3. Aneurysm Nicolas Alvarez

5. Aneurysm • a blood-filled bulge of a blood vessel • it usually affects arteries of the brain or the abdominal aorta • very dangerous – possibility of internal bleeding

7. Aneurysm Rupture of the aorta withaneurysm

9. Aneurysm • causes of aneurysm: hypertension, inflammation of thevesselwall, atherosclerosis • symptoms: sharp and severe pain • diagnostics: ultrasound or CT • treatment: surgeryisneeded; bloodpressure and cholesterol reduction (supportivetreatment)

11. Dissection Zuzana Kaščáková

13. Dissection • the rupture of the inner wall of a vessel • it usually affects the aorta in the chest • it may cause a heart-attack, a stroke, paralysis of some parts of the body

15. Dissection Comparation – normal aorta and dissected aorta Dissection

17. Dissection • causes: hypertension, atherosclerosis, thinning blood vessels • symptoms: sudden pain • diagnostics: ECG • treatment: abdominal aorta – surgery is not always needed, any other dissection requieres surgery

19. Heartarrhythmia Marek Timoracký

20. ''An irregular heartbeat is an arrhythmia.''

21. Whatcausesanarrhythmia? • Coronary artery disease • Electrolyte imbalances in your blood (such as sodium or potassium) • Changes in your heart muscle • Injury from a heart attack • Healing process after heart surgery • Irregular heart rhythms can also occur in "normal, healthy" hearts

23. Types of arrhythmias • Prematureatrialcontractions • Prematureventricularcontractions • Atrialfibrillation • Atrialflutter • Paroxysmalsupraventriculartachycardia • Accessorypathwaytachycardias • AV nodalreentranttachycardia • Ventriculartachycardia • Ventricularfibrillation • Long QT syndrome • Bradyarrhythmias • Sinusnodedysfunction • Heartblock

25. Prematureventricularcontractions WhatCausesPVC? • Heartattack • Highbloodpressure • Cardiomyopathy • Disease of heartvalves • Hypokalemia • Hypomagnesemia • Hypoxia • Medications • Excessiveintake of alcohol • Excesscaffeineintake • Stimulantdruguse • Myocarditis • Cardiaccontusion

27. Atrialfibrillation WhatCausesAtrialFibrillation? • Poorlycontrolledhighbloodpressure (hypertension) • Heartvalveproblems • Coronaryarterydisease • Alcoholabuse • Obesity • Sleepapnea (pauses in breathing) • Thyroiddisorders

29. Paroxysmalsupraventriculartachycardia WhatCauses PST? • Excessiveintake of alcohol • Excesscaffeineintake • Electrolytesabnormalities • Abnormalthyroidlevels • Medications

31. Diagnostics • Electrocardiogram (EKG) • Holtermonitor • Echocardiography • Exercisecardiacstresstest • Bloodtests

33. Treatment • Antiarrhythmiamedications • Implantationof a pacemaker • Surgery

35. Hyperlipidemia Lenka Polláková

37. Whatishyperlipidemia • abnormally elevated levels of any lipids in the blood vs. alwaysyourdecision?

39. Classification • primary • geneticcauses • checkyourfamilyhistory • minimizeyour risk throughdiet and exercise • secondary • acquired • unhealthylifestyle • underlying causes – drugs (diuretics, estrogens, beta blockers), diabetes

41. Howitworks • fatty substances travel in the blood attached to proteins – lipoprotein • LDL (low density lipoprotein),,bad cholesterol“ • its excess - blockage of arteries – heart attack • HDL (high density lipoprotein) „good cholesterol“ • lower level – coronary heart disease

43. Howitlooks • no symptoms BUT ! • elevatedchanceofheartdiseases

45. Ups, I haveit - eathealthy - - readfoodlabels - - limit red meat, eggs, friedfood - - increasetheamountoffiber - - lose extra weight - - exerciseregularly -

47. Thankyouforyourattention - livehealthier -
