cardiovascular study guide
General Treatments Measure for Cardio Vascular Diseases:
-Dietary modifications: lowering...
Lowering cholesterol, salt intake, weight loss
General Treatments Measure for Cardio Vascular Diseases
-Regular Exercise program: decreasing...
Decreasing LDL, increases HDL, reduces stress
General Treatments Measure for Cardio Vascular Diseases
-Cessation of smoking: smoking increases...
Smoking increases cardiac workload, leading to platelet adhesion and increased risk for blood clot.
-what is a LDL-
-transports...
-low density protein- undesired
-Transport cholesterol from liver to cells
-what is a HDL?
-transports .... away from
-woman have a higher...
-high density lipoprotein- highly desired
-Transports cholesterol away from the peripheral cells to the liver
-Women have higher HDL until they go through menopause, then LDL goes up.
, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) lead to..
---- plays a large role
-woman have more....
-Leads to heart failure, dysrhythmias, sudden death
-family history plays a large role
-Women have more severe complications than men, leading cause of death in both men and women.
Arteriosclerosis: general term referring to...
-typically seen in...
-It’s a general term referring to loss of elasticity, stiffening, and thickening of arteries
-Typically seen in older people, causes BP to go up.
Atherosclerosis
Present of....
-what do the plaques consist of?
-whos at risk?
-atheromas (placks) in large arteries.
-Plaques consist of lipids, calcium- can increase the size of plaques, and possible clots.
-anyone
progression of Atherosclerosis
-injury to ...... > increases ....> inflammation and...... > ... formation > .... adhesion and... > .. narrows >
---- may rupture leading to
Injury to endothelial vessel wall→ increases in WBC at area of injury → Inflammation and
accumulation of lipids —> Plaque formation —> Platelet adhesion and plaque continues to keep
building and growing→ lumen narrows- ischemia → plaque may rupture leading to complete blockage.
