CARDIOVASCULAR

Cardiovascular disorder (Heart disease) is any disorder that affects the heart's ability to function normally.

Various forms of heart disease include:• Hypertension• Coronary artery disease (CAD)• Heart failure• Angina • Heart attack (myocardial infarction)• Stroke

PREVALANCE CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS If you're like most people,

you think that heart disease is a problem for other People.

Cardiovascular disorders are the world’s largest killers, claiming 17.1 million lives a year and 1/3 deaths.

PREVALANCE CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS If you think these numbers

don`t concern Pakistan, you are wrong.

The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that over the next 10 years in Pakistan alone, 6th million people will die due to CVD disease.

UNDERSTANDING HYPERTENSION A SILENT

KILLERHypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure

These problems include:

•Coronary artery disease

•Heart failureSOURCE: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000163.htm

The estimated total number of adults with hypertension in 2000 was 972 million

The number of adults with hypertension in 2025 was predicted to increase by about 60% to a total of 1.56 billion.

GLOBAL PREVALANCE OF HYPERTENSION

HYPERTENSION IN PAKISTAN TIME TO TAKE SOME SERIOUS ACTION

The National Health Survey of Pakistan

estimated that hypertension

affects 18% of adults with every 3rd person over the age of 40 becoming increasingly vulnerable to a wide range of diseases.

It was also mentioned that only

50% of the people with hypertension were diagnosed and that only half of those diagnosed were ever treated.

Thus, only 12.5% of hypertension cases were adequately controlled.

ORGAN WHICH MAY AFFECT BY HYPERTERNTION

Effects on the Heart and Blood Vessels

• According to the American Heart Association, untreated high blood pressure inflicts tears in the walls of blood vessels, lead to development of plaques or atherosclerosis

OTHER THE ORGANS WHICH MAY AFFECT BY HYPERTERNTION

• Effects on the Brain

• Effects on the Kidneys

• Effects on the EyesSOURCE: www.livestrong.com/article/117888-effects-hypertension-organs/

•Confusion•Ear noise or buzzing•Fatigue•Headache•Nosebleed

SYMPTOMS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSUREMost of the time, there are no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur include:

RISK FACTORS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

•Family history•Smoking•Lack of Physical activity•Stress and anger•High blood cholesterol•ObesitySource:http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000468.htm

COMPLICATIONS OF HYPERTENSION

UNDERSTANDING CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Coronary artery disease (CAD) is

the most common type of heart disease.

CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed, due to the buildup of cholesterol.

This buildup is called atherosclerosis

SOURCE: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/coronaryarterydisease.html

UNDERSTANDING ANGINA

SOURCE: www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/18048.htm

Angina is a specific type of pain in the chest caused by inadequate blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium).

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF ANGINA

UNDERSTANDING HEART ATTACK

SOURCE: www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/18048.htm

As atherosclerosis grows, less blood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscle can't get the blood or oxygen it needs. This can lead to a Heart attack

Most Heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the hearts' blood supply, causing permanent heart damage.

UNDERSTANDING HEART FAILURE

SOURCE: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/heartfailure.html

• Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood throughout the body.

• Heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. It means that your heart is not able to pump blood the way it should.

UNDERSTANDING HEART FAILURE


The weakening of the heart's pumping ability causes

• Blood and fluid to back up into the lungs

• The buildup of fluid in the feet, ankles and legs - called edema

• Tiredness and shortness of breath

UNDERSTANDING STROKE


Strokes happen when blood flow to your brain stops. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.

The more common kind, called ischemic stroke, is caused by a blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain.

STRATEGIES TO HELP PREVENT HEART DISEASE

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/heart-disease-prevention/WO00041

You can prevent heart disease by following a heart-healthy lifestyle.

1.Don't smoke or use tobaccoChemicals in tobacco can damage

your heart and blood vessels and causes atherosclerosis. When it comes to heart disease prevention, no amount of smoking is safe.


http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/heart-disease-prevention/WO00041

2.Exercise for 30 minutes on most days of the week

Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce strain on your heart.

It also reduces stress, which may be a factor in heart disease.

3. Eat a heart-healthy dietEating foods that are low in fat, cholesterol and salt.

The diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, which can help protect your heart. Beans, and certain types of fish also can reduce your risk of heart disease.



4. Maintain a healthy weightAs you put on weight in

adulthood, your weight gain is mostly fat rather than muscle. This excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease — high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes



One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass index (BMI), determining whether you have a healthy or unhealthy percentage of body fat.

BMI numbers 25 and higher are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.



waist circumference also is a useful tool to measure how much abdominal fat you have:

•Men are considered overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 40 inches

•Women are overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches



5. Get regular health screeningsHigh blood pressure and high

cholesterol can damage your heart and blood vessels.

Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action

BLOOD PRESSURE: •Adults should have their blood pressure checked at least every two years. JNC VII

GUIDELINES



Cholesterol levels: Adults should have their cholesterol measured at least once every five years starting at age 20.



Diabetes screening. Since diabetes is a risk factor for developing heart disease,

Screening be may done some times between ages 30 and 45, and then retesting every three to five years.
