2 sub things of CHD
cardiac arrest
angina
what is cardiac arrest
heart stops pumping due to blocked arteries reducing oxygen to heart muscle
symptoms of angina
chest pain caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle
how does angina happen
when coronary arteries are narrowed by fatty deposits (atherosclerosis)
treatment of cardiac arrest
defibrillation
treatment of angina
medication
chd poor diet risk factor
high in saturated fats, salts, sugar - increase weight, bp + cholestrol
chd lack of exercise risk factor
poor circulation, higher weight
chd alcohol risk factor
raises BP and cholesterol
chd diabetes risk factor
high blood sugar damages arteries increasing fat buildup
chd smoking risk factor
damage blood vessels, reducing oxygen in blood
chd high blood pressure risk factor
damages artery walls, making it easier for fatty plaques to build up
chd high cholesterol risk factor
causes fatty deposits in arteries - narrow - less blood flow to heart
chd family history risk factor
genetic predisposition to CHD
chd obsesity risk factor
increases strain on heart often linked to high cholesterol + type 2 diabetes
what is type 2 diabetes
when body cells become resistant to insulin or the pancreas doesnβt produce enough insulin
what does high blood sugar (diabetes) do
damages blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, eyes, and heart over time
weight as a diabetes risk factor
weight around abdomen increases insulin resistance
smoking as a diabetes risk factor
increases insulin resistance
alcohol as a diabetes risk factor
can cause spikes or drops in blood sugar
lack of exercise as a diabetes risk factor
reduces insulin sensitivity
contributes to weight gain
poor diet as a diabetes risk factor
high sugar leads to blood sugar spikes and insulin resistance
