Inhibitors

Angiotensin is a hormone that makes the veins contract or get littler. This raises a man's circulatory strain. By lessening angiotensin levels, veins extend. Blood streams less demanding through the amplified veins, and pulse is diminished. A specialist would recommend an ACE inhibitor for individuals with hypertension or heart Failure in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the body's requests. These prescriptions are additionally essential post-heart attack. This is on the grounds that they can keep a future occasion and they likewise help the heart muscle recoup from the absence of oxygen amid the heart assault. Cases of these meds incorporate benazepril (Lotensin), ramipril (Altacte), and captopril (Capoten). Angiotensin II Receptor

Blockers/Inhibitors (ARBs)

Not at all like ACE inhibitors, have ARBs totally hindered the impacts of angiotensin II on the heart. This impact brings down circulatory strain. Specialists endorse this prescription to congestive heart disappointment patients and patients with hypertension. ARBs and ACE inhibitors have comparable capacities and purposes.

In recent trials, digoxin has shown reduce morbidity associated with congestive heart failure. The goal of digitalis therapy to improve quality of life of congestive heart failure Patients by reducing symptoms and preventing hospitalizations.[2] Digitalis

toxicity is a complication of digitalis therapy due to more consumption of the drug at one time. The incidence of digitalis toxicity has been estimated from 5% to 23%. The digitalis intoxication is not only depends on dose but also interaction by other medications.[3] Recognition of cardiac glycosides toxicity is one of the main steps in management of toxicity.[4] In addition, adverse events occur because nurses are well trained towards the patients’ care, but less trained towards the potential error.

BACKGROUND

Vital sign measurements are a basic series of physiological assessment that reflects the client’s health status. The Nurse uses these data when making clinical decisions. The Nurse is often the one who determines the need for and frequency of vital sign assessment.[1] Assessment of vital sign is not simply a routine task but rather an integral part of the nursing process. Blood pressure (BP) measurement is an important clinical nursing skill.[2] The clinical nursing skills for the Nurses are paramount important not only to provide comprehensive care but also enhance clinical competence.[3]

Measurement of a patient’s BP is one of the most common and basic medical assessments. However, errors in measuring Blood pressure often occur. Most errors result because overestimates of Blood

pressure, which could result almost twice as many patients’ receiving the diagnosis of hypertension as actually have high Blood pressure. Many errors result in variability of readings and cause confusion regarding Blood pressure status.[4]

The AHA recommends that at least two readings be taken, with a one-minute interval between them, and the average of the measurements recorded. The first reading of the series is usually the highest. Additional readings should be taken if the difference between the first two is greater than 5 mm Hg.[5] Small inaccuracies in Blood pressure measurement can have considerable consequence. Overestimating true Blood pressure by 5mm Hg would lead to inappropriate treatment with antihypertensive medications with exposure to adverse drug effects, the

Lifestyle Diseases Swallows India

Usha Sanjeev Professor, Govt. College of Nursing, Kottayam, Kerala, India

Communicable diseases like malaria, cholera and polio have become manageable due to recent advancements in medicines. Now a new breed of diseases called’ lifestyle diseases’ has developed. Globally 14.2 million people between the 30-69 years of ages die prematurely every year from these diseases. These diseases have emerged as bigger killers than infectious or hereditary ones. Tobacco use, unhealthy diets and physical inactivity are the risk factors for these diseases. Life style diseases include obesity, type II diabetes, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, swimmer’s ear, cancer, stroke, COPD, cirrhosis and nephritis. The National Family Health Survey figures suggest that currently India ranks second with 155 million obese citizens and are increasing at 33-51% every year. The International Diabetes Federation suggests that India has the largest number of people who suffer with type 2 diabetes at around 40.9 million people. Around 30% to 40% of cardiovascular deaths happen in India among the age group of 34–64 years of age. India ranks No.1 in cardiac patients,

around 50 million people in India suffer from heart problems. In India, more than 100 million people have high blood pressure. An estimated of 12.5% have suffered permanent damage to their hearing in India from excessive exposure to noise, and the number is growing each year. Cancer killed almost 556,400 people across the country in 2011. Indian studies have shown that about 10% to 15% of strokes occur in people below the age of 40 years. In India, approximately 36,149 people die each year due to cirrhosis. Around 39,480 deaths are estimated due to nephritis each year in India. Lifestyle diseases are preventable for the children if parents set them on the correct path, as our early life decisions and influences can impact us later on in life. All causes of lifestyle disease can be prevented through giving up smoking and alcohol, processed meats (sausages), red meats (pork, beef and lamb), fatty foods and by engaging in daily exercise. Hence, we have to take a step back and relearn how to lead physically active disease-free lives.
