Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It is measured as systolic (when the heart contracts) over diastolic (when the heart relaxes) pressure. High blood pressure can damage organs over time and lead to complications like stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol, and stress. Prevention involves weight control, reducing sodium, exercising regularly, moderating alcohol, quitting smoking, and managing stress. Treatment may include medications like diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers.

Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It affects nearly 5 million Americans and is common, though not the same as a heart attack. The main symptoms are fatigue, limited activity, chest congestion, swelling, and shortness of breath. While there is no cure, early diagnosis and treatment with medications like diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers can slow the progression, prevent hospitalization, and save lives for those living with heart failure.
Cardiovascular disease2
Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the heart and blood vessels, including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. It remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, family history, age, sex, and certain ethnic backgrounds. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking, and controlling blood pressure and glucose levels can help prevent cardiovascular disease.
Alcohol[2][1]

Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases affect the heart and blood vessels. There are two main types of stroke caused by lack of blood flow to the brain due to blood clots or plaque buildup in arteries. Hyperlipidemia is a high level of fats in the blood that increases risk of diseases, while excess body fat also increases health risks. Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce insulin or produces very little. The muscular system contains muscles with characteristics like excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of disease incidence, distribution, and causes in populations. It concentrates on identifying associations and potential causes of disease in populations in order to prevent disease. Epidemiological data can be obtained through surveys, morbidity and mortality data, disease registers, medical records, and screening. The major challenge is accurately identifying the true causes of observed patterns, especially when multiple potential causes and underlying factors are involved. Descriptive studies report disease variations and putative causes to suggest hypotheses, while analytical studies quantify risks associated with potential factors. Intervention studies assess the effects of planned interventions using control groups to compare outcomes. Prevention efforts include primary prevention by removing causes, secondary prevention through screening and early detection/treatment, and tertiary prevention

This document discusses coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. It begins by describing how atherosclerosis develops from early in life, often remaining clinically silent until age 60. Risk factors for atherosclerosis are then outlined, including age, family history, smoking, hypertension, and more. The stages of atherosclerosis and types of coronary heart disease like stable angina, unstable angina, and myocardial infarction are defined. Diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention strategies for coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis are explained.
Heart attack
This document provides information about heart attacks, including:
- What causes a heart attack - plaque buildup in arteries restricting blood flow and a plaque rupture causing a blood clot blockage.
- Warning signs of a heart attack like chest pain or discomfort.
- The importance of not delaying and calling emergency services within 5 minutes of symptoms starting.
- Misconceptions about what a heart attack feels like and that symptoms can be mild.
- Risk factors for heart attacks including age, family history, smoking, diabetes, cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. It is the most common type of heart disease and leading cause of death in the US. CAD develops over many decades as risk factors like smoking, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and diabetes damage artery walls. It can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attack, or heart failure if left untreated. Diagnosis involves tests like ECGs, stress tests and angiograms. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures like stents or bypass surgery to improve blood flow.

Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot adequately pump blood to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by conditions like coronary artery disease, heart attacks, or viruses. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and coughing. Medications help decrease cardiac workload and fluid retention. Community paramedics help with medication compliance by identifying reasons for non-compliance and providing education. They monitor for signs of acute heart failure like sudden fluid buildup or rapid heartbeat. Proper medical care of CHF can improve symptoms, though lifestyle changes and lifelong treatment are usually needed.
Non-Communicable Diseases
The document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer. It lists key factors that can increase the risk of developing NCDs like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, alcohol use, and air pollution. The document then focuses on diabetes, providing information on types of diabetes, symptoms, diet and lifestyle management, and potential complications.
Heart disease - The silent killer
Presentation delivered to nursing students in Gibraltar in 2002, and also used in cardiac rehab sessions. Includes local statistics.
Chronic heart failure
This document provides an overview of chronic heart failure, including its definition, causes, symptoms, tests, treatments, and long-term management. Chronic heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump sufficiently, and it is usually caused by conditions that damage the heart muscle such as heart attacks. Common symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and ankle swelling. Tests like echocardiograms and blood tests are used to diagnose and classify the severity of heart failure. Treatments include lifestyle modifications, medications like ACE inhibitors and diuretics, and procedures such as cardiac resynchronization therapy. Long-term care involves managing issues like depression, end-of-life discussions, and palliative care.
