CAD Risk Factors: Non-modifiable - correct answer✔✔age
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

family history ||\\//||




ethnic background ||\\//||




gender



CAD risk factors - correct answer✔✔Age >55
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




male

fam hx
||\\//||




personal hx peripheral vasc/Cerebrovascular disease ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




smoking

lipid abnorm ||\\//||




DM

HTN

obesity

sedentary

cocaine

estrogen use ||\\//||




dyslipidemia - high LDL, low HDL, high triglycerides ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




what happens when LDL becomes oxidized - correct answer✔✔becomes oxidized when
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




exposed to endothelial cells and smooth muscle cell ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,then exposed to macrophages ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




becomes foam cell ||\\//|| ||\\//||




makes up atherosclerotic plaque ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




what does HDL do - correct answer✔✔reverse cholesterol transport
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




returns excess cholesterol from the tissue to the liver where it binds to hepatic receptors and ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




is processed or eliminated as bile or converted to cholesterol-containing steroids
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




protects LDL from oxidation ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




explain the relationship of lipoprotiens and diabetes as a risk factor for CAD - correct ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔lipoproteins can be altered by glycation as a result of high glucose levels which ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




causes a greater integration into macrophages (engulf oxidized LDL) this then accumulates
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




in the arterial wall causing platelet aggregation and smooth muscle proliferation
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




android obesity - correct answer✔✔excess body fat that is placed predominantly within the ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




abdomen and upper body, as opposed to the hips and thighs ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




strongest link with CAD risk r/t insulin resistance, decreased HDL levels, increased blood ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




pressure, and inflammation ||\\//|| ||\\//||




9 P21 - correct answer✔✔genetic variant associated with a strong risk for CAD
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




what is the risk of having an MI in relation to the age that it occurred in a parent - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔inverse relationship ||\\//||




if you have a parent who had an MI at 40 you have a higher risk than someone who's parent
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




had one at 70
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Women typically present with CAD symptoms 10 years earlier than men ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




t/f - correct answer✔✔false ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,lipoprotein (a) and CAD - correct answer✔✔nontraditional risk factor ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




associated with atherosclerosis and thrombosis ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




genetically derived particle ||\\//|| ||\\//||




at risk for premature CAD as well as stroke
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

made in liver ||\\//|| ||\\//||




indirect measure of atherosclerotic plaque-related inflammation/progression ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




inflammatory marker ||\\//||




the more inflammation the more likely to have plaque ruptures
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
