disease, heart failure, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital heart disease are the six different types of CVDs. Out of the six, ischemic heart disease is the most common type of CVD around the world. With this condition, there is a blockage of blood circulation to the heart,

Coronary heart disease is a huge issue in our world today. Many researchers are currently working on finding ways to study and improve our treatments and prevention methods. This study focuses on how anti-lipoprotein A-I autoantibodies are displayed in patients with no autoimmune disease. Furthermore, this study could also help potentially discover a new treatment or a new form of diagnosis for cardiovascular diseases. Because this study was based on an autoimmune response, the population examined

Journal Of Nursing Scholarship, 45(1), 60-68. doi:10.1111/jnu.12002 Cardiovascular disease, including stroke and sudden cardiac death, is the leading cause of death in the world population, representing 30% of all deaths in 2008 (Wung et al., 2013). Understanding genetic variations related to cardiovascular disease is a tremendous undertaking because common forms of cardiovascular disease seem to be impacted

about the child is their skin color. The blood circulates through a child’s body very quickly because it is so small. A child’s skin will react to the blood volume that is currently circulating throughout their body, changing color as the blood flow becomes less adequate. It will likely be normal, blue (cyanotic), pale (pallor), or have a waxy look. The child’s skin should look normal, which is pink or rosy. If the child looks blue or pale at all, their blood is not circulating adequately. The waxy

1. Why is shaking a baby so dangerous? • Shaking a baby is incredibly dangerous for many reasons. When a baby is shaken rapidly it is called shaken baby syndrome. First and for most it can cause serious injury. The shaking of a baby can cause serious brain injury which can affect the baby’s vision and the baby can potentially have behavioral problems and developmental problems. These types of injuries can affect the baby for the rest of their lives. Lastly, the shaking of a baby can potentially cause

According to the World Health Organization, “cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels.” These include coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke. CVD has been a main public health topic since the late 1990s because of its high prevalence. “Nearly 800,000 people die in the U.S. each year from cardiovascular disease, accounting for 1 in 3 deaths and more than $300 billion in direct medical costs and lost productivity” (CDC Looks Ahead: 13 Public Health

So we already know that the blood vessels are the vessels that transport the blood to and from the heart and to the tissues throughout our body. Let us now quickly review the basic structure of the vessels that the human body contains. The five main types of blood vessels are the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. We have already learned that the arteries carry blood away from the heart to the tissues via systemic circulation. Well these large arteries eventually divide into smaller

of blood vessels. There are three progressive states of excess fatty material in the blood vessel walls: fatty streak, intermediate lesion, and a fibrous lesion. A fatty streak is a line of yellow fatty material in the blood vessel wall, and as the streak becomes larger it is then called an intermediate lesion then a fibrous lesion. A fibrous lesion can be occlusive of non-occlusive. The occlusive lesion forms under the endothelium of the blood vessel and grows towards the lumen of the blood vessel

of the heart and blood vessels. It is what makes the blood in our body go round. The blood carries oxygen, nutrients and hormones and takes them to where they are needed and removes the waste products like carbon dioxide. The circulatory system nourishes every cell, tissue, organ and organ system in the body. There are approximately ten pints of blood constantly circulating through seventy- five- thousand miles of blood vessels. These blood vessels reach every cell in

maintained by the movement of muscles and blood, as well as other bi-products of the organ systems. The Integumentary, Cardiovascular, and Tissue systems are capable of movement both internal and external allowing for the continuous cycle that keeps the human body functioning. The most important system that relies on movement is the Cardiovascular system. The Cardiovascular system is mainly composed of the heart, blood vessels, and about 5.5 liters of blood. ()The system itself is constantly moving
