Heart disease

On Heart Disease Coronary heart disease makes up 56% of all deaths relating to heart conditions. The heart pumps blood around the body carrying oxygen and other essential nutrients to the areas in the body where they are needed.1 Coronary Heart disease is when this process is restricted or interrupted. The coronary arteries come off the main aorta, which are the first arteries to receive freshly oxygenated blood. They pass over the surface of the heart and supply it

The disease that I plan to purpose an intervention plan for is heart disease, specifically in the state of North Carolina. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2017) heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women; and contributes to 25% or one in four deaths in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). The American Heart and Stroke Association (2010) has reported estimated that 17, 154 deaths in North Carolina were a result

The health objective I have decided to study is cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is one of the top five causes of death in Summit County. According to the research, it is the number one cause out of the top five. Summit County shares the same top five causes of death as the nation (Summit County Public Health website, 2016). Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States (HealthyPeople.gov website, n.d.). The goal to improve cardiovascular health is early detection

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is very prevalent in the United States. It has caused serous illness and death within my family. It is the number one cause of death for both men and women in the United States. I feel that people should be informed about the disease because there are certain things that one can do to reduce the risks of getting it. Although genetics contribute to a person’s risk, this should not be used as an excuse, but more as a motivator to live a heart healthy lifestyle. CHD is

Heart disease is not as rare of a disease found in dogs as many think. About 10% of dogs are diagnosed with heart disease at some point in their life (Tudor, 2012). It is not limited to only one breed or size but instead it affects a wide range of canines. There are two main categories of heart disease, congenital and acquired. Congenital is the type of heart disease that is acquired at birth or is in some way hereditary. Acquired heart disease is more common in older animals, or animals with injury

Cardiovascular disease better known as heart disease is a condition that most have heard of and have been affected by in some way. Although the majority of people have heard the name of this condition, many still don't know what it means to be diagnosed with heart disease or even how to avoid it. Cardiovascular disease is a broad name for many different types of this condition, specifics include cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, stroke, peripheral artery disease and even more, all of these conditions are

Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States of America. It’s important to have a heart protection strategy, especially as you get older. It should include exercise and a healthy diet, plus supplements for heart health as needed. Know your cholesterol, blood pressure and ideal weight. Lower risk factors and prevent early disability, illness or even death from heart disease. And although you can't help heredity, you can certainly be aware of any risk factors that may have been passed

Heart disease Heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. and the world. It is also a major cause of disability. There are many different forms of heart disease. Many people have permanent heart damage or die because they don't get help immediately. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart disease occurs when the coronary arteries become partially blocked from, cholesterol and fat, circulating in the blood. This causes a build up inside the walls of the arteries. This only occurs if the levels of fat and cholesterol are extremely high in the blood that there is a greater chance that it will be deposited onto the artery walls. If the arteries become completely blocked, the patient will have a myocardial infarction,

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart disease is the most common form of heart disease. It is a general term for both heart attack and angina. Many people suffer from it and 500,000 Americans die from it each year. It is much more common in older people and in males. However, women tend to be older and sicker when they are first treated for a heart attack. Coronary heart disease occurs when some of the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle become narrowed with
