CVD Flashcards
(116 cards)
Globally, heart and circulatory diseases killed an estimated ____ men and ____ women in 2019.
9.8 million and 9.2 million
The most common cardiovascular conditions
coronary (ischemic) heart disease, peripheral arterial (vascular) disease, and stroke
Blood vessels containing blood flowing to the heart (back to the heart)
Veins
BV containing blood from the heart (away)
Arteries
Head, neck, upper limbs (receives blood)
Superior Vena Cava
Trunk, lower, limbs, feet
Inferior Vena Cava
Keep blood moving in the right direction and not flow backwards
Valves
Average repeating contraction and relaxation of the heart.
0.8 second; 75 bpm
The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries.
Cardiac cycle
increased heart rate sometimes as fast as double normal
Fever (high temp)
Thicker blood
increased heart rate
larger heart and stronger, pumps a large volume, increased heart rate
Athlete
faster heart rate, defined in an adult person as more than 100 bpm
Tachycardia
Increase in Bpm for every degree fahrenheit
10 bpm
Increase in bpm in every degree celcius
18 bpm
slow heart rate, fewer than 60 bpm
Bradycardia
Serious abnormality may affect heart health and may cause cardiac arrest
Tachycardia and Bradycardia
“Silent disease”
Hardening of the arteries Thickening of the blood vessel walls specifically caused by the presence of plaque (LDL, cholesterol, Ca, fibrin)
Atherosclerosis
build up, type of arteriosclerosis (plaque)
Atherosclerosis
stiffness
Arteriosclerosis
Insufficient blood flow
Ischemia
necrosis and tissue damage
Myocardial infarction
plaque formation in the endothelium in the artery wall.
Atherogenesis
result to production of less NITRIC OXIDE, blood vessel becomes more restricted, becomes more permeable allows LDL cholesterol to be taken up by macrophages which then accumulates and form foam cells and eventually an early lesion known as a fatty streak.
- Initiate atherosclerosis
- reversible
Endothelial dysfunction
