Cardiovascular Pathology
The heart is the first organ to form in the embryo. In mammalians and birds it consists of 4 chambers (2 atria and 2 ventricles). The systemic circulation returns non-oxygenated blood to the right atrium via the vena cava, passes to the right ventricle and from here is pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary (pulmonic) arteries. The oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary ve...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor from Embryonic Status to Cardiovascular Pathology
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. VEGF is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kDa produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly T ...
متن کاملCardiovascular pathology in AIDS.
The heart is not the most frequent site for opportunistic infectious or neoplastic processes in patients with AIDS (table 1). However, cardiovascular pathologic findings may occur in up to 40% of AIDS patients at autopsy [2–4]. Cardiac lesions are the immediate cause of death in 1–3% of AIDS patients [5]. The most common significant manifestations of cardiac disease, which can occur at any stag...
متن کاملCardiovascular System Pathology
PECAM-1 has the distinctive feature of being expressed on several of the major cell types associated with the vascular compartment. This makes it iniquely positioned to mediate multiple and important cell-cell interactions involving platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells, and may represent a potential target for new therapeutic agents. Morphological and immunohistochemical studies were per...
متن کاملPathology of the Cardiovascular System
General considerations: The heart is the first organ to form in the embryo. In mammalians and birds it consists of 4 chambers (2 atria and 2 ventricles). The heart functions to maintain adequate blood flow (cardiac output) with the purpose of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste metabolic products. The systemic circulation returns non-oxygenated blood to the r...
