 Type One Diabetes | Linked to genetics |
| Type Two Diabetes | diet and obesity |
| Cardiovascular Disease | Coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension; any disease of the heart and its blood vessels |
| Cardiovascular Disease | The leading cause of Death in US, many have for than one form |
| Estrogen lvl | has protective effect against CVD |
| Atherosclorosis | chronic inflamatory response in artery walls due to deposition on plaque ( lipoprotiens), |
| atherosclorosis Plaque | can raise blood pressure, cause abnormal blood clotting, heart attacks and strokes. |
| Plaque | lipids that come from lipoprotiens particle, platelets come to site to repeair spot. |
| Plaque consists of: | cholesterol particles, fat, calcium, cellular wast, and others. |
| Atherosclorosis development: | Plaque>Inflammation> |
| C-reactive Protien | CRP: a sign of inflammation of the artery walls. |
| thrombosis | blood clot that sticks an artery |
| embolism | blood clot breaks free, travels and gets stuck in artery and cuts of circulation to that tissue. |
| eicosanoids | control platelets, made from omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. |
| Angina | pain or pressure feeling around the heart, due to lack of oxeygen and or neutrients |
| Heart attack | restricted blood flow to heart |
| transient ishchemic attack or stroke | restricted blood flow to brain. |
| coronary heart disease | most common form or CVD, end result of atherosclerosis, high LDL=high risk; statens>meds for high LDL. |
| VLDL | delivers lipoprotiens to cells |
| LDL | delivers cholesterol to cells |
| HDL | pick up cholesterol for removal or recycling>taken to liver |
| Risk factor for CHD | Obesity, hypertension, physical Inactivety, Diabetes, Smoking, atherogenic diet, elevated triglycerids, Metabolic syndrome |
| Lower risk for CHD | veggies, fruites, omega-3 fatty acids, |
| Metabolic syndrom | insuline resistance syndrome; caused by three or more of these: abdominal obesity,high triglycerides, High HDL, High blood pressure and high fasting glucose |
| hypertension | restricted blood flow to kidney causes it to increase blood volume and restrict peripheral blood vessels= peripheral resistanceand high blood pressure, HEART IS EXCERCISING EVEN THO BODY IS AT REST. |
| risk factores for hypertension | age, genetics, alcohol, salt sensitivity, obesity, treated through DASH diet. |
