why Women tend to develop
cardiovascular disease
at an older age than
men?
This later age of onset in women is thought to be linked to the hormonal changes that follow menopause
what are the COMPONENTS OF RISK MODIFICATIO?
- PATIENT ASSESSMENT
- NUTRITIONAL GUIDANCE
- LIPID MANAGEMENT
- HYPERTENSION MANAGEMENT
- CIGARETTE CESSATION
- OBESITY MANAGEMENT
- DIABETES MANAGEMENT
- PSYCHOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
- PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT
10.EXERCISE TRAINING
- Vital signs
- Cardiovascular and pulmonary assessment
- Assessment of joints
- Neuromuscular assessment
are all related to?
physical assessments
Obtaining total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride measurements are the assessment of?
LIPID MANAGEMENT
if LDL is lower than 100 mg/dl is normal
and, LDL higher tan 130 mg/dl should be with drug treatment
true or false?
true
– Short-term aim: provide LDL <100
– Long-term aim: maintain LDL <100 and
provide HDL> 35 mg / dL and triglyceride
<200mg / dl
true or false?
true
Measuring resting blood pressure more than
two times a day for?
HYPERTENSION
MANAGEMENT
when should we start the intervention of hypertension management?
If systolic blood pressure is 130-139 mmHg or
diastolic blood pressure is 85-90 mmHg
and
if the systolic blood pressure is greater than>
140mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is greater
than> 90mmHg
systolic blood pressure is less than?
and diastolic blood pressure is less than?
systolic blood pressure is <130 mmHg and
diastolic blood pressure is <85 mmHg
BMI> 25kg is indication of starting a?
obesity
waist circumference measurement in men> 88cm in women> 102 in patients
true or false?
false, it is the opposite
1-Continue modification and
assessment of interventions until progressive
weight loss is achieved
2-preparation of diet and exercise
a program according to the targeted weight,
protection when the target weight is reached
which one for long and short-term aims?
1- for short term
2- for long term
what is the DIABETES MANAGEMENT?
_ Restoring fasting blood glucose (80-110 mg /
dL)
– Minimization of diabetic complications
– Obesity, hypertension (<130 / 85mmHg) and
hyperlipidemia control
