▪ This is when is when the arteries that supply blood to heart

muscle become hardened and narrowed.

▪ This is caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that
supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries). Plaque is
made up of cholesterol deposits. Plaque buildup causes the
inside of the arteries to narrow over time. This process is
called atherosclerosis.
▪ The disease will have little to no affect to the BODY in its
very early stages, but as time advance, the disease can
decrease the blood flow to the HEART.
• Pain, discomfort, pressure, tightness, numbness, or
burning sensation in your chest, arms, shoulders, back,
upper abdomen, or jaw

• Dizziness
• Weakness or fatigue
• Nausea or vomiting
• Indigestion or heartburn
❏ The life expectancy heart disease all depends on the
age you have been diagnosed with it.
❏ if you are diagnosed at 35 then mals have 3.1 years of
life expectancy and female have 3.3 years , then at 80
you have 8 more years to live
▪ socioeconomic status and health contributes to risk
factors for cardiovascular disease.
▪ If you are of a higher class you will have more of an
advantage to treat or prevent the disease rather than
a person of lower class
▪
❏ Cholesterol-modifying medications. By decreasing the amount of cholesterol in the
blood, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or the "bad") cholesterol, these drugs
decrease the primary material that deposits on the coronary arteries. doctors choose
from a range of medications, including statins, niacin, fibrates and bile acid
sequestrants. can include intestinal problems, liver damage (rare), and muscle
inflammation.
❏ Aspirin.. This can reduce the tendency of your blood to clot, which may help prevent
obstruction of your coronary arteries.
If you've had a heart attack, aspirin can help prevent future attacks. There are some
cases where aspirin isn't appropriate, such as if you have a bleeding disorder or you're
already taking another blood thinner, so ask your doctor before starting to take aspirin.

severe nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain;

bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;

fever lasting longer than 3 days; or.

swelling, or pain lasting longer than 10 days

❏ Beta blockers. These drugs slow your heart rate and decrease your blood pressure,
which decreases your heart's demand for oxygen. If you've had a heart attack, beta
blockers reduce the risk of future attacks. Dizzness , weakness, drowsiness of fatigue
▪ Eat a healthy, balanced diet
▪ A low-fat, high-fibre diet is recommended, which should include
plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (five portions a day) and whole
grains.
▪ Limiting the amount of salt you eat to no more than 6g (0.2oz) a
day as too much salt will increase your blood pressure. 6g of salt
is about one teaspoonful.
▪ Be more physically active
▪ Combining a healthy diet with regular exercise is the best way of
maintaining a healthy weight. Having a healthy weight reduces
your chances of developing high blood pressure.
▪
▪ Regular exercise will make your heart and blood circulatory
system more efficient, lower your cholesterol level, and also keep
your blood pressure at a healthy level.
