- NOTE: -The heart serves as a mechanical pump to supply the
entire body with blood, both providing nutrients and removing waste
products. -The great vessels exit the base of the heart. -Blood
flow: bodyvena cavaright atrium right ventriclelungsleft atriumleft
ventriclebody -The heart consists of 3 layers the endocardium,
myocardium, and epicardium. The epicardium (bottom left) consists
of arteries, veins, nerves, connective tissue, and variable amounts
of fat. -The myocardium contains branching, striated muscle cells
with centrally located nuclei. They are connected by intercalated
disks (arrowheads).

- Cardiovascular practical Block 1-Atheroma of aorta
- Slide 5
- These three aortas demonstrate mild, moderate, and severe
atherosclerosis from bottom to top. At the bottom, the mild
atherosclerosis shows only scattered lipid plaques. The aorta in
the middle shows many more larger plaques. The severe
atherosclerosis in the aorta at the top shows extensive ulceration
in the plaques. The major risk factors are hyperlipidemia,
hypertension, cigarette smoking and diabetes Complications are
thrombosis, hemorrhage, calcifications and aneurysmal dilatation
with the distal ischemic events.
- Slide 6
- This is severe atherosclerosis of the aorta in which the
atheromatous plaques have undergone ulceration along with formation
of overlying mural thrombus.

- CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS

- Slide 12
- ATHEROMATOUS PLAQUE WITH CHOLESTEROL CLEFTS
- Slide 13
- Coronary atherosclerosis: Cross section of a coronary artery
shows: Partial occlusion of the lumen by an atheromatous plaque.
The plaque consists of cholesterol clefts, hyaline fibrous tissue
and some blood capillaries. The internal elastic lamina is thin and
fragmented. Pressure atrophy of the media opposition atheromatous
plaque.
- Slide 14
- Cardiovascular practical Block 3-Aneurysm of abdominal
aorta
- Slide 15
- Here is an example of an atherosclerotic aneurysm of the aorta
in which a large "bulge" appears just above the aortic
bifurcation.
- Slide 16
- Aneurysmal dilatation of lower aorta with rupture, intraluminal
thrombus and Extensive aortic atherosclerosis.
- Slide 17
- The most likely causes of aneurysms are atherosclerosis
mycotic, syphilitic and congenital
- Slide 18
- Cardiovascular practical Block 4-Myocardial infarction
- Slide 19
- Complications that might occur: arrhythmias ventricular
aneurysm rupture of myocardium, cardiac tamponade.
- Slide 20
- Myocardial infarction Cross section of the left and right
ventricles shows a pale and irregular focal fibrosis in the left
ventricular wall with increased thickness. right ventricles left
ventricles
- Slide 21
- MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (LATE STAGE)
- Slide 22
- Myocardial infarction: Section of myocardial shows: Patchy
coagulative necrosis of myocardial fibers. The dead muscle fibers
are structure less and hyaline with loss of nuclei and striations.
Chronic ischemic fibrous scar replacing dead myocardial fibers. The
remaining myocardial fibers show enlarged nuclei due to ventricular
hypertrophy.
- Slide 23
- Cardiovascular practical Block 5-Left ventricular
hypertrophy
- Slide 24
- Heart from a hypertensive patient. The left ventricle is very
thick (over 2 cm). However the rest of the heart is fairly normal
in size as is typical for hypertensive heart disease. The
hypertension creates a greater pressure load on the heart to induce
the hypertrophy
- Slide 25
- In cross section, this view of the heart shows the left
ventricle in the center left of the picture. The heart is from a
severe hypertensive. The left ventricle is grossly thickened. The
myocardial fibers have undergone hypertrophy.
- Slide 26
- Heart, left ventricular hypertrophy Heart, normal
- Slide 27
- Cardiovascular practical Block 6-Vegetations of rheumatic fever
on mitral and aortic valves
- Slide 28
- The small verrucous vegetations seen along the closure line of
this mitral valve are associated with acute rheumatic fever. These
warty vegetations average only a few millimeters and form along the
line of valve closure over areas of endocardial inflammation. Such
verrucae are too small to cause serious cardiac problems.
- Slide 29
- Vegetations of rheumatic fever on aortic valve
- Slide 30
- RHEUMATIC VALVULITIS (HEART)
- Slide 31
- Slide 32
- Rheumatic valvulitis: Section of fragments of endocardial valve
shows: Irregular endocardial surface, no endocardial lining and
focal fibrin deposits. The valve is thickened by dense hyalinized
fibrous tissue with vascularization and chronic inflammatory cell
infiltrate

- Cardiovascular practical Block 7-Acute rheumatic
myocarditis
- Slide 34
- Cardiovascular Block
- Slide 35
- RHEUMATIC MYOCARDIITIS (ASHOFF NODULE)
- Slide 36
- Acute rheumatic myocarditis: Section of cardiac muscle shows:
Aschoff bodies in the intermuscular fibrous septa. They are oval in
shape and seen in relation to blood vessels. Each consists of a
focus of fibrinoid necrosis, few lymphocytes, macrophages and few
small giant cells with one or several nuclei (Aschoff giant
cell).
