chapter 16 Flashcards
what is the leading cause of death and permanent disability in the US
CVD
acute CVD
MI
compensated heart disease
heart maintain blodo circulation
requires heart beat unusually fast so heart enlarges
decompensated heart disease
heart cant maintain circulation
CHF occurs
what may be affected in heart disease
myocardium
endocardium
pericardium
what is arterioscleroris
general term for vascular disease which arterires harden, making passage of blood difficult and sometimes impossible
athersclerosis
form of arteriosclerosis
most freuqnelt occurs in developed countries
chronic inflammatory porcoess, begins in childgood and is considered one of the major causes of MI
what are atherosclerotis plaques
deposites of cholesterol, fats, and other substances that accumulate over time
thickening and weakening artery walls
develop within walls and driven by inflammatory process
plaquye deposits gradually reduce the size of the lumen of the artery and amount of blood flow = inadequate supply of nutrients and oxygen delivery and waste removal known as ischemia
angina pectoria
reduced oxygen supply causes pain and if occurs in chest and raidates down left arm it’s a warning
infarct
lumen narrows so that a thrombus occurs in coronary artery and blood flow is cut off = dead tissue called infarct
called acute MI
treatment for MI
surgery to bypass clogged artery
CABG (coronary artery bypass graft)
CVA
cerebrovascular accident
blood flow 9to brain is blocked or blood vessels burst and blood flows into the brain
stroke
peripheral vascular disease (PVD)
occurs in tissue some distance from heart
risk factors of CVD
hyperlipidemia
hypertension
smoking
obesity and unhelathy diet
diabetes, pre-diabetes
family history (heart diesase in father or brother before age 55 or in mother or sister before age 65)
high stress lwvels
male sex
age (men 45+, women 55+)
physical inactivity
food and hyperlipidemia
dietary cholesterol and trigylcerics (fats in foods and in adipose tissue) contributeto hyperlipidemia
foods containing sat fat and trans fat increase serum cholesterol while unsat fat tends to reduce it
what are lipoproteins + types
- carry choesterol and fats in blood to body tissues
- LDL carries most of choelsterol to cells and elevated LDL blood levels contributes to atherosclerosis
- HDL carries cholesterol from tissues to liver for eventual excretion, low serum levels of HDL can contribute to atherosclerosis
total cholesterol classification
less than 200 mg/dL desirible
200-239 mg/dl borderline high
240 mg/d and above high
ldl cholesterol classification
less than 100 mg/dl optimal
100-129 mg/d near optimal
130-159 borderline high
160-189 mg/d high
190 mg/dl and above very high
hdl cholesterol classification
less than 40 mg/dl major heart disease risk factor
60 mg/dl and avoce gives some protection against heart disease
triglycerides classification
<150 mg/dl optimal
150-199 mg/dl borderline high
>200 mg/dL high
medical nutrition therapy for hyperlipidemia
reduce quantity and type of fats and often cal in diet
in overweight indv wt loss alone will help reduce serum cholesterol levels
<200 mg of cholsterol per day and fat provide no more than 20-35% of cal w max 7% of fat comeing from sat fat
carb should make up 50-55$ of cal and proteins from 12-20% of them
40% of cal in avg us diet comes from fats
types of diet for heart diesease
vegetarian
semi-vegetarian
vegan diet
Mediterranean diet
DASH diet
Omni Heat study foods
how long does it take to adjust to new food choices (heart-heatlhy eating plan)
2-3 months
