Exam 4: MNT for Cardiovascular Disease Flashcards
Explain the process of atherosclerosis
▪ Fatty streaks - WBC ingestion of
oxidized cholesterol
▪ Fibrous plaque - calcification of fatty
streaks
▪ Thrombus – blocks or restricts blood
flow
Recognize clinical manifestations of atherothrombotic disease
- ischemic stroke
- transient ischemic attack
- myocardial infarction
- angina pectoris (stable, unstable)
- sudden death
- intermittent claudication
- critical limb ischemia, gangrene, necrosis
Identify risk factors for atherosclerosis
Identify risk factors for hypertension
Atherosclerosis and related risk
factors
Ethnicity
Identify risk factors for heart failure
Describe how hypertension is diagnosed
Describe how blood pressure is regulated
▪ SNS
- Short-term control
- raise BP: Norepinephrine – vasoconstrictor
▪ Kidney
▪ Long-term control
▪ Controls extracellular fluid volume
▪ Secretes renin
Describe the pathophysiology of heart failure
Describe the symptoms of heart failure
Medications to treat atherosclerosis
Medications to treat hypertension
▪ Diuretics: Lasix, Aldactone
▪ Beta-blockers: –olol drugs (vasodialation or constriction)
▪ ACE inhibitors: -pril drugs (block ACE prevent both sodium and water retension and vasoconstriction
Medications to treat heart failure
procedures to treat atherosclerosis
Procedures to treat hypertension
Procedures to treat heart failure
MNT for heart failure
MNT for hypertension
▪ Limit
- sodium contribute by increase blood volume (body retain more water) higher blood volume higher blood pressure
- alcohol in excess: raise BP, mechanism: heavy dirnking associated iwth inc levels of renin which stimulates cascades that lead to sodium and water retention, vasocontriction
▪ Consume adequate amounts
of
- omega 3 fatty acids: makes blood thinner, promote secretion of nitric oxide, promte vasodialation, antiinflammatory
- potassium: banana 400mg , potato, sweet potato, spinach, avocado, fruits and veg, dairy, legumes, DRI: 4700mg/day
- calcium dairy, dark leafy greens, tofu, non dairy milk
- magnesium: whole grains, dark chocolate, fish, nuts/seeds
both smooth muscle contraction and relaxation that can promote vasodialation
-
▪ Promote DASH diet, physical
activity, and weight loss
▪ Vitamin D: suppres renin
▪ Vitamins C and E: promote elasticity of blood vessles
▪ Coenzyme Q10: antiox, mitochondria, act as vasodialator
▪ Garlic
▪ Resveratrol - red wine or grape skin grape juice
- both inc nitric oxide production and vasodilation
▪ Beet extract^
▪ Hawthorn berry- vasodialation
▪ Hibiscus- diuretic and vasodialation
not recoomned take regular
