  2. Negative Effects of Cardiovascular disease • Eating foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol may cause plaque to form on artery walls. • Atherosclerosis – a disease in which there is a build up of plaque on artery walls. • When a person has atherosclerosis, the diameter of the artery becomes narrow. Blood pressure increases because blood is flowing through a narrower opening in the artery. Pressure may rupture the plaque causing a blood clot that blocks the artery or that breaks off, circulates in the bloodstream. • Embolism – the blockage of an artery by a clump of material traveling in the bloodstream. • If the blockage is in an artery in the brain, a person could have a stroke. If the blockage is in an artery in the heart, a heart attack could occur. A blockage in the lung is called a pulmonary embolism.

  3. Cardiovascular Disease • First Step: Limit fat and cholesterol intake • Second Step: Increase Your intake of foods and beverages containing antioxidants • Third Step: Limit your intake of sodium. • Fourth Step: Include flaw, soy, canola, olive. And fish oils in your diet. • Cholestorerol – a fat-like substance made by the body and found in some foods. • Atherosclerosis- build up of plaque on artery walls. The diameter of the artery becomes narrow • Embolism- blockage of an artery by a clump of material traveling in the bloodstream • Plaque – is made up of the cholesterol, fatty substances, cellular waste product and other substances

  4. Symptoms of CVD • Chest Pain • Sudden numbness of the face/arms • Shortness of breath • Weakness or coldness in legs/arms • Slow heartbeat • Dizziness/Fainting • Cardiovascular disease is not one condition rather it is a name used to describe conditions and diseases. • There are more than sixty types of cardiovascular diseases. • Some cardiovascular diseases developed at birth or over years.
