Media of aorta – an elastic artery
![Page 10: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Atherosclerosis Disease of large and medium sized arteries
(elastic and muscular), particularly:– aorta, iliac, coronary, popliteal, carotid, circle of
Willis Develop intimal lesions called atheromas or
atheromatous plaques which:– protrude into the lumen resulting in stenosis
(narrowing of lumen) and possibly occlusion (lumen blocked)
– can weaken the underlying media, possibly leading to aneurysm formation
![Page 11: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Atherosclerosis - risk factors
Hyperlipidemia– high LDL
– low HDL Hypertension Smoking Diabetes
Age Male gender Family history/
genetics
Other: physical inactivity, diet, obesity etc.
![Page 12: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Atherosclerosis - pathogenesis Chronic endothelial injury* resulting in endothelial dysfunction
– increased permeability – increased adhesion of leukocytes (monocytes and
lymphocytes) and platelets – accumulation of lipids in intima
Migration of monocytes into intima leading to formation of foam cells (lipid-laden macrophages)
Release of cytokines and growth factors result in smooth muscle cell migration into intima, proliferation of smooth muscle cells, deposition of extracellular matrix (e.g. collagen)
* From hemodynamic forces, hyperlipidemia, HTN, smoking etc.

Atherosclerosis - major consequences
Symptomatic disease most often affects the heart, brain, kidneys and lower extremities– Heart: angina and myocardial infarction– Brain: cerebral infarction (stroke)– Aorta (particularly abdominal):
» Aneurysms» Stenosis of ostia of major branches leading to visceral
ischemia
– Lower extremities: peripheral vascular (arterial) disease – claudication, gangrene

Coronary artery atherosclerosis affects the epicardial arteries; tends to be more
pronounced in the proximal portion of these vessels can involve 1, 2 or all 3 of the main vessels +/- their
large branches if degree of obstruction is significant, can result in
angina (pain from myocardial ischemia) an atherosclerotic plaque can become unstable (acute
plaque lesion):– intraplaque hemorrhage– plaque rupture or erosion resulting in thrombosis
acute plaque lesions can result in an “acute coronary syndrome” (unstable angina, myocardial infarct)

Cardiomyopathy - definition
Heterogenous group of diseases of the myocardium associated with mechanical or electrical dysfunction that usually (but not invariably) exhibit inappropriate ventricular hypertrophy or dilation and are due to a variety of causes that frequently are genetic.
Cardiomyopathies are either confined to the heart or are part of generalized systemic disorders often leading to cardiovascular death or progressive heart failure related disability.
Circulation 2006 113:1807-1816

Cardiomyopathy types(clinical/functional/morphologic patterns)
Dilated (DCM) – 90% Hypertrophic (HCM) Restrictive
![Page 79: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Primary cardiomyopathy (confined to the heart) - etiology
Genetic– e.g. HCM, ARVC, mitochondrial defects,
channelopathies (e.g. LQTS)
Acquired– e.g. due to myocarditis (inflammation of the
myocardium)
Mixed Idiopathic
![Page 80: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Secondary cardiomyopathy (part of generalized systemic disorder) – examples of etiologies
Amyloidosis Hemochromatosis Sarcoidosis Medication/Toxin induced - e.g. cancer chemotherapy,
alcoholism Autoimmune diseases - e.g. SLE, rheumatoid arthritis Infections Endocrine disorders - e.g. hypothyroidism Neuromuscular diseases - e.g. muscular dystrophies Storage diseases - e.g. glycogen storage disease Nutritional deficiencies - e.g. thiamine

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy
Primary myocardial abnormality NO SIGNIFICANT:
– coronary artery disease– valve disease– systemic arterial hypertension– systemic disorder, history of toxin exposure
etc.

DCM - clinical presentation
Progressive heart failure– systolic dysfunction– 4 chamber dilatation– hypokinesis
Arrhythmias Thromboembolism Sudden death
![Page 88: Cardiovascular Pathology (modification of Dr. Veinot’s presentation)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56813e31550346895da8164f/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Familial (genetic) DCM
About 30 % of DCM Often asymptomatic LV dilatation at
detection - minority progress Examples:
– muscular dystrophy– mitochondrial defects - maternal inheritance– inherited metabolic disorders

Cardiomyopathy – genetic abnormalities
Dilated - cytoskeletal elements largely affected
dystrophin - X-linked, some muscular dystrophies
lamin desmin actin etc…
mitochondrial genes
Hypertrophic - contractile elements affected (sarcomeric genes)
myosin troponin tropomyosin myosin binding protein C etc…
