Levels
Systolic pressure - force in arteries
when the heart beats
Diastolic pressure - the heart at rest
It's measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
High blood pressure/hypertension)
Classified : Essential or Secondary
-Essential or primary B/P with unknown cause
-Secondary hypertension is high B/P with a known direct cause, such as kidney disease, tumors, or birth control pills ( medication),etc.
What Do Blood Pressure Numbers Mean ?
Blood Pressure 1/2, 1/2, 1/2
½ of the people who have high blood pressure know they have it,
½ of those who know they have it, are being treated for it.
½ of those being treated for it, have their blood pressure under control.
Nationwide, about 25 percent of hypertensive patients who are controlling their blood pressure.
Adults B/P checked at least once every two years,
Optimal levels : (equal to or less than) 120 /80 mm Hg
If high: Modify your lifestyle – Diet, Weight, Exercise, Salt restriction

even if the blood pressure becomes normal
Heart Disease and Stress
Excessive stress may precipitate the following•^ blood pressure•^ fat and cholesterol•^ deposition of fat in coronary arteries•Constriction of coronary arteries.•Increased chances of blood clotting.•Increased level of blood sugar.

ADA Guidelines-Diabetics
-Fasting Blood Sugar – 70-110 mg/dl, •Blood Sugar Before Meals –
90-130 mg/dl•Blood Sugar 1-2 Hours After Meals – < 180 mg/dl •Current trends are for even more strict guidelines. If your fasting blood sugar is consistently over 110, then you have a problem and should be taking action, IMMEDIATELY,
Have your dr. order a Hemoglobin A1c Hgb A1c < 7% (3 month history )

Non- Diabetic
DiabetesCaused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
When glucose or sugar enters the blood stream the pancreas makes insulin
Insulin moves glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, to be used as fuel.
People with diabetes have high blood sugar because their body cannot move sugar into fat, liver, and muscle cells to be stored for energy. This is because either:
The pancreas does not make enough insulinOr the cells do not respond to insulin normally OR both of the above
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar.
DiabetesData from the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet (Jan. 26, 2011)Total prevalence of diabetes:•25.8 million children and adults in the US•8.3% of the population have diabetes.•Diagnosed: 18.8 million people•Undiagnosed: 7.0 million people•Prediabetes: 79 million people*
have a 2 or 3 x higher risk of heart attack or stroke
more likely to die of a heart attack
80% die from heart disease
Risk of sudden death from a heart attack for a diabetic is the same as that of someone who already had a heart attack.
People at risk for diabetes who follow a diet and exercise plan & only a modest weight loss) can decrease their risk of developing diabetes by almost 50%

BMI Waist-to-Height Ratio
http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/
Doing the numbers, men should have a waist about 54% of their height, and women about 52%. You can figure out where you fall by dividing your waist measurement in inches by your height in inches (add 60 to the number of inches you are over 5 feet).
• Gather information on your immediate family-• Learn about your extended family– • Gather family heart-health risk factor information conditions: Hypertension High cholesterol Smoking, Diabetes Overweight or obesity.
What heart or cardiovascular conditions have been diagnosed in family members? • Age of dx.
Examples include:• Aneurysm, Congestive heart failure, Coronary heart disease Heart attack (myocardial infarction),Stroke

What is the Cardiovascular Disease Triad
-PVD is present when blood vessels are affected by atherosclerosis.-In the absence of diabetes heavy cigarette smokingthe single most important risk factor i
-The brain receives its blood supply from four main arteries:-2 carotid arteries -2 vertebral arteries.
-The heart receives a blood supply of from the coronary arteries.
-Coronary heart disease result from narrowing of the coronary arteries

WALKING: single most effective form
of exercise to achieve heart health simplest way to start and continue a fitness journey.
costs nothing to get stated
lowest dropout rate
Easy, safe and works
1 hour of walking Increase life expectancy by 2 hrs.
30 minutes a day provides heart health benefits
Good Reasons to Exercise
Increase blood flow by up to 200%
Reduce blood pressure by up to 60 points
Reduce arterial plaque by 50%
Inhibit formation of clots and inflammation in blood vessels
Reduce cholesterol by up to 20%
Nitric oxide is produced by our endothelial cells, which live on the inside layer of our blood vessels
Physically Active People Save $500 a year in healthcare
costs.
Employers can save $16 for every $1 they spend on health and wellness.
Fitness programs have reduced employer healthcare costs by 20 - 55%.
Reducing just one health risk in the workplace increases productivity by 9%
Reducing one health risk decreases absenteeism by 2%.
The Metabolic Syndrome
Certain “risk factors” for heart disease tend to cluster together and markedly increase your risk:
overweight, especially when carried around the waisthigh blood pressurecholesterol abnormalities (low HDL and high
triglycerides) elevated blood glucose
People with these risk factors need to be treated very aggressively for heart disease prevention: lifestyle changes are key!
What is Heart Disease and What is Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Disease?Cardiovascular Disease?
Heart Disease and CVD used interchangeably
Heart Disease is any condition that affects
damages the heart or blood vessels
Heart failure – sudden wt. gain Heart beating fast, S.O.B, coughing, wheezing, dizzy, faint, trouble sleeping
Cardiomyopathy - weakening of the heart often inadequate heart pumping or other heart function problems
Arrhythmias –heart beats to slow, to fast, Irregular Endocarditis Atrial fib Cardiovascular disease diseases
The Heart Facts The heart is located almost in the
center of the chest, between the lungs, slightly sticks out and taps against the left side of the chest,
Beats about 100,000 times in one day; about 35 million times a year
Give a tennis ball a good, hard squeeze. You're using about the same amount of force your heart uses to pump blood out to the body
In one day, the blood travels a total of 19,000 km (12,000 miles)
The heart pumps about 1 million barrels of blood during an average lifetime—that's enough to fill more than 3 super tankers.
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the
center of the chest; lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It
can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back,
neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat,
nausea or lightheadedness
Heart Attack Warning Signs
Severe shortness of breath
Unusual or unexplained fatigue (tiredness)
Unfamiliar dizziness or light-headedness
Unexplained nausea (feeling sick to the stomach) or vomiting
Sharp upper body pain in the neck, back, and jaw
Cold sweats, and you know it's not menopause
Unusually heavy pressure on the chest, like there's a ton of weight on you
Heart Attack Signs for Women
Cardiovascular Disease Can Be Different in Women
On average, Hispanic women are likely to develop heart disease 10 years earlier than Caucasian women.
Today, more than 8 percent of Hispanics, age 18 and older, have heart disease.
That’s why we invite you to be a part of Go Red Por Tu Corazon and educate Hispanic women about the threat of heart disease
Help empower them to make life-saving choices for themselves and their families.

Understanding Stroke
Kinds of STROKE
Hemorrhagic Stroke: Least common, but can be fatal. Occurs when weakened vessel in brain ruptures and bleeds into surrounding tissue
Ischemic Stroke:Most common –83%occurs when clots (thrombus) block an artery due to fatty deposits or narrowing in vessel walls
TIA’s transient ischemic attack Warning signs symptoms occurs for short time then resolves – Dr. should be seen immediately-take steps to prevent a stroke
The Stroke Belt
The Impact of Stroke
Stroke is the third-leading cause of
death in the U.S. and a major cause of
serious, long-term disability.
Each year about 790,000 Americans
have a stroke, so stroke strikes every 45
seconds.
Someone dies of a stroke every
3 minutes.
Recognize Stroke F. A. S. T
F. Face Facial droop (ask patient to smile or stick out their tongue)
A. Arm drift (ask patient to extend arms, palms down, with eyes closed)
S. Speech Ask patient to say “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”)
T. Time Call 9-1-1
Look for abnormalities.
Stroke in the YoungCarotid and Vertebral
arteries main arteries that supply blood to the brain
Spontaneous dissection less than 2% •accounts for up to ¼ of all strokes in young and middle-age people• 12,000 and 15,000 are affected by spontaneous dissection of the carotid or vertebral arteries.
