Coronary artery disease

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

atherosclerosis. It is a chronic inflammatory reaction in the artery walls with deposits of fatty proteins/lipids and cholesterol (Drake, Vogl, & Mitchell, 2015, p. 27). The inflammatory process is a pathological feature that contributes to the stages of atherosclerosis. It is initiated by attracting white blood cells such as monocytes and T lymphocytes to the injury site. The injury site can be caused by risk factors that can contribute to the disease such as; non-modifiable risk factors that include advanced

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a type of heart disease where plaque accumulates in the coronary arteries, which provide blood to the heart. The plaque is made of cholesterol deposits, and when it builds up in the arteries, it causes the arteries to slowly narrow (atherosclerosis). A very common symptom of CAD is angina, which is caused by the buildup of plaque. Angina is chest pain that is caused by reduced flow of oxygen rich blood to the heart. This makes the heart muscle weak, and can lead to

REASON CHIEF COMPLAINT: Coronary artery disease. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Mr. Smith has a history of coronary artery disease. Records indicate he has had seven stents in the past, though I do not have primary records for all of these stents. The most recent catheterization I can find in the system is from 2014. At that point in time, he had a 50% in-stent restenosis in the right coronary artery and minimal disease in the left system. His most recent echocardiogram was done in 04/2017 and

1. Identify a health issue within your region. Discuss why you are concerned about this health issue and discuss why the issue is important. I am concerned with coronary artery disease (CAD), as it is the leading cause of death in the United States and Florida. It is the most well-known kind of coronary illness. Over time CAD can debilitate the heart muscle and contribute to heart attacks. There are many modifiable risk factors, such as quit smoking, decrease alcohol intake, modifying the diet

stimulus. The coronary arteries are in charge of distributing adequate amounts of oxygen to the heart2. The heart’s nodes help the heart function with electrical impulses which allow the heart to contract. These are also known as the pacemakers of the heart. Failure to properly function can result in a heart attack. Introduction Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease is considered to be the first most common direct cause of sudden death1. Coronary artery disease

REASON CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup. BLANKLINE Inmate is an 86-year-old, Afro-American male, with history of coronary artery disease status post CABG in 2001. He has had PCI and stent placement. Pertinent history is significant for CHF, chronic renal disease, hypertension, and stroke. While admitted in Duke, he had an acute onset of left knee swelling which was aspirated and was positive for crystals by history. Patient is here today with continued swelling of his right knee and restriction

Coronary Artery Disease is a degenerative disease that is found prevalent among Indian Americans. According to the US Census, the Indian American population has grown by 68%, and 85% of South Asians living in America are from India (2010 census). Studies show that heart disease in Indian Americans is detected 5-10 years earlier in Indian Americans than all other nationalities. They also show that Indo Americans are 3-4 times more likely at risk for coronary artery disease than white Americans, six

Leclerc-Matias Eva Marte Lehigh Carbon Community College Running head: CAD in Women 1 CAD in Women 4 Abstract Roughly 7 million people die each year due to Coronary Artery Disease, making it one of the world’s major health concerns. CAD is a complication related the heart vessels but, if no measures are taken to treat and manage this condition
