There are many reasons that disturbed the normal flow of blood like ECG rhythm, congestive heart failure, hypertension, gestational hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease, which are also the exemplars of perfusion. There are many risk factors that can be modified to prevent the perfusion problem. Blood pressure greater than 140/90 is known as hypertension. Excessive sodium intake, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes, extreme tobacco and alcohol
overview of chronic heart failure, examining signs symptoms and treatment related to the case study, medical history. The anatomy and physiology of the heart will be discussed, and the pathophysiology of chronic heart failure. Heart failure is a general term used to describe several types of cardiac dysfunction that result in inadequate perfusion of tissue with vital blood-borne nutrients. Most causes of heart failure result from dysfunction of the left ventricle. The size of the heart is approximately
Age and Gender:: Stroke risk increases with age, doubling each decade after 55 years of age. Two third strokes occur in individual older than sixty-five years, but stroke, recurrent can occur at any age. Advanced of age increase liability to chronic disease, and respectively higher rate of stroke progression or its recurrence (Linton, 2015 and Grotta, et al. 2016). Regarding gender, strokes are more common in men for occurrence and recurrence, due to increase liability for stressors either physiological
For example, if the stroke occurs to the part of the brain that sends and receives signals to the phrenic nerve, the performance of the diaphragm can be greatly altered. If the vagal nerve is affected, the patient could experience a drastic drop in heart rate and blood pressure. There are two major types of strokes, those being hemorrhage and ischemia. “Hemorrhage is characterized by too much blood inside the skull. In ischemia, there is not enough blood supply to allow continued normal functioning
sudden cardiac death, transient ischemic attacks, cerebrovascular disease and more. The most common cause of myocardial infarctions (MI) is ischemic heart disease, and in turn, MIs are one of the leading causes of heart failure because they directly alter the structure and function of the heart. Heart failure can be described as the inability of the heart to adequately fill or contract in order to meet the body’s metabolic demands. MIs affect the ability of the heart to properly fill and eject blood
Introduction In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of clinical decision-support systems (CDSS) in the prevention and control of ischemic heart disease (IHD); this is due to an increasing recognition that stronger CDSS are crucial to achieve a high quality care with attendance lower morbidity and mortality.1 CDSS is defined as “computer-based information systems designed to assist health care providers in implementing clinical guidelines at the point of care. CDSS use
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a major health issue worldwide, contributing to a large proportion of stroke, chronic kidney disease (CDK), and heart failure cases. However, organized hypertension prevention and control interventions have decreased the detrimental outcomes. Since the management of salt consumption also plays a role in decreasing of blood pressure in the population at risk, a global-based assessment of hypertension programs and salt consumptions was performed. This quantitative
and the importance of carefully planning an energy and nutrient adequate diet to provide sufficient requirements for exercise. Literature provides overwhelming evidence that a vegetarian diet aids in the prevention of chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, obesity and some cancer risks (Craig, 2010; Hart, 2009). Regular physical activity has also been shown to assist in preventing, and reducing the severity of these conditions (Craddock, Probst, and Peoples, 2016). There
INTRODUCTION In the world, stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death as well as leading long term disability cause as of 2012.1 In addition, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 33% of potentially preventable deaths in the US between 2008 and 2010 is attributed to stroke.2 Notably, 60% of all stroke deaths are women.3 Current research indicates the existence of a difference between how women and men present with stroke, how they are treated in an acute setting, and how they
dramatic changes due to the ongoing demographic transition. Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), such as diabetes, cancer, depression and heart disease, are rapidly replacing infectious diseases and malnutrition as the leading causes of morbidity & mortality. Men and women are equally affected. Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and diabetes are becoming of serious concern, accounting for 52 % of deaths and 38 per % of disease burden in the South East Asia Region as reported by World Health Organization
