- cardiovascular disease
- lifestyle factors
- Diet
- saturated increases atheroma formation
- salt increases blood pressure
- high blood pressure
- smoking
- carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin, reducing the amount of oxygen transported around the blood.
- can lead to stroke, heart attack
- nicotine makes platelets sticky,increasing blood clots,increasing risk of CVD.
- reduces the amount of antioxidants in the blood, more cell damage, more atheromas.
- carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin, reducing the amount of oxygen transported around the blood.
- inactivity(sedentary lifestyle)
- Diet
- factors beyond control
- genetics
- some people inherit particular alleles that make them more likely to have high bp/blood cholesterol.
- age
- plaque builds up over time
- gender
- men are 3x more likely-women have more oestrogen, increases levels of HDL.
- genetics
- treatment of CVD
- antihypertensives (lower blood pressure)
- diuretics
- increase volume of urine, reducing blood volume and pressure.
- calcium channel blockers
- lower blood pressure-prevent ca from entering cells of heart +arteries-softer contractions,allow bv to relax +open.
- ACE inhibitors
- widen/dilate your bv,increases amount of blood your heart pumps and lowers bp, increases blood flow.
- side effect/concern
- palpitations,abnormal heart rhythms,fainting,headaches,drowsiness, bp too low,allergies,depression,low sodium levels.
- diuretics
- lowering cholesterol
- statins
- reduces the amount of LDL produced in liver-reduces atheroma formation-inhibits enzyme.
- muscle and joint pain,digestive system problems,increased risk of CVD
- statins
- anti-coagulants(reduce blood clotting)
- warfarin
- prevent harmful blood clots from forming/growing any larger
- severe bleeding,osteoporosis,fainting,allergies,swelling,damage to fetus if taken in pregnancy.
- prevent harmful blood clots from forming/growing any larger
- asprin
- makes platelets less stick N.B(dual antiplatelet therapy)
- Untitled
- makes platelets less stick N.B(dual antiplatelet therapy)
- warfarin
- antihypertensives (lower blood pressure)
