  1. CURRENT HEALTH PROBLEMS IN MALAYSIA: “Cardiovascular Disease - Heart Failure” By: Shiraaj bin Mohd Rasol Siti Nooraini binti Mohamad Yusof

  2. DEFINITION: • Cardiovascular disease refers to the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins)* • The No. 1 Fatal Disease in MALAYSIA and WHOLE world • Mainly Heart Failure- Inability of cardiac output to meet the demand of the body *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_disease

  3. CURRENT STATUS:

  4. LIFE STYLE: • Smoking: - Prevalence: 21% (1985) - 31% (2000) - aged 15 ≥ - total of (ext) 5 mil. smokers; 14 ciggarettes/day - “National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign”- 43% attempted to quit- majority failed source: Clinical Practice Guideline on Treatment of Tobacco Use and Dependence, 2003, Ministry of Health, Malaysia

  5. LIFESTYLES: • Food: - lack of awareness of importance of proper diet - Use of high risk factors; condensed milk, oil - National Healthy lifestyle campaign*: - ban fast food advertisements on children's television to curb obesity and diet-linked diseases - food manufacturer to label their products with calorie content charts source:* Sean Yoong, Associated Press Writer  |  March 5, 2007

  6. LIFESTYLES: • Exercise: - Inc. awareness at school level - more thorough physical education system - Benefits*: - Flexibility exercises such as stretching improve the range of motion of muscles and joints. - Aerobic exercises such as cycling, walking, running, hiking, and playing tennis focus on increasing cardiovascular endurance. -Anaerobic exercises such as weight training, functional training or sprinting increase short-term muscle strength. source: www.wikipedia.com/exercise

  7. ETIOLOGY • 1) Heart attack - damaged heart muscle = “acute myocardial infarction” • 2) Prolonged pumping against a chronically increased afterload – eg: during hypertension and stenotic valves

  8. Heart Failure – Primary Defect • Differential Diagnosis: 1) abnormal QRS waveform – “ stress test ” 2) echocardiography 3) characteristics enzyme released cardiomocytes – measurement of concentration in blood • cardiac contractility ejection pressure reduced V of stroke volume

  9. Compensated Heart Failure • symphatetic activity contactility towards normal • at kidneys, due to blood flow, it retain : - [salt] -V of water during urine formation • blood V source: Human Physiology (International Student Association), Lauralee Sherwood

  10. De-compensated Heart Failure • = A point where heart could no longer pump normal stroke volume – DESPITE compensatory measure • Result: 1) Forward Failure: failure of heart to pump adequate amount of blood to the tissues –lowered stroke V 2) Backward Failure: Blood unable to enter and leave blood dam up at venous system - “ congestive heart failure ”

  11. Systolic VS Diastolic Failure • Systolic = Decreased cardiac contractility • Diastolic = Heart has trouble filling

  12. HEALTH STATUS in MALAYSIA • World leader in surgical gloves and catheters (rubber based) - most supplies are imported - Government encourages manufacture of more expensive and advanced equipment • shortages in the number of doctors and other medically trained personnel – ‘quick-fix’ solution: recruitment of 1,000 foreign doctors + increased scholarship for medicine study abroad • Ninth Malaysia plan (2006-2010); - RM2.0 billion-spent on developing rural health services, an increase of more than 150% from 2001-2005. - R&D, that saw only RM28.9 million in the last five years, receive RM250.0 million. - Allocation for training has tripled.

  13. THE END…. Thank you for your attention…
