A
  • Arterial stiiffness lead to arterial distensibility then increase BP

16
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Older people ability to respond to stress is reduce

A

True

17
Q

Why ability of older people to respond to stress is reduce?

A
  • Due to decrease cardiac output and cardiac reserve
  • Heart Rate will increase in response to stress
18
Q

Does your body sends less blood to muscles working during exercise?

A

No, it send more blood

19
Q

What will happen to sympathetic modulation in older people?

A
  • HR domt adjust
  • More strain to left ventricle
  • Heart has hard time relaxing
20
Q

What neurotransmitter will increase to compensate for the hearts capacity to respond?

A

Norepi/epi

21
Q

Common cardiovascular problems

A
  • Narrowed artery
  • Congenital heart and blood vascular problems
  • Unusual heart beats
22
Q

What is congestive heart failure

A
  • Heart capacity to pump blood doesn’t meed body’s need.
23
Q

Coronary artery disease

A

Blocked arteries

24
Q

Atrial Fibrilation

A

Irregular heartbeat

25
Q

Hypertension

A

Blocked due to plaque

26
Q

What are the 2 risk factor or contributing factors for Cardiovascular disease?

A

Non modifiable and modifiable

27
Q

What are the non modifiable risk factors

A
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Heredity and eace
  • Family history
28
Q

What are the modifiable risk factors

A
