Seizure vs. EpilepsyNot all people who have seizures have epilepsy….
Seizures
...a brief, temporary disturbance in the electrical activity of the
brain.
Epilepsy
...a chronic disorder withrecurrent, unprovoked Seizures. People with
epilepsy have different types of seizures.

Cardiac Disease
Cardiac Disease, or heart disease, includes many different
medical conditions which affect the heart’s ability to
work effectively.
In an average lifetime, the heart beats more than 2 1/2 billion times, without ever pausing to
rest. Like a pumping machine, the heart provides the power needed for life.
Can a lot of things go wrong? YES!

How does the heart
work?

Common Types
Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease is America's No.1
killer, affecting more than 13 million Americans. Damage or
disease in the heart’s major blood vessels.
Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly) An enlarged heart (cardiomegaly)
can have various causes. But it's usually caused by high blood
pressure (hypertension) or coronary artery disease.
Heart Attack A blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle.
Irregular Heart Rhythm An irregular, often rapid heart rate that
causes poor blood flow.
Atrial Fibrillation It's the most common kind of irregular
heartbeat.
Heart Rhythm Disorders Irregular heart rhythms can cause the
pumping function of the heart to fail. Typically involves
abnormalities in heart rate, beats, sites where electrical impulses
originate, or sequence of activation of heartbeats.
Heart Valve Disease All four valves can be hardened, restricting
blood flow (stenotic) or the valve may not close tightly which
creates a “leaky valve”
Sudden Cardiac Death This is the cause of half of
all heart disease deaths. It is a sudden, unexpected
loss of heart function, breathing, and
consciousness.
Congenital Heart Disease An abnormality in the
heart that develops before birth.
Heart Muscle Disease (Cardiomyopathy) An
acquired or hereditary disease of the heart muscle.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy The heart’s ability to
pump blood is decreased because the left ventricle
(the heart’s main pumping chamber) is enlarged
and weakened.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy HCM. The heart’s
muscle becomes abnormally thick.
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy The rarest form of
heart-muscle disease. The contractile function
(squeeze) of the heart and wall thickness are
usually normal, but the relaxation or filling phase
of the heart is very abnormal.
Heart Rhythm Disorders Irregular heart
rhythms can cause the pumping function of
the heart to fail. Typically involves
abnormalities in heart rate, beats, sites where
electrical impulses originate, or sequence of
activation of heartbeats.
Heart Valve Disease All four valves can be
hardened, restricting blood flow (stenotic) or
the valve may not close tightly which creates a
“leaky valve”
Pericarditis A swelling and irritation of the thin
sac-like membrane surrounding the heart
(pericardium).
Pericardial Effusion Fluid around the heart can
be caused by various types of
infection/inflammation or cancer, kidney
disease or heart surgery. This fluid can impair
heart function.
Marfan Syndrome This inherited genetic defect
weakens connective tissues -- including those
in the heart.
Heart Murmurs Most heart murmurs are
innocent: They are caused by blood flowing
through healthy valves in a healthy heart and
do not require treatment. However, heart
murmurs can be caused by blood flowing
through a damaged or overworked heart valve.

So how can we help? Know about your client!
What is their heart condition?
What medications are they on?
What is risk factors are in their natural environment?
Leisure education will be an important part of the CTRS’s work to help them
reduce risk factors.
