls, endothelial damage, and changes in vessel wall metabolism
smoking
Endothelial loss, blood Co concentration, LDL oxidation
Diseases causing secondary hyperlipidemia
diabetes
hyperinsulinemia
Hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome
genetic factors
Gender, age, weight, infection, etc.
HDL in premenopausal women, low prevalence

Pathological changes
Fat lines
naked eye

under the mirror
There are a large number of foam cells FC gathered in the endothelium of the fat streaks, and the cytoplasm is vacuolated.
fibrous plaque
naked eye
It initially appears as a gray-yellow plaque raised in the intima; later, due to the increase in surface collagen and glass-like change, it becomes porcelain white, like wax droplets.

Cause
genetic and genetic factors
Overweight and obesity, high-salt diet and alcohol consumption
social psychological factors
physical activities
neuroendocrine factors
Pathogenesis
Long-term negative mental stimulation
Subcortical vasoconstrictor center predominates
Sympathetic nervous excitement
Renal vasoconstriction → renal ischemia → RAAS → blood volume ↑ → blood pressure ↑
sodium and water retention
Extracellular fluid↑, CO↑, arteriolar wall water content↑, peripheral resistance↑, arterial smooth muscle contractility↑→blood pressure↑
Types and pathological changes
Benign hypertension/progressive hypertension
installment
dysfunctional period
The basic disease is intermittent spasm of small arteries throughout the body; no organic disease; headache in the morning
arterial system disease stage
Arteriosclerosis
Hyalinization of arterioles is a characteristic morphological change of hypertension; it is found in arterioles of various organs throughout the body.
Cause
Repeated spasms → endothelial damage → plasma proteins penetrate into the endothelium and the tunica media secrete ECM from SMC → SMC apoptosis → hyaline degeneration of the wall
under the mirror
The tube wall is homogeneously red-stained, the tube wall is thickened, and the official cavity becomes smaller or even occluded.
Arteriolar sclerosis
Intimal fibrous thickening, media SMC proliferation, vessel wall thickening, and lumen stenosis
Aortic disease
May be accompanied by AS lesions
visceral disease stage
heart
Mainly manifested as left ventricular hypertrophy
Compensatory period - concentric hypertrophy Decompensation - eccentric hypertrophy, heart failure
kidney
Afferent and muscular small A sclerosis → nephron ischemia → atrophic fibrosis-granular pyknotic kidney
Primary granular pyknosis/arteriosclerosis
naked eye
Bilateral kidney symmetry decreases in size, weight, and texture becomes hard
Fine particles are evenly distributed on the surface
The cortex becomes thinner and the cortex-medullary boundary becomes blurred

Compensatory hypertrophy of peripheral relatively intact glomeruli
brain

More common in young adults, with acute onset, early onset of renal failure, and death from heart failure, uremia, and cerebral hemorrhage within 1 year.
Lesion characteristics

Rheumatism
Overview
Associated with Group A B-hemolytic Streptococcus infection
Allergy-autoimmune diseases
Mainly affects connective tissues and blood vessels throughout the body: main heart and joints; subcutaneous, brain, and blood vessels
Lesion characterized by rheumatic granuloma formation
Cause

Pathogenesis
Antigen-antibody cross-reaction mechanism
Basic lesions
Deterioration and exudation stage
Myxoid change and fibrinoid necrosis at the lesion site
With a small amount of lymph, plasma, neutrophils, and mononuclear cell infiltration
Proliferative/Granulomatous Phase
Features
Characteristic rheumatic bodies are formed on the basis of metamorphic exudation.
rheumatic body
The center is fibrinoid necrotic material, surrounded by rheumatoid cells, lymphocytes, and plasma cells
Rheumatic cells are large in size and can be single or multinucleated, with owl-eye or nematode-like nuclei.
Rheumatoid cells originate from macrophages adjacent to the lesion
Rheumatoid bodies are mainly distributed in the myocardial interstitium, subendocardium, and subcutaneous CT
fibrosis/sclerosis stage
Fibrin-like necrotic material is absorbed; rheumatoid cells → fibroblasts → produce collagen-rheumatoid body fibrosis → spindle scar
Diseases of various organs
rheumatic heart disease
rheumatic endocarditis
parts
Mainly involved heart valves: main mitral valve/mitral valve and aortic valve simultaneously
lesions
acute phase
naked eye
The valve becomes swollen, thickened, and loses its luster; the atretic edge of the valve is easily damaged → a bead-like, single-row, gray-white, translucent, wart-like excrescence is formed, as big as a millet, which is firmly adhered to the valve and is not easy to fall off.
under the mirror
Valvular collagen swelling, myxoid change, fibrinoid necrosis
The vegetation is a white thrombus composed of platelets and fibrin, with many inflammatory cells infiltrating at its base.
Typical rheumatic bodies are rare
Late stage of disease
Vegetation organization → scar → valve thickening, hardening, curling, shortening, valve leaflet adhesion → valvular heart disease
rheumatic myocarditis
Mainly involves myocardial interstitial connective tissue, especially around small blood vessels CT
lesions
