___ in ___ Americas die each year from CVD.

Back 2

1 in 3

Front 3

_____ heart disease is the most prevalent form of CVD.

Back 3

Coronary Heart Disease

Front 4

This is known as "hardening of the arteries" and is a general term for the thickening and hardening of the arteries.

Back 4

Arteriosclerosis

Front 5

A type of arteriosclerosis. IT is an inflammatory and a progressive condition in which fatty patches (deposits of cholesterol and other lipids) accumulate under the lining of coronoary arteries.

Back 5

Atherosclerosis

Front 6

Atherosclerosis may lead to this. This pain/ discomfort occurs when a coronary artery becomes partially blocked, causing oxygen debt in the heart muscle.

Back 6

Angina Pectoris

Front 7

This results when one mor more of the coronary arteries is partially blocked by atherosclerotic deposits called plaque.

Back 7

Myocardial Infarction (MI)
AKA: Heart Attack

Front 8

This occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted either by a blockage or by a burst blood vessel (cerebral hemorrhage).

Back 8

Stroke

Front 9

The conditions, situations, and behaviors taht increase the likelihood that an undesirable outcome (injury, illness, or death) will occur.

Back 9

Risk Factors

Front 10

These risk factors are linked directly to the development of CVD, they increase the possibility of having a heart attack and stroke.

Back 10

Primary Risk Factors

Front 11

Most primary risk factors are controllable. True or False?

Back 11

True

Front 12

What are the 10 primary CVD risk factors?

Back 12

1.) Inactivity
2.) High Blood Pressure
3.) High Blod Lipid Level
4.) Smokiing
5.) Obesity
6.) Diabetes (type 1 and 2)
7.) Positive Family History
8.) Male Genedered and Post Menopausal Women
9.) Race
10.) Age

Front 13

The ______ contribute to the development of CVD but not as directly as the _______ do.

Back 13

1.) Secondary Risk Factors
2.) Primary Risk Factors

Front 14

What are the 6 secondary CVD risk factors?

Back 14

1.) Individual Response to Stress
2.)Anger and Hostility (Emotional Behavior)
3.) Excessive Alcohol
4.) Metabolic Syndrome
5.) C-Reactive Protein
6.) Homocysteine

Front 15

All of the secondary risk factors are controllable. True or False?

Back 15

True

Front 16

What are the four uncontrollable risk factors for CVD?

Back 16

1.) Race
2.) Age
3.) Family History
4.) Gender

Front 17

What is the most common CVD threat?

Back 17

Innactivity

Front 18

Prehypertension means that the person has a blood pressure as what?

Back 18

120/80

Front 19

_____ nearly triples CVD risk for men and doubles it for women.

Back 19

Hypertension

Front 20

Systolic Pressure means what? This is also the upper number of the blood pressure reading.....

Back 20

The pumping pressure, when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries.

Front 21

The force of the blood against the arteries when the heart relaxes and fills with blood between beats (also known as the resting pressure).

Back 21

Diastolic

Front 22

Normal Blood Pressure is ___/___ or below.

Back 22

119/79

Front 23

Prehypertension is acknowledged as blood pressure between 120/80 and ___/____ and calls for lifestyle changes and monitoring.

Back 23

139/89

Front 24

Hypertension measures at ____/____ or more and requires medical treatment.

Back 24

140/90

Front 25

This type of cholesterol carries out cholesterol from the liver to the rest of the body. These also attach very easily to artery walls and form plaque leading to CVD.

Back 25

LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins)

Front 26

These types of proteins take the cholesterol from the rest of the body to the liver. These also act as a garabage disposal and remove plaque and buildup along the way.

Back 26

HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)

Front 27

If you have a high LDL level, you may want to increase your HDL level by eating a low fat diet etc. True or False?

Back 27

True

Front 28

What is the desired amount for total cholesterol in the body?

Back 28

Below 200 mg/dL

Front 29

What is the optimal LDL Level of cholesterol in the body?

Back 29

Below 100 mg/dL

Front 30

What is the optimal HDL level of cholesterol in the body?

Back 30

60 mg/dL or above

Front 31

What are the warning signs of a stroke?

Back 31

Numbness, Shortness of Breath, Loss of Feeling in Extremities, Dizziness, etc.

Front 32

This is also known as syndrome X, insulin-resistance syndrome and prediabetes syndrome—is a dangerous cluster of symptoms that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers.

Back 32

Metabolic Syndrome

Front 33

Atherosclerosis begins during your 60's not during childhood. True or False?

Back 33

False, Atherosclerosis can begin in childhood as well.
