Those who are the vulnerable will have specific genes they inherit from their relatives, who were impacted by the condition. This increases their chances of having similar complications when they become older. (Kolata, 2010)
Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension
Congestive heart failure and hypertension are interconnected with each other. According to a study conducted by the University of Texas, they found that there are 660 thousand new cases reported each year. This is accounting for 7% of all deaths associated with cardio vascular disease. One of the biggest factors that will determine if someone is at risk is hypertension. As this is used in 75% of all cases, to predict if someone will be impacted by congestive heart failure and the long-term effects it will have on them. (Merla, 2009)
Hypertension can lead to complications by increasing the chances of ventricle or systolic dysfunction taking place. This improves the chances of someone being impacted by these complications and the lasting effects it will have on them. For health care professionals, this allows them to understand how it is related to cardiovascular disease, the complications and the impact it will have on the health of the patient. (Merla,...
The way that it occurs is through an increase in the person's blood pressure. This will serve as a warning sign of possible complications. If it is not addressed, their condition will continue to become worse until they have complications. This can result in a fatal stroke or heart attack. (Merla, 2009) (Kolata, 2010) ("Heart Disease and Stroke," 2012)

Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Disorders I selected case study 1, whereby we have a patient by the name AO who has been diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. In addition to having obesity history, the patient has gained approximately 9 pounds in the recent past. She has been prescribed with several drugs, namely: 1. Atenolol 12.5 mg daily. Being a beta blocker, this drug impacts the patient’s circulation and heart. Administered orally, its rate
Although the severities of congestive signs may be similar, medical evaluation should be instructed to determine whether there is accompanying proof of cardiovascular disease. Physical proof of cardiovascular disease contains the narrow pulse pressure, cool arms, and legs, and sometimes changed mentation, with supporting proof sometimes provided by reducing serum sodium level and deteriorating renal function. Cardiovascular disease is frequently difficult to recognize through phone contact but may be
Cardiovascular diseases' is an umbrella term representing a number of disorders known to affect the heart and blood vessels. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is higher than that attributable to any other disease. However, people who live in low-income nations are more prone to death from CVDs than those who live high-income nations. People in Low-Income Countries More Likely to
Therefore, it is very crucial for all the nurses examining the athletes to carefully differentiate the murmurs of the behaviors of athletes and recommend if it is safe for them to continue sports behaviour. Discussion 2: Anaphylactic Shock Anaphylaxis shock is a very dangerous and life threatening allergy reaction that needs right, quick and aggressive treatment on time. Due to lack of recognition, the exact evidence of this condition is difficult
The first heart sound is generally longer and lower than the second, producing a heartbeat that sounds like lub-dup, lub-dup, lub-dup. Blood pressure, the pressure exerted on the walls of blood vessels by the flowing blood, also varies during different phases of the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure in the arteries is higher during systole, when the ventricles are contracting, and lower during diastole, as the blood ejected during systole moves
Cardiac Disorders and Sleep Apnea The objective of this study is to ascertain the relationship between cardiac disorders and sleep apnea. Toward this end, this work will examine the research on this area of study.
