pathophys 4: circulatory and lymphatic system

the bodily system associated with blood and disease prevention in the vessels.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)

OVERPRODUCTION OF IMMAtURE LYPHOID CELLS IN THE BONE MARROW AND LYMPH NODES

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

rapidly progressive neoplasm of cells committed to the myeloid line of development

severe

Anemia

a reduction in the quantity of RBC/hemoglboin

Aneurysm

local dilation of the artery caused by a weak artery

angina pectoris

chest pain due to ischemia

arrhythimas

deviation from the normal heartbeat; irregular heart beat

arteriosclerosis

hardening of the arteries

asystole

flatline

atherosclerosis

buildup of plaque in the artery wall

Buerger's

inflammation of the peripheral arteries and veins of the extremities with clot formation

cardiac arrest

cessation of cardiac activity due to anoxia (absence of oxygen) or interruption of the electrical stimuli to the heart

Cardiac Tamponade/compression

compression of the myocardium and restriction of heart movement caused by blood or fluid trapped in the pericardial sac

Cardiogenic Shock

Caused by inadequate function of the heart or pump failure

cardiomyopathy

noninflammatory disease of the cardiac muscle resulting in enlargement of the myocardium and ventricle malfunciton

Chronic Lymphocytcic Leukemia (CLL)

accumulation of mature yet malfunctioned lymphocytes

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)

excess mature yet hypofuncitonal neutrophils

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

inability of the heart to pump enough blood

cor pumonale

right-sided heart diseases (enlargment of the right ventricle)

CPR

cardiopulmonary resusciation

Disseminated Intravasuclar Coagulation

simultaneous hemorrage and thrombosis

dyspnea

Difficult and labored breathing

edema

swelling of body

Emboli

clotsof blood that can lodge in a vessel and inhibit blood flow

endocarditis

inflammation of the inside lining of the heart chambers and heart valves

essential/primary hypertension

abnormally high blood pressure (BP)

Hemophillia

hereditary bleeding disorder from deficiency of clotting factor

hemorrhage

blood loss

Hodgkin's

cancer of the body's lymphatic system

hypoxia

low amount of inadequate supply of O2

ischemia

restriction in blood supply

leukemia

malignant neoplasms of the blood-forming organs (bone marrow

Lymphangitis

inflammation of the lymph vessels

Lymphedmea

abnormal collection of lymph

lymphoma

malignant neoplasms that arise from uncontrolled proliferation of the cellular components of lymph system

lyphatic system

composed of lymphatic vessels

malignant hypertension

severe form of hypertension

mitral insufficiency

causes backflow of blood into the left atrium due to incomplete closure of valve

mitral stenosis

-narrowing of openining in mitral valve that impeeds blood flow from the LA to LV

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP)

one or more of the cusps protrudes back into the left atrium during contraction

myocardial infarcation

death of myocardial tissue due to development of ischemia (heart attack)

myocarditis

inflammation of the muscular walls of the heart

neoplasm

abnormal mass of tissue

Non-Hodgkin's

no Reed stern-berg cell . cancer of lymph tissue

palpitations

A sensation of rapid or irregular beating of the heart.

pericarditis

inflammation of the pericardium (serosa)

phlebitis

inflammation of a vein(most of the time in the lower legs)

polycythemia

A disorder characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood

pulmonary edema

fluid shift into the spaces of the lungs

Raynaud's

vasopastic condition of the fingers

rheumatic fever

inflammatory and autoimmune disease of the joints and cardiac tissue

rheumatic heart diesease

cardiac problems which follow rheumatic fever

sepsis

body has a severe response to bacteria or other germs

shock

collapse of the CV system

tachycardia

Abnormally rapid heartbeat greater than 100 beats/minute.

thrombocytopenia

any disorder in which there is an abnormally low amount of platelets

thrombophlebitis

inflammation of a vein with the formation of a thrombus on the the vessel wall

thrombus

blood clot

varicose veins

swollen

venous stasis

condition of slow blood flow in the veins
