African American and Cardiovascular disease
The risk of CAD among this population is increased, mainly bc
of DM, HTN, and CAD p.559
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta w/ aortic diameter
of 3.0 cm or more, or 50 % increase in diameter compared with
the adjacent normal segment p.533
risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA development
Tobacco use, hypercholesterolemia, HTN, male gender, family
history (male predominance) p.534
risk factors for AAA expansion
advanced age, severe cardiac disease, previous stroke, tobacco
use, cardiac or renal transplant p.534
risk factors for AAA rupture
female gender, low FEV, larger initial AAA diameter, higher
mean BP, current tobacco use, cardiac or renal transplant,
critical wall stress-wall strength relationship p.534
assessment of AAA rupture
Hypotension, pulsatile abdominal mass, and abdominal pain or
back pain p.534
Symptoms of AAA
, sensation of abdominal discomfort, back pain, pulsation of
abdomen, or flank pain. Less frequently individuals may
complain of pain in the legs, chest or groin area.
They may also report anorexia, nausea, vomiting, or dyspnea
Treatment of AAA
Patient w/ an AAA of 4cm or larger should be referred to a
vascular physician.
Open surgical repair is the classic and generally reliable
approach.
Endovascular stent grafts repair (EVAR) is the preferred
surgical repair for ruptured aneurysms as recommended by the
Society of vascular surgery p.536
ASCVD risks factors 1st category
The first group includes those in need of secondary prevention
who have demonstrated clinical ASCVD.
defined as history of MI, stable and unstable angina, coronary or
other arterial revascularization, stroke, TIA, or peripheral
vascular disease (PVD). p576
ASCVD risks factors 2nd category
Involves patients in need of primary prevention. Those patient
with elevation of low density lipo-protein cholesterol(LDL-C)
above 190mg/dl w/o secondary cause such as high saturated fats
or causative drugs. p.576
