Test 3--Ch23 Mgt of pts w/ coronary vascular disorders
UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent cardiovascular disorder
Nonmodifiable Risk Factors for CAD •History of premature menopause (before age 40) or pregnancy-associated
disorders such as preeclampsia
• Primary hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition resulting in elevated LDL)
• Chronic inflammatory conditions such as RA, lupus, HIV/AIDS
Modifiable Risk Factors for CAD •Hyperlipidemia
• Tobacco use
• Hypertension
• Diabetes
*METABOLIC SYDROME*
• Obesity
Physical inactivity
Prevention of CAD -Control Cholesterol
-Mediterranean Diet
-Physical Activity➡reg/mod 150min/wk
-"statins", Fibrin acids, & Bile Acids (resins)
, Metabolic Syndrome MAJOR RISK FOR DEVELOPING CAD!!!
How is it diagnosed?
Diagnosis of 3 or more of the following:
Enlarged waist circumference
Triglycerides > 175 mg/dL
HDL < 40 mg/dL
SBP > 130 mmHg and/or DBP > 80mmHg
FBS (glucose) > 100mg/dL on 2 separate occasions or currently on medication
for elevated glucose
LDL, Total Cholesterol, HDL, & Triglycerides normal THESE LABS NEED TO BE DONE EVERY 5 YRS➡PPL >20YRS OLD
Values:
LDL < 100 mg/dL – target of therapy
Total cholesterol < 200 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol > 40 mg/dL for males and > 50 mg/dL for females
Triglycerides < 150 mg/dL
FBG 70-100
LDL normal range < 100 mg/dL – target of therapy
Total Cholesterol < 200 mg/dL
HDL > 40 mg/dL for males and > 50 mg/dL for females
Triglycerides < 150 mg/dL
FBG 70-100
Difference between Atherosclerosis & Arteriosclerosis= Hard Artery➡Lumen loses elasticity
Arteriosclerosis: Atherosclerosis= Fatty plaque build up in artery
Atherosclerosis “plaque build up”
-Inflammatory response ➡macrophages transport lipids into arterial walls
(fatty streaks).
-Has to do w/ modifiable issues that we can fix
-Progresses over years.
*DON'T CONFUSE ATHEROSCLEROSIS WITH ARTERIOSCLEROSIS*
