In reviewing this article, this writer was able critique the study and the suitability that it can possess if applied to actual practice. An important factor on whether a study can be considered valuable is if it is transferable in other situation, that is, a study's results should also be reflective if duplicated on other samples (Polit & Beck, 2006). Thus, the statistical power, internal and external validity are important to observe and note (Polit & Beck). If this writer were to carry out this study, it would have to be reflective of how the researcher performed it originality.

The artifact I selected is a public service announcement from the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association has produced various health issue ads and campaigns geared towards educating individuals on health risks, symptoms, prevention and facts about heart-related conditions. In the beginning of this video, NBA player Paul George is seen playing basketball on a court by himself reflecting on how his mother’s stroke was devastating and sudden. Paul George then stresses the importance of knowing the signs of a stroke. This is known as the acronym F.A.S.T., Face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty and time to call 9-1-1. He desires to make sure that every person is knowledgeable of these signs so they will be prepared to act fast and possibly save someone’s life. I came across this video while looking up information about heart-related issues caused by high blood pressure. The message delivered in this video has become a reality for many in our nation. From this video, we learn that early detection is critical in increasing the stroke survival rate.

Make sure the article is about an actual research study, and NOT simply a literature review, systematic literature review, case study, a study with less than 30 participants, or a report.

This article is good because it is short and explains things that would be useful in this research. The article gives the actual wording of

M., & Peterson, C. B., 2001). The article took a couple of ideas from its secondary sources in order to see change or altered them in ways were it would get a better more accurate result.

The abstract provides a nice summary of the article including the purpose, method, results and conclusion of the study. There is no real sense of urgency portrayed in the abstract because the authors fail to explain what the problem is that the study is aimed at researching. The authors do include the applicability of their

Coronary heart disease is one of the leading killers in America. I will later discuss why this is the case, and how the choices of Americans will inflict the ultimate price of death. Aside from bad decisions, the anatomy of where this disease takes place is fragile in regards to bodily malfunctions. The reason it is called coronary heart disease is because it takes place in the coronary arteries. These arteries are what supplies the heart with oxygenated blood. So you can guess that if something goes wrong with these arteries, it could be detrimental for the entire body because the heart pumps blood to the whole body. The right and left coronary arteries branch from the aorta, which is the main supplier of blood to the systemic circuit. The

He brings many researchers opinions into his article to help clarify and make more accredited observations for

In 2009, the American Heart Association scientific advisory concluded that obtaining at least five to ten percent of total caloric intake from ɳ-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) was associated with a thirteen percent lower risk of coronary risk (“Essential”). A 2011 analysis of seven-hundred showed supplementation with ɳ-3 fatty acids lowered blood levels of homocysteine, a byproduct of protein metabolism, which damages the epithelium and increases the risks of cognitive decline (Sears 51). Likewise, a 2012 meta-analysis of seven randomized control trials (RCTs) estimated that a ten percent reduction in coronary heart disease was linked to each five percent energy increase in PUFA consumption (“Essential”).

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an acquired condition characterised by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. CHD is the most common cause of death globally, and in Australia. However, the prevalence of CHD is disproportionately high in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, at approximately twice the rate of other Australian populations. There are a number of established risk factors for developing CHD, including hypercholesterolaemia, obesity and hypertension. These risk factors are especially prevalent in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. A multifactorial model for the causation of CHD addresses both distal and proximal risk factors for CHD. Whilst the risk factors can be applied equally to all

The results that the research presented was very thorough, which included many graphs, tables, and error margins. However, the journal article; although correct in its conclusion, simplified the results to an extreme that diluted the great effort the researchers went through. Furthermore, the journal did not include any of the figures or errors that were in the research, thus leading the reader to believe that the conclusion of that research is concrete fact. Therefore, the conclusion of the journal article and the research differ in that, the research state, that more tests and follow-ups are needed, as well as a more in-depth scientific analysis; whereas the journal article's conclusion stated that information as facts, and not a set of information that needs further

Men older than age 45 can get coronary artery disease and women over the age 55 can get the disease as well because they can have a history of early heart disease. Some risk factors can also be High blood cholesterol levels (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol),High blood pressure, Cigarette smoking, Diabetes mellitus, Obestiy, Lack of physcial activity, Metabolic syndrome, and Mental stress and depression. There are also some non traditional risk factors like C-reactive protein which can cause inflammation and can also casue a heart attack, Lipoprotein, Homocysteine, Small dense LDL-C proteins and Fibrinogen. The coronary aretery disease starts with growth within the walls of the coronary arteries until the blood flow of the heart muscle is limited which is also
