Evolution of arterial wall changes in the response to injury hypothesis Schematic diagram of hypothetical sequence of cellular interactions in atherosclerosis • The response to injury hypothesis(损伤应答学说), considers atherosclerosis to be a chronic inflammatory response of the arterial wall initiated by injury to the endothelium. • Moreover, lesion progression is sustained by interaction between modified lipoproteins(脂源性学说), monocyte-derived macrophages, T lymphocytes, and the normal cellular constituents of the arterial wall. • • 脂质代谢障碍 高脂血症→脂蛋白(尤其β脂蛋白)↑→进入动脉内膜下沉积。 • • • • • • 动脉内膜损伤 内膜通透性增高→脂蛋白进入增多 内膜损伤因素: 1.高血压 2.吸烟 3.血管活性物质 Hypothetical sequence of cellular interactions in atherosclerosis • Chronic endothelial injury内皮细胞损伤, usually subtle, with resultant endothelial dysfunction, yielding increased permeability, leukocyte adhesion, and thrombotic potential Accumulation of lipoproteins, mainly LDL, with its high cholesterol content, in the vessel wall 血脂异常 • Modification of lesional lipoproteins by oxidation 脂蛋白氧化修 饰ox-LDL • Adhesion of blood monocytes (and other leukocytes) to the endothelium, followed by their migration into the intima and their transformation into macrophages and foam cells 泡沫细 胞 • Adhesion of platelets血小板黏附 • Release of factors from activated platelets, macrophages, or vascular cells that cause migration of SMCs 平滑肌细胞迁徙 from media into the intima • Proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the intima, and elaboration of extracellular matrix, leading to the accumulation of collagen and proteoglycans • Enhanced accumulation of lipids both within cells (macrophages and SMCs) and extracellularly.

Gross views of atherosclerosis in the aorta • In the characteristic distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in humans the abdominal aorta 腹主动脉瘤is usually much more involved than the thoracic aorta, • and lesions tend to be much more prominent around the origins (ostia) of major branches. Atherosclerotic plaques have three principal components: • (1) cells, including SMCs, macrophages, and other leukocytes; • (2) ECM, including collagen, elastic fibers, and proteoglycans; • (3) intracellular and extracellular lipid. • These components occur in varying proportions and configurations in different lesions. The advanced lesion并发症 of atherosclerosis: • 斑块破裂 Focal rupture, ulceration, or erosion of the luminal surface of atheromatous plaques may result in exposure of highly thrombogenic substances that induce thrombus formation or discharge of debris into the bloodstream, producing microemboli composed of lesion contents (cholesterol emboli or atheroemboli). • 斑块内出血 Hemorrhage into a plaque, especially in the coronary arteries, may be initiated by rupture of either the overlying fibrous cap or the thin-walled capillaries that vascularize the plaque. A contained hematoma may expand the plaque or induce plaque rupture. • 血栓形成 Superimposed thrombosis, the most feared complication, usually occurs on disrupted lesions (those with rupture, ulceration, erosion, or hemorrhage) and may partially or completely occlude the lumen. • 动脉瘤 Aneurysmal dilation may result from ATH-induced atrophy of the underlying media, with loss of elastic tissue, causing weakness and potential rupture. • 血管腔狭窄 • 钙化 View of the base of the brain, dissected to show the circle of Willis with an aneurysm of the anterior cerebral artery Dissected circle of Willis to show large aneurysm Common sites of saccular (berry) aneurysms in the circle of Willis Role of Acute Plaque Change.

Estimated 10-year risk of coronary artery disease according to various combinations of risk factor levels The clinical manifestations of IHD can be divided into four syndromes: 1 Myocardial infarction (MI), the most important form of IHD, in which the duration and severity of ischemia is sufficient to cause death of heart muscle. 2 Angina pectoris, in which the ischemia is less severe and does not cause death of cardiac muscle. Of the three variants--stable angina, Prinzmetal angina, unstable angina-the latter is the most threatening as a frequent harbinger预兆 of MI. 3 Chronic IHD with heart failure. 4 Sudden cardiac death. • • • • • • • • • 冠心病的临床病理类型 (1)心绞痛 冠状动脉供血相对不足,发生急性暂时性心肌缺血缺氧的临床综合征。 (2)心肌梗死 冠状动脉供血绝对性不足,心肌持续性缺血缺氧,导致较大范围的心肌坏死。 发生原因: ⑴冠状动脉粥样硬化合并血栓形成或斑块内出血。 ⑵冠状动脉痉挛。 ⑶在冠状动脉粥样硬化的基础上,由于过度负荷,造成心肌供血不足 Pathogenesis • The dominant influence in the causation of the IHD syndromes is diminished coronary perfusion relative to myocardial demand, • owing largely to a complex and dynamic interaction among: • • • • fixed atherosclerotic narrowing of the epicardial coronary arteries, intraluminal thrombosis overlying a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque, platelet aggregation, and vasospasm.

Prinzmetal variant angina • An uncommon pattern of episodic angina that occurs at rest and is due to coronary artery spasm. Unstable angina • Refers to a pattern of pain that occurs with progressively increasing frequency, is precipitated with progressively less effort, often occurs at rest休息, and tends to be of more prolonged duration. • In most patients, unstable angina is induced by disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque with superimposed partial (mural) thrombosis and possibly embolization or vasospasm (or both). In the typical case of MI, the following sequence of events can be proposed: • The initial event is a sudden change in the morphology of an atheromatous plaque, that is, disruption-manifest as intraplaque hemorrhage, erosion or ulceration, or rupture or fissuring. • Exposed to subendothelial collagen and necrotic plaque contents, platelets undergo adhesion, aggregation, activation, and release of potent aggregators including thromboxane A2, serotonin, and platelet factors 3 and 4. • Vasospasm is stimulated by platelet aggregation and the release of mediators. • Other mediators activate the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, adding to the bulk of the thrombus. • Frequently within minutes, the thrombus evolves to completely occlude the lumen of the coronary vessel.

The precise location, size, and specific morphologic features of an acute myocardial infarct depend on: • The location, severity, and rate of development of coronary atherosclerotic obstructions • The size of the vascular bed perfused by the obstructed vessels • The duration of the occlusion • The metabolic/oxygen needs of the myocardium at risk • The extent of collateral blood vessels • The presence, site, and severity of coronary arterial spasm • Other factors, such as alterations in blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac rhythm. 冠状动脉粥样硬化:占95% 最常见左前降支、其次右主干、再其次左旋支。斑块病变多发生于血管 的心壁侧,呈新月形,使管腔呈偏心性狭窄。 • 左前降支 Left anterior descending coronary artery (40% to 50%): infarct involves anterior wall of left ventricle near apex; anterior portion of ventricular septum; apex circumferentially • 右冠 Right coronary artery (30% to 40%): infarct involves inferior/posterior wall of left ventricle; posterior portion of ventricular septum; inferior/posterior right ventricular free wall in some cases • 左旋支 Left circumflex coronary artery (15% to 20%): infarct involves lateral wall of left ventricle except at apex Schematic representation of the progression of myocardial necrosis after coronary artery occlusion • Subendocardial myocardial infarction 心内膜下 心肌梗死 • Circumferential infarction 环状梗死 • Transmural myocardial infarction 透壁性心 肌梗死 Acute myocardial infarct • 肉眼所见:梗死灶形状不规则呈 地图状,其颜色随梗死时间而变 化。梗死后6小时颜色苍白,9时 土黄色,4天充血带,2-3周边红 色,5周灰白色。 • 镜检:凝固性坏死,边缘充血和 中性粒细胞浸润。 One-day-old infarct showing coagulative necrosis along with wavy fibers (elongated and narrow), compared with adjacent normal fibers (at right).

Hypertension • 人体体循环动脉血压持续升高,称为高血压。我 国规定标准:成年人血压,在安静休息状态下, 收缩压超过140mmHg(18.4 kpa),舒张压超过 90 mmHg(12.0 kpa),即为高血压。 • Hypertension 140mmHg/90mmHg • Secondary/ Symptomatic hypertension • Primary/Essential hypertension 5-10% (3大原因:肾性/血管性/内分泌性) 发病因素 • Genetic predisposition • Salt sensitivity • Stress The critical roles of cardiac output and peripheral resistance in blood pressure regulation Blood pressure regulation by the renin-angiotensin system and the central roles of sodium metabolism in specific causes of inherited and acquired forms of hypertension Hypothetical scheme for the pathogenesis of essential hypertension, implicating genetic defects in renal excretion of sodium, functional regulation of vascular tone, and structural regulation of vascular caliber. Environmental factors, especially increased salt intake, may potentiate the effects of genetic factors. The resultant increases in cardiac output and peripheral resistance contribute to hypertension. The minimal criteria for the diagnosis of systemic HHD are the following: • (1) left ventricular hypertrophy (usually concentric) in the absence of other cardiovascular pathology that might have induced it • (2) a history or pathologic evidence of hypertension. • 1 Chronic/Benign hypertension • 2 Accelerated/malignant hypertension • 3 Hypertensive heart disease Chronic/benign hypertension 1 机能紊乱期—细小动脉痉挛 2 动脉系统病变期 Arteriolosclerosis/细动脉玻璃样变—肾入球动脉和视网膜动脉 3 内脏病变期(大心小肾脑出血) HHD:concentric hypertrophy/eccentric hypertrophy Arteriolar nephrosclerosis/Primary granulo-contracted kidney Hypertensive encephalopathy/Hypertensive crisis /Softening of brain(microinfarct)/Microaneurysm 良性高血压病的病变特点 • 又称缓进型高血压病。起病缓慢,呈慢性经过,病程可长 达10-20年,其病理过程分三期: • 机能改变期(一期)全身细、小动脉痉挛→血压↑。无器 质性改变。 • 动脉系统病变期(二期) • 1.细动脉:动脉痉挛→动脉壁玻璃样变→细动脉硬化 • 2.小动脉:动脉痉挛→中膜平滑肌增生、肥大,胶原弹 性纤维增加。内膜平滑肌增生,产生胶原和弹性纤维→小 动脉硬化。 • 3.弹力肌型及弹力型动脉:可伴发粥样硬化病变。 器官病变期(三期) • 1.心脏 左室代偿性向心性肥大→左室失代偿性肌源性扩张→心力衰竭。 • • • • • • 2.肾脏 原发性颗粒性固缩肾→肾功能不全→尿毒症。 肉眼:肾体积缩小、变硬,表面均匀细颗粒状。 镜检: (1)部分肾入球、出球细动脉玻璃样变,引起肾小球玻璃样变和纤维化。 (2)部分肾单位代偿性肥大和扩大。 (3)间质纤维化和淋巴细胞浸润。 • • • 3.脑 脑出血和脑软化 (1)脑出血:最严重的并发症常致死。出血常位于基底节、内囊。 出血区脑组织被破坏,呈囊腔状,囊内为坏死和凝血块,出血量多时,破入侧脑室, 常昏迷死亡。 出血灶累及内囊时,发生对侧肢体偏瘫和感觉消失。 脑出血机理:细小动脉硬化血压突升致血管破裂;多发性细小动脉瘤破裂性出血;豆 纹动脉从大脑中动脉直角分支承受高压而破裂。 (2)脑软化:缺血性小灶性坏死。一般无严重后果。 • • • Vascular pathology in hypertension Hypertensive heart disease with marked concentric thickening of the left ventricular wall causing reduction in lumen size Accelerated/malignant hypertension • • • • • Young 230/130mmHg Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis Necrotizing arteriolitis(内膜中膜纤维素样坏死) Renal failure(1年) • 恶性高血压病的病变特点 • 又称急进型高血压病。病程短,进展迅速,多数 一年内死亡。 • 其病变特点为: • 1.细动脉纤维素样坏死+血浆内渗→动脉壁极度增 厚,动脉腔狭窄 肾小球毛细血管节段性坏死→血 压明显增高。 • 2.小动脉增生性动脉内膜炎→闭塞性动脉内膜炎 →动脉腔高度狭窄→血压明显上升。 • 死亡原因:尿毒症、脑出血、心力衰竭。 Chronic cor pulmonale 4.

They are most distinctive within the heart, where they are called Aschoff bodies. • They consist of foci of swollen eosinophilic collagen surrounded by lymphocytes (primarily T cells), occasional plasma cells, and plump macrophages called Anitschkow cells. • These distinctive cells have abundant cytoplasm and central roundto-ovoid nuclei in which the chromatin is disposed in a central, slender, wavy ribbon (hence the designation "caterpillar cells"). • Some of the larger macrophages become multinucleated to form Aschoff giant cells.

INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS (IE) ABE/SBE • Acute Infective endocarditis/ acute bacterial endocarditis, ABE • Subacute Infective endocarditis/subacute bacterial endocarditis, SBE • Infective endocarditis, one of the most serious of all infections, is characterized by colonization or invasion of the heart valves or the mural endocardium by a microbe, leading to the formation of bulky, friable vegetations composed of thrombotic debris and organisms, often associated with destruction of the underlying cardiac tissues. ABE/SBE区别 • Acute endocarditis describes a destructive, tumultuous infection, frequently of a previously normal heart valve, with a highly virulent organism, that leads to death within days to weeks of more than 50% of patients despite antibiotics and surgery. • In contrast, organisms of low virulence can cause infection in a previously abnormal heart, particularly on deformed valves. In such cases, the disease may appear insidiously and, even untreated, pursue a protracted course of weeks to months (subacute endocarditis). Most patients with subacute IE recover after appropriate antibiotic therapy. Infective (bacterial) endocarditis. A, Endocarditis of mitral valve (subacute, caused by Strep. viridans). The large, friable vegetations are denoted by arrows. B, Acute endocarditis of congenitally bicuspid aortic valve (caused by Staph. aureus) with extensive cuspal destruction and ring abscess (arrow). C, Histologic appearance of vegetation of endocarditis with extensive acute inflammatory cells and fibrin. Bacterial organisms were demonstrated by tissue Gram stain. D, Healed endocarditis, demonstrating mitral valvular destruction but no active vegetations. Morphology. • In both the subacute and acute forms of the disease, friable, bulky, and potentially destructive vegetations containing fibrin, inflammatory cells, and bacteria or other organisms are present on the heart valves. • Osler小结-皮下小动脉炎 • Systemic emboli may occur at any time because of the friable nature of the vegetations, and they may cause infarcts in the brain, kidneys, myocardium, and other tissues. • Because the embolic fragments contain large numbers of virulent organisms, abscesses often develop at the sites of such infarcts (septic infarcts). Four major forms of vegetative endocarditis. The rheumatic fever phase of RHD (rheumatic heart disease) is marked by a row of small, warty vegetations along the lines of closure of the valve leaflets. IE (infective endocarditis) is characterized by large, irregular masses on the valve cusps that can extend onto the chordae. NBTE (nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis) typically exhibits small, bland vegetations, usually attached at the line of closure. One or many may be present. LSE (Libman-Sacks endocarditis) has small or medium-sized vegetations on either or both sides of the valve leaflets. Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) Complications of artificial heart valves 7. Chronic valvular vitium of the heart • Vavular stenosis • Valvular insufficiency • Stenosis is the failure of a valve to open completely, thereby impeding forward flow. • Insufficiency, in contrast, results from failure of a valve to close completely, thereby allowing reversed flow. • Aortic stenosis: calcification of anatomically normal and congenitally bicuspid aortic valves. • Aortic insufficiency: dilation of the ascending aorta, related to hypertension and aging. • Mitral stenosis: rheumatic heart disease. • Mitral insufficiency: myxomatous degeneration (mitral valve prolapse).

Normal contraction of the sarcomere involves myosin-actin interaction initiated by calcium binding to troponin C, I, and T and α-tropomyosin. Actin stimulates ATPase activity in the myosin head and produces force along the actin filaments. Myocyte-binding protein C modulates contraction. Pathways of dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 9. Myocarditis • Viral Myocarditis • Bacterial Myocarditis • Isolated Myocarditis Major Causes of Myocarditis Infections • Viruses (e.g., coxsackievirus, ECHO, influenza, HIV, cytomegalovirus) • Chlamydiae (e.g., C. psittaci) • Rickettsiae (e.g., R. typhi, typhus fever) • Bacteria (e.g., Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Neisseria meningococcus, Borrelia (Lyme disease) • Fungi (e.g., Candida) • Protozoa (e.g., Trypanosoma Chagas disease, toxoplasmosis) • Helminths (e.g., trichinosis) Immune-Mediated Reactions • Postviral • Poststreptococcal (rheumatic fever) • Systemic lupus erythematosus • Drug hypersensitivity (e.g., methyldopa , sulfonamides) • Transplant rejection Unknown • Sarcoidosis • Giant cell myocarditis Lymphocytic myocarditis, with mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate and associated myocyte injury Hypersensitivity myocarditis, characterized by interstitial inflammatory infiltrate composed largely of eosinophils and mononuclear inflammatory cells, predominantly localized to perivascular and large interstitial spaces. This form of myocarditis is associated with drug hypersensitivity Giant cell myocarditis, with mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate containing lymphocytes and macrophages, extensive loss of muscle, and multinucleated giant cells The myocarditis of Chagas disease. A myofiber is distended with trypanosomes锥形虫 (arrow). There is a surrounding inflammatory reaction and individual myofiber necrosis. 10.
