Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Study

The following summary is an updated case study of a 47 year old male patient, Jim who was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease. The patient did receive information on what CAD is and was informed that test were needed to fully diagnose and be evaluated for underlying conditions (high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes and blockage. I will discuss the type of test needed for this condition and tests for any underlying conditions that are related to this disease. The type of treatment needed to control and lower his risk factor. I will also give the patient information about complementary and alternative medicine so the patient will be well informed about different types of treatment. The patient will be informed about the prognosis of the disease, and the options that the patient has to succeed in the changes in his lifestyle that are needed.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin, a hormone needed to convert the sugars and starches that we eat into energy needed for daily life. The cause of the disease is a mystery, but genetics and environment seem to play major roles. There are two kinds of Diabetes, Diabetes Insipidus and the more common Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Insipidus is a rare disease caused by a deficiency of vasopressin, a hormone of the posterior pituitary gland that

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

A chemical substance that acts upon the central nervous system and it alters brain function, resulting in temporary change in perception, mood, consciousness and behavior.

- Disfigurement or injury by removal or destruction of a conspicuous or essential part of the body.

Hazard - A Hazard is a potential source of harm or adverse health effect on a person.

A sickness that spreads like wildfires, damaging and destroying everything in its path. Everyone near it and everyone in it, is in some way harmed; either by the spread of it or the fire itself. Some may say that wildfires are a part of nature, and in fact helpful and healthy in terms that after the fire, nature has the opportunity to grow a new. But in the end the fire has such a destructive severity that it causes more harm than good. Gossip and rumour can be interpreted in a similar way. like fire people would argue that it is innocuous, but that is rarely the case; oftentimes gossip and rumours degrade people causing damaging consequences to their reputation and self esteem.

After consumption of food, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the digestive system which is then absorbed in the blood causing an increase in the blood glucose levels. This rise stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas beta cells which controls the blood glucose levels. Insulin also allows other cells to allow glucose into them by binding on specific cellular receptors thus facilitating the entry of glucose into the cell. Increased secretion of insulin by the pancreas and its subsequent utilization in the cells leads to low blood glucose levels which then result to decreased secretion of insulin. The production of insulin is also affected by disease which causes the dynamics of blood glucose to change when insulin production decreases, entry of glucose into the cells is inhibited which results to hyperglycemia. A similar situation occurs where the insulin secreted by the pancreas is not properly used by the target cells. Insulin secretion may also increase causing the blood sugar levels to become low which is hypoglycemia where the amount of glucose in tissue cells and muscles is higher than that in blood. Diabetes is the disease that occurs when a person's insulin levels are either too high or too low which results in imbalance in blood glucose levels. Type-1 diabetes occurs in those who produce little or no insulin at all while type-2 diabetes occurs in those who produce too high levels of

Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar), resistance to insulin, or both.

Cancer can arise due to multiple causes, however knowing and avoiding some cancer causing substances may prevent many cancers. A major known cause of cancer cases is due to environmental and lifestyle factors. Examples of environmental and lifestyle factors that can increase the chances of cancer includes: cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet and lack of exercise, excessive sunlight exposure, and engaging in risky sexual behaviors which can increase exposure to certain viruses (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 253).
