Prevention of cardiovascular disease __ عبد الامير Flashcards
what’re the prevention methods of the CVD ?
1- primary prevention.
2-secondary prevention
whats the differecnce of the primary and secondary prevention ?
1-primary prevention:
modifications of risk factors in order to prevent or delay the onset of vascular diseases.
2-secondary prevention:
intiation of therapy to reduced recurrence of vascular events & decrease cardiac mortality in patients with established vascular diseases.
how much the Coronary Artery Disease are sever ?
4 out of every 10 individuals who develop
a heart attack or sudden death from
coronary artery disease
have no prior warning or symptoms
what’re the risks factors of CVD?
non- modifing factors
1- Age age of 45-55
increases as we get older
2-Family History :This is especially powerful if your mother, father, sister, or brother experienced heart disease in their 50’s or 60’s or younger
3-Gender more in male because of estrogen is protective factors Men have a higher risk of heart disease earlier in life. After menopause, women catch up.
thsese are modifing factors
- Physical inactivity
- Stress
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- High Cholesterol, high triglycerides, low HDL
- High blood pressure
- High fat diet
how to perform the primary prevention ?
- Individual risk assessment by medical history ,physical examination and investigations.
- Determination of global risk score for CHD (Framingham Risk Score)
- Life style changes & education.
- Drugs ( Aspirin,statins,HRT,others)
- Devices (ICD ,CRT )
what’re the variables in the global risk score for CHD
(Framingham Risk Score)?
it’s assess the risk of CVD in 10 years
1-AGE 2-GENDER 3-RACE 4-SMOKING 5-DM 5-TC total cholestrol 6-HDL 7-SBP 8-systolic HTN 9- reciveing treatment for the BP
what’re the drugs are used in primary prevention ?
- Aspirin : low dose 75-100mg daily for those with moderate-high risk score ( 10-year ASCVD ≥ 10 %)
- Statin : moderate-high intensity statin for those with DM ,LDL≥ 190mg/dl & 10-year ASCVD≥7.5%
- Antihypertensive &Antidiabetic drugs(ACEI,Angiotensin II receptor blockers (,metformin)
what’re the Components of Secondary Prevention ?
1- cigrate ceastion 2-BP contraolas beta blockers and reinin agngiotensin blochers 3-lipid mangment 4-physical activity 5-weight loss 6-DM control 7- antiplatlet and anticoagulant 8- influenza vacine
whats the Cigarette Smoking Recommendations?
Goal: Complete Cessation and No Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke
Ask about tobacco use status at every visit.
اسأل عن حالة تعاطي التبغ في كل زيارة

Urge avoidance of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at work and home.
what’re Blood Pressure Control Recommendations ?
Goal: <130/80 mm Hg or <130/80 if diabetes or chronic kidney disease
Blood pressure 120/80 mm Hg or greater:
· Initiate or maintain lifestyle modification: weight control, increased physical activity, alcohol moderation, sodium reduction, and increased consumption of fresh fruits vegetables and low fat dairy products
Blood pressure 140/90 mm Hg or greater (or 130/80 or greater for chronic kidney disease or diabetes)
· As tolerated, add blood pressure medication, treating initially with beta blockers and/or ACE inhibitors with addition of other drugs such as thiazides as needed to achieve goal blood pressure
what the recomonaded weight ?
(BMI=18.5-24.9)
if i lose 10kg the BP will decrease by …
5-20 mmHg/10 kg weight lost
what the diet recomindation ?
Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy and reduced in fat
will the diet recomindation reduce the pressure ?
8-14 mmHg
how much salt?
<2.4 grams of sodium per day
if the sodium is less2.4 the BP decrease by
2-8 mmHg
