    This document provides information about cardiovascular health and diseases. It describes the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels. It then discusses cardiovascular diseases like hypertension and coronary artery disease. For hypertension, it defines what it is, the types (primary and secondary), risk factors like family history, age, diet and lifestyle factors. It provides tips for prevention like proper nutrition, weight control, smoking cessation, and regular checkups. It concludes by classifying blood pressure into normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hypertension, and stage 2 hypertension categories.

    Cardiovascular Health

    Health teaching by: Genelle Gomez, R.N


    Medical Department
    Topbest Printing Corp.
    Cardiovascular System
    Consists of the heart, blood
    vessels, and blood.
    It is responsible for transporting
    oxygen, nutrients, hormones,
    and cellular waste products
    throughout the body,
    It is powered by the bodys
    hardest-working organ the
    heart,.
    Even at rest, the average heart
    easily pumps over 5 liters of
    blood throughout the body
    every minute
    Cardiovascular System
    The HEART is a muscular pumping organ located medial to the lungs
    along the bodys midline in the thoracic region.
    Cardiovascular Diseases
    Hypertension
    Or high blood pressure is defined as a sustained
    elevation in mean arterial pressure.
    It is NOT A SINGLE DISEASE STATE but a disorder
    with many causes.
    It is a MAJOR RISK FACTOR for the development
    of other CVDs like coronary heart disease and
    stroke.
    Types of Hypertension
    Primary - About 90% of all hypertensives have no
    definite cause.
    Secondary usually the result some other primary
    diseases such as kidney disease.

    In this health teaching, we will focus on PRIMARY


    HYPERTENSION which is more common.
    Primary Hypertension
    It is also called as Idiopathic hypertension.
    The exact cause is unknown, but it is attributed
    to atherosclerosis.
    Risk factors of Hypertension
    There is no single cause for primary hypertension.
    Risk factors include:
    Family History
    Advancing age
    Race
    High salt intake
    Lifestyle factors:
    Obesity
    Excess alcohol consumption
    Intake of Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium
    Stress
    Use of contraceptive drugs
    Risk factors of Hypertension
    Family History people with a positive family
    history of HPN are twice at risk.
    Age Older people are at greater risk for HPN.
    High Salt Intake some people are more
    susceptible than others to effects of increased salt
    intake.
    Obesity risk is 2x greater among overweight /
    obese persons.
    Excessive alcohol intake 10% of HPN cases are
    related to alcohol consumption. Regular
    consumption of 3 or more drinks per day increased
    the risk of HPN.
    Prevention of Hypertension
    Proper Nutrition - reduce salt & fat intake
    Prevent becoming overweight / obese weight
    reduction through proper nutrition and exercise.
    Smoking Cessation tobacco use promotes
    atherosclerosis that may contribute to
    hypertension.
    People with risk factors should have regular
    check-ups and modification of risk factors.
    BP Classification
    Systolic BP / Diastolic BP Category
    Less than 120/80 mmHg Normal
    120-139 / 80-89 mmHg Pre-Hypertension
    Greater than 140/90 mmHg Hypertension
    140-159 / 90-99 mmHg Hypertension Stage 1
    Greater than 160/100 mmHg Hypertension Stage 2
    Coronary Artery Disease
