  1. Cardiovascular Disease Chapter 9

  2. Causes of Death (2003)

  3. Types of Cardiovascular Disease • Hypertension • 50,000,000. • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) • 12,400,000. • Angina pectoris • 6,400,000. • Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) • 7,300,000. • Cerebral Vascular Accident (Stroke) • 4,500,000.

  4. Blood Pressure Systolic Category Diastolic Optimal <120 <80 Normal <130 <85 High Normal 85-89 130-139

  5. Classifications of Hypertension Systolic Diastolic Mild (1) 140-159 90-99 Moderate (2) 160-179 100-109 Severe (3) 180-209 110-119 Very Severe (4) > 210 > 120

  6. Types of Hypertension • Essential Hypertension – No known cause. • Age • Weight • Ancestry • Sodium intake • Smoking • Secondary Hypertension – Secondary to other diseases. Renal, Endocrine

  7. Consequences of HBP • Stroke • Angina • Myocardial infarction • Heart failure • Renal dysfunction • Blindness • Death from a cardiovascular cause

  8. Coronary Artery Disease • Disease of the arteries supplying blood to the heart resulting from: • Arteriosclerosis • Atherosclerosis

  9. Arteriosclerosis • Hardening of the arterial walls. • Reduces elasticity of arteries • Increases stress on heart

  10. Atherosclerosis • The formation of atheromatous plaques resulting in restricted blood flow • Deposits of cholesterol, other fats, connective tissue, and muscle tissue from healing of arterial damage

  11. In a Nutshell • We need special molecules to transport fats (lipids) – LDL (bad) HDL (good) • LDL infiltrate arterial wall and oxidize (change) • Changed LDL’s alter wall to express “adhesion molecule.” • Adhesion molecules attract macrophages • Macrophages eat LDLs --- Foam Cells • Cap forms over this • Foam cell secrete inflammatory chemicals • Cap breaks and clots form. • Debris the sticks and builds

  12. Consequences of CAD • HBP • Angina Pectoris • Heart Attack • Stroke • Conditions related to the above

  13. Myocardial Infarction • Cardiac necrosis resulting from ischemia (blocked blood flow) • Necrotic tissue does not regenerate • Consequences related to amount of necrosis • Slightly more than half of those with first MI survive

  14. Consequences of MI • Impaired cardiac function • Limits physical ability • Death • Increased risk for future attacks

  15. Cerebrovascular Accident • Decreased blood supply to a part of the brain • Caused by rupture , occlusion, or stenosis of the blood vessels • Onset may be sudden or gradual • Symptoms and patient problems depend on location and size of area of brain with reduced or absent blood supply • Common vs. Hemorrhagic • Third leading cause of death

  16. Stroke Rate by State (per 100,000) • 1  South Carolina  81.4 • 2  North Carolina  78.5 • 2  Tennessee  78.5 • 4  Arkansas  77.2 • 5  Georgia  74.8 • 6  Mississippi  74 • 7  Oregon  71.6 • 8  Alabama  71.5 • 8  Indiana  71.5 • 10  Oklahoma  69.5 • 11  Washington  68.7 • 41  North Dakota  55.5 • 42  Vermont  54.9 • 43  Arizona  53.8 • 44  Massachusetts  51.5 • 45  Connecticut  51.4 • 46  New Mexico  50.6 • 47  Florida  49.6 • 48  New Jersey  49 • 49  Rhode Island  45.6 • 50  DColumbia  44.4 • 51  New York  40.9

  17. Common Stroke • Stoke resulting from vascular blockage • Thrombosis • Blockage due to build-up • Embolus • Build-up (clot) breaks away and travels until it block cerebral vessel

  18. Hemorrhagic Stroke • CVA secondary to bleeding • Rupture • Aneurysm

  19. CVASigns and Symptoms • Altered LOC • Change in mental status • Decreased attention span • Decreased ability to think and reason • Difficulty following simple directions • Communication; motor and sensory aphasia difficulty with reading ,writing, speaking, or understanding • Bowel and bladder dysfunction retention impaction or incontinence

  20. CVASigns and Symptoms • Seizures • Limited motor function; paralysis, dysphgia, weakness , hemiplegia, loss of function or contractures • Loss of sensation/ perception • Headaches and syncope • Loss of temp regulation elevated TPR and BP • Absent of gag reflex ( aspiration) • Unusual emotional responses; depression, anxiety, anger, verbal outburst, and crying: emotional lability • Problems related with immobility
