4. RISK FACTORS OF VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM

11. PULMONARY EMBOLISM ; Acute Chronic Minor Massive

12. PULM. EMBOLISM : PRESENTATION BY THREE CLINICAL SYNDROMES ; 1) PULM. INFARCTION/OR HAEMORRHAGE; Most common presentation ( >50% of patients of pulm. embolism ), Abrupt pleuritic chest pain with or without dyspnea is classic symptom, Haemoptysis occurs in minority of patients.

13. ON EXAMINATION: Patient has tachypnea No signs of Rt heart failure. Examination of lungs shows rales, wheeze, pleural effusion & may be pleural rub, D.V.T evidence is rare D.D : Viral & Bacterial pneumonitis

14. 2) ACUTE COR-PULMONALE :  Presentation is dramatic, It occurs when pulm. embolism is massive to obstruct 60-75% of pulm. circulation. In response to Ac pulm. embolism, there is increased C. O & increased R.V systolic pressure to overcome increased resistance in pulm. circulation, The normal Rt ventricle can acutely increase its systolic pressure to about 50- 60 mmHg, Acute increase in pressure beyond this level causes Rt V dilatation & failure, decrease C.O.P, hypotension & cardiac arrest  patient presents with: Acute dyspnea, syncopy & cardiac arrest PULMONARY EMBOLISM ;

15. PULMONARY EMBOLISM ACUTE CORPULMONALE ON EXAMINATION  There is tachypnea, tachycardia and hypotension, signs of acute R.V. failure  Lungs are clear  D.V.T. may be present D/ DIAGNOSIS  Acute myocardial infarction  Hypovolemia  sepsis

16. PULMONARY EMBOLISM 3.) ACUTE UNEXPLAINED DYSPNEA  Diagnosis most difficult with sub-massive Pul. Embolism, who do not develop pul. Infarction E.C.G. & X-ray chest may be normal  D.V.T. may be present  Only physical signs may be tachyapnea, tachycardia & anxiety D.D  L.V.F  Pneumonia  Hyperventilation syndrome

19. Pulmonary embolism Investigations  X-ray chest  E.C.G  Arterial blood gases  Ventilation/perfusion lung scan  Pul. Angiography  Venography  Investigations for malignancy

20. Pulmonary embolism  Treatment  Prophylaxis  Treatment of D.V.T. & minor P.E  Treatment of large & massive P.E.

21. ETIOLOGY OF CHRONIC COR-PULMONALE MECHANISIM OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION 1. Hypoxic vasoconstriction A. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema, cystic fibrosis B. Chronic hypoventilation 1. Obesity 2. Sleepapnea 3. Neuromuscular disease 4. Chest wall dysfunction C. High-altitude dwelling and chronic mountain sickness (Monge’s Disease)

22. 2. Occlusion of pulmonary vascular bed A. Pulmonary thromboembolism, parastic ova, tumor emboli B. Primary pulmonary hypertension C. Pulmonary venocclusive disease D. Fibrosing mediastinitis, mediastinal tumor E. Pulmonary angitis from systemic disease 1. Collagen vascular diseases 2. Drug-induced lung diseases 3. Necrotizing and granulomatous arteries

23. 3. Parenchymal disease with loss of vascular surface area A. Bullous emphysema, ά 1 antiproteinase deficiency B. Diffuse bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis C. Diffuse interstitial disease 1. Pneumoconioses 2. Sarcoid, idiopathic, pulmonary fibrosis, histiocytosis X 3.Tuberculosis,chronic fungal infection 4. ARDS 5. Collagen vascular disease (immune lung disease) 6. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
