Inherited hypercoagulable disorders

Risk Factors for Venous Thrombosis

8

~inflammatory damage
~mechanical injury
~hypoxia

A

ALTERED VESSELS

9
Q

-clotting factors ( increased factors VII, VIII, XI)
-hematologic disorders
-**Malignancy
Vasculitic/proinflammatory disorders
-Disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC)

A

Acquired hypercoagulable states

Risk Factors for Venous Thrombosis

10
Q
SOB, acute versus gradual
Diminished exercise capacity
chest pain
syncope
cardiac arrest/death
A

Pulmonary embolism (PE)

11
Q

-impaired venous return with blood flow
edema develops due to increased hydrostatic pressure, pain present

  • blood flow through alternative routes leads to dilated superficial veins
  • redness and warmth of the affected area
A

Venous thrombosis-Limb

12
Q

~immobility
~paralysis
~reduced flow states

A

VENOUS STASIS

13
Q

Blood work for DVT concerns

A
  • elevated D-Dimer*

- Negative D-Dimer rules out thrombosis

14
Q

Acquired hypercoagulable states

A
  • clotting factors ( increased factors VII, VIII, XI)
  • hematologic disorders
  • **Malignancy
  • Vasculitic/proinflammatory disorders
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC)
15
Q

Inherited hypercoagulable disorders

A
  • Factor V Leiden
  • Prothrombin gene mutation
  • Protein C deficiency
  • Protein S deficiency
  • Antithrombin deficiency
16
Q

~inflammatory stimuli

~consumption of endogenous anticoagulants

A

ALTERED COAGULABILITY

17
Q

ALTERED VESSELS
ALTERED COAGULABILITY

A

Virchow’s Triad

18
Q

Treatment for acute clot is:_____

A

heparin/tPA

19
Q

_____ used to prevent additional clots

A

Warfarin

20
Q

Strongest risk factor for clot?

A

Malignancy

21
Q

D-dimers can only be formed when crosslinked fibrin has been degraded by plasmin through ______.

A

fibrinolysis

22
Q

Do blood clots form in the lung?

A

Nope, they travel there

23
Q

For arterial thrombi, in the acute setting, heparin (to prevent further clot formation) and a fibrinolytic
agent such as______(to lyse the existing clot) are indicated

A

tPA

24
Q

D-dimers can only be formed when crosslinked fibrin has been degraded by _____through fibrinolysis.

A

plasmin

25
Q

Warfarin acts by inhibiting the activity of ______dependent enzymes (Factors II, VII, IX, X, Protein C, Protein S)

A

vitamin K

26
Q

thrombus can break off and travel through major veins, right heart into pulmonary artery until it becomes lodged

A

PE

27
Q

Blood flow through pulmonary artery is impaired by thrombus, Lung tissue past thrombus cannot participate in gas exchange, tissue can:

A

infarct (Pulmonary infarct)

28
Q

Warfarin acts by inhibiting the activity of vitamin K dependent enzymes (Factors ____________)

A

II, VII, IX, X, Protein C, Protein S

29
Q

Increased pulmonary vascular resistance can lead to_______

A

right ventricular dysfunction

30
Q

Increased airway resistance d/t bronchoconstriction

A

Decreased pulmonary compliance

in PE

31
Q

If clot burden is high ( saddle embolus-both PA affected)->

A

32
Q

33
Q

Warfarin______ treat the acute clot-do not give alone for acute event!

A

does NOT

34
Q

Reduction of vitamin K by warfarin dependent factors takes at least____ days regardless of INR

A

4-5

35
Q

Due to an autosomal dominant mutation of the factor V gene that leads to partial resistance to inactivation through proteolytic cleavage by protein C.

A

Factor V Leiden (Activated Protein C Resistance)

36
Q

vitamin K-dependent plasma protein that, when activated, inactivates factors Va and VIIIa to inhibit coagulation.
Deficiency is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.

A

Protein C Deficiency

37
Q

vitamin K-dependent plasma protein that facilitates the anticoagulant activity of activated protein C. As with protein C, deficiency is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
