    Pathophysiology CVD

    Uploaded by

    Pamela Shiermaine Filomeno
    This document outlines the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease in an 85-year-old female smoker with a family history of CVD. It notes modifiable risk factors of smoking and diet, as well as non-modifiable factors of age, gender, and genetics. It then describes the progression of the disease from lipid deposits and turbulent blood flow in arterial walls to a blood clot blocking a coronary artery, resulting in a myocardial infarction and left-sided weakness due to loss of cardiac muscle function on the left side of the body.
