DIESESES AFFECTING THE
CIRCULATORY AND LYMPHATIC
SYSTEMS
1
, COMMON CIRCULATORY PROBLEMS
HYPERTENSION (High blood Pressure)
Normal BP 120/80 mmHg
Chronic Hypertension persistantly 140/90 or higher
Affects both youth + old
Silent Killer no early warning signs death can result
Dangers of Hypertension.
STROKE (CVA)
Cerebrovascular Accident
High BP Blood Vessel rupture Haemorrhage(bleed)
HEART FALIURE
High BP heart works harder heart
muscle weakens heart faliure
BRAIN AND KIDNEY DAMMAGE
2
, High BP Little tears in endothelium of blood vessels
Atheroscleosis (Scarring in blood vessels) reduses blood flow
to brain/kidneys
\
Who is likely to suffer form Hypertension
1. SMOKERS
- Nicotine constriction of blood vessels
2. OBESE
- Higher BP needed Pump blood Increased total length of
blood vessels
3. TYPE – 2 DIABETES
- Lifestyle Diabetes
4. EMOTIONAL STRESS
5. THE SEDENTARY (No Exercise)
