Peripheral Arterial Disease
This document discusses peripheral arterial disease (PAD), including:
1. PAD affects 12-20% of Americans over age 65 and those with diabetes have a 3x higher risk. PAD is often asymptomatic so it can be difficult to detect.
2. Symptoms of PAD include claudication (leg pain with exercise), fatigue, numbness, and rest pain. Untreated PAD can lead to critical limb ischemia and amputation.
3. Screening for PAD through ankle-brachial index measurements is recommended for diabetics over 50 and younger diabetics with risk factors to detect disease early before complications arise.
4. Treatment options for PAD include lifestyle changes, medications, endovascular procedures like
peripheral vascular disease
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) refers to narrowed, blocked, or spasming blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It is commonly caused by atherosclerosis which leads to the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries (atherosclerotic plaques). Symptoms range from mild intermittent leg pain with walking (intermittent claudication) to severe leg or foot pain at rest or skin ulcers/gangrene of the lower leg or foot. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications to reduce pain, plaque, or blood clotting, and potentially minimally invasive or open surgical procedures to restore blood flow if more conservative options are ineffective.

Peripheral vascular disease (pvd) is a slow blood circulation disorder that leads to blockage in blood vessels, outside your heart and brain.
Peripheral Vascular Diseases
The document discusses peripheral vascular diseases, which occur when blood flow to the peripheral vessels is reduced, potentially leading to ischemia and tissue damage. It describes the layers of arteries and veins, and compares arterial and venous disorders. Specific conditions covered include atherosclerosis, arterial insufficiency, venous insufficiency, thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), Raynaud's phenomenon, aneurysms, arterial embolism, and thrombophlebitis. Risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, and management approaches are discussed for each condition.
Cardiac stress test
Cardiac stress tests are used to diagnose coronary artery disease by assessing how the heart responds to induced stress. Stress can be induced through exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike or through pharmacological agents. The test measures for changes in electrocardiography, echocardiography, or nuclear imaging before and after stress is applied to detect any signs of ischemia. Stress tests are indicated for diagnosing chest pain, prior heart attacks, or post-revascularization and help evaluate the heart's response to physical or drug stimulation.
Cardiac surgeries
The document discusses Cardiopulmonary Bypass Machines (CPBM), also known as heart-lung machines. It describes the components and working of CPBMs, which take over the functions of the heart and lungs during cardiac surgery by oxygenating and pumping blood throughout the body. The main purposes of CPBMs are to allow cardiac surgeons to operate on a still heart and provide oxygenated blood circulation when the heart is stopped. Risks associated with CPBM use include blood clots, inflammation, and bleeding complications.
Peripheral vascular disease
This document summarizes peripheral artery diseases, which affect arteries outside the chest and abdomen. It describes occlusive arterial disease (OAD), the most common type, which is usually caused by atherosclerosis. Risk factors for OAD include smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Patients present with symptoms like claudication, rest pain, ulcers or gangrene. Examination involves checking pulse strength and ankle-brachial pressure indices. Investigations include blood tests and imaging like ultrasound and angiography to locate blockages. Treatment options include medical management, endovascular procedures like angioplasty and stenting, bypass surgery, or amputation in severe cases.

hypertension or blood pressure
This document defines hypertension and describes its causes, types, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, is defined as a systolic pressure over 140 mm Hg or diastolic over 90 mm Hg. It has two main types: primary (essential) hypertension which has no identifiable cause, and secondary hypertension which is caused by an underlying condition like kidney disease. Treatment involves lifestyle changes and may include diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, or calcium channel blockers to lower blood pressure. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and medication adherence are important for managing the condition and preventing complications like heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.
Blood coagulation
Blood coagulation is the process by which blood forms clots. Abnormally formed clots can block blood flow and lead to dangerous conditions. Common causes of clots include injuries, surgeries, and genetic/lifestyle risk factors. Symptoms depend on where the clot forms but may include chest pain, leg swelling, or neurological issues. Treatment involves anticoagulant medications and lifestyle changes to prevent future clots. Doctors use tests like ultrasounds and CT scans to diagnose clots and monitor patients' response to treatment.
CVDs & their MNTs
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The document discusses four common CVDs: coronary artery disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral arterial disease. Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries supplying the heart. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced. Myocardial infarction, also called a heart attack, happens when blood flow to the heart is reduced or stopped. Peripheral arterial disease is caused by blockages in the arteries supplying the arms and legs. The document provides details on the causes, risk factors, symptoms, tests, and treatment recommendations for managing these four cardiovascular conditions.
Cardiovascular Diseases.pptx
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a broad term encompassing various heart and blood vessel conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. It is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which leads to narrowed and blocked arteries. Several risk factors contribute to CVD, such as an unhealthy lifestyle, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, family history, age, and physical inactivity. Preventive measures involve adopting a healthy lifestyle, managing risk factors through medications and regular check-ups, and considering medical procedures when necessary. Awareness of CVD's impact on health, coupled with early intervention and lifestyle changes, can significantly reduce the burden of this life-threatening condition.

Congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of your heart muscles. While often referred to simply as “heart failure,” CHF specifically refers to the stage in which fluid builds up around the heart and causes it to pump inefficiently. You have four heart chambers.
HEART__DISEASE[1].pptx
Heart disease is a broad term used to describe several diseases that affect the heart. Some common types of heart disease include coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Heart disease is often caused by risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. Symptoms of heart disease can include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, pain in the neck, and indigestion or heartburn. Tests like electrocardiograms, stress tests, and angiography are used to diagnose heart disease. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and controlling blood pressure are recommended for treating and preventing heart disease.
hypertension and diabetes - risk factors for Myocardial infarction
Hypertension, heart attack, and diabetes were discussed. Hypertension is high blood pressure, which can be caused by factors like salt intake, obesity, and genetics. Untreated hypertension can lead to heart failure, kidney damage, and stroke. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing heart muscle death. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol. Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce or properly use insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can cause complications like blindness, kidney disease, and heart disease if not managed properly through lifestyle changes, medication, and insulin as needed.

1. CCF occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, causing fluid buildup in tissues.
2. Risk factors include age, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and coronary artery disease. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling.
3. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, chest X-ray, echocardiogram and blood tests. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, procedures and managing underlying causes.
Hypertension
This document discusses guidelines for classifying and managing hypertension. It defines classifications of normal, prehypertension, and stages 1 and 2 hypertension based on systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. It outlines an algorithm for treating hypertension that begins with lifestyle modifications and progresses to adding different classes of drug therapies to reach blood pressure goals. Special considerations are discussed for various patient populations like children, women, and older adults.

Ichthyosis vulgaris is a genetic skin condition caused by a mutation in the filaggrin gene. It causes thick, dry scales to accumulate on the skin due to an inability to shed dead skin cells. It affects about 1 in 200 people and causes itchy, flaky skin that can crack and become infected. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on moisturizing the skin and using medications to slow skin cell production and relieve symptoms.
Fatty liver
Fatty liver, also known as steatosis, is a condition where fat builds up in the liver. It is common and reversible through lifestyle changes. Fatty liver may cause no symptoms and does not typically cause permanent damage. It is diagnosed through blood tests, ultrasound imaging showing white fatty areas of the liver, or liver biopsy. Risk factors include obesity, diabetes, excessive alcohol use, malnutrition, and certain medications. Treatment focuses on managing underlying conditions and making healthy lifestyle modifications to reduce fat in the liver. The two main types are alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by heavy drinking and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which has other potential causes like obesity, genetics, or high cholesterol.

Symptoms vary but include severe vertigo attacks that cause nausea and vomiting, as well as tinnitus. There is no cure, but treatment focuses on fluid reduction through diet, medication
Liver disease
The liver is located under the rib cage and is essential for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, eliminating toxins, and storing vitamins and minerals. Liver disease can be genetic, caused by viruses like hepatitis, or damage from excessive alcohol intake or obesity. Over time, liver damage leads to scarring called cirrhosis and can cause liver failure. Symptoms of liver disease include jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue, and bruising easily. Treatment depends on the cause but may include lifestyle changes, medication, or transplantation for severe liver failure. Prevention involves limiting alcohol, vaccinations for hepatitis if at risk, taking medications properly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Generally, a client with a diagnosis of PVD has arterial disease (peripheral arterial disease {PAD}) rather than venous involvement. Some clients have both arterial and venous disease
- 3. The causes of Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) depend on its type. The organic and functional Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) has separate causes. In Organic PVD there is a change in the structure of blood vessels, causing damage in the tissue, plaques and inflammation, which causes your blood vessels to narrow. Common causes of Organic PVD are: High Blood Pressure High Cholesterol Smoking Diabetes Injuries
