CARDIO VASCULAR DISEASE
DEFINITION;-
CVD cardio vascular disease is a general
term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. its usually
associated with a build up of fatty deposits inside the arteries (artherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots.
Cvd is the no#1 cause of death in the world
.it ends up 125 lives everyday.
(like 1 life in 12 minutes).
Disorders
of hearts and blood vessels due to CVD:-
Coronary heart disease:- a disease of the blood vessels
supplying the heart muscles due to thrombosis and clots
Cerebrovascular disease:- a disease of blood supplying the
brain
Peripheral arterial disease:- a disease of blood vessels supplying
the arms and legs.
Rheumatic heart disease:- damage to the heart muscles and heart
valves from rheumatic fever ,caused by streptococcal bacteria.
Congenital heart disease:-
Birth defects that affect the
normal development and functioning of
the heart caused by malformations of the heart structure from birth.
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary
embolism:-
Blood cots in the leg veins, which can
dislodge and move to heart and lungs.
Types
of CVD:-
Coronary Artery Disease or CAD:-
CAD is the most common form of heart disease . A hardening or narrowing of
the arteries that lead to the heart characterizes this condition.
Heart Atack or Myocardial infraction:-
unfortunately, for many peoples, a
heart attack may be the first symptoms of heart disease. A heart attack happens
when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked ,disupting blood flow.
Heart Failure or known as congestive
heart failure:-
This cnditions is occurs when stiffness in the heart
prevents the organ from pumping blood adequately through the body.
Heart Valve Disease:-valve disease happens when any of the four valves in the heart
don’t open or close properly and interupt blood flow. If
the deffect in the valve happens at birth,its called congenital heart disease.
Heart Muscles Disease or Cardiomyopathy:-
This condition can lead to heart
failure. It occurs when the heart muscle becomes larger and stiffens,
preventing it from pumping blood away from the heart.
Abnormal Heart Rhythms or Arrhythmia:-
This condition causes a fluctuations in the heartbeat that
happens while at rest. if untreated, arrythmia can be life threatning.
Symptoms
of CVD:-
Chest pain and chest tightness.
Chest pressure and chest Discomfort.
Shortness of Breath.
Pain in the neck , jaw ,throat , upper
belly areas or back.
Pain ,numbness, weakness or coldness in
the legs or arms if the blood vessels in
those body areas are narrowed.
Fattigue ,dizziness and nausea.
Risk
Factors and causes of CVD:-
Lack of exercise.
Stress and high blood pressure.
High cholestrol level.
Diabetes and unhealthy diets
Smoking and alcohol consumption.
Physical inactivity
overweight.
Genetics ( it means it also inherited
from your parents).
Preventions
to control CVD:-
Living a healthy lifestyle.
Avoid smoking.
Eating a balanced food diet.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Exercise regularly (like 30 min walk or
exercise daily).
Reduction of salt and cholestrol in the diet.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Healthy
Diet and Nutrients intake to control CVD;-
Healthy food for heart:-
it includes fruits, vegetables, legumes , whole grains, low fat
diary, lean protein , nuts and vegetable based oils.
Berries are best for heart health like strawberries,blackberries ,rasberries , and blueberries.
Imp Nutrients for heart health:-
like OMEGA 3;- ( obtained from fish ,
salmon , tuna and seed like flexseeds and chia seeds).
2-Vitamins and Minerals:- (legumes
fresh fruits and vegetables are essential for vitamins).
3-Carotenoids and Fibers:- ( red ,yellow ,and orange veggies such as
carrots ,sweet potatos , red pepper, tomatoes and corn
squash).
4-Potassium and Magnesium;- (oranges , catalaupes and papayas)
5-Folic Acid:- (spinach, green leafy vegetables and whole
grains).
Targets
to control CVD:-
Two of the targets directly focus on
preventing and controlling CVDs according to WHO.
Target 1: Reduce global prevalence of
raised blood pressure by 25% between 2010 and 2025.
Target 2: At least 50% of eligible
people should receive drug therapy and counselling (including glycaemic control) to
prevent heart attacks and strokes by 2025.
Achieving these targets will require
significant investment in and strengthening of health systems.
WHO is currently working on increasing
the normative guidance available for the management of acute coronary syndrome
and stroke which will provide guidance in these important areas.
Conclusion:-
CVD is easy to treat just by seeking
immediate medical care.
Take a good diet and reduce cholestrol and salt level.
Remember in every 12 min cvd claims a whole life, its not just a number it’s a life.
It could be your family member , friend
or also may be its you
So just take care of your heart and
join the fight againts the no 1 disease in the world.
