Writing a thesis on any topic can be a challenging task, but when it comes to a complex and serious

health issue like coronary heart disease, the difficulty level increases significantly. Coronary heart
disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood
to the heart become narrowed or blocked, leading to various health complications such as heart
attack, stroke, and even death.

With the vast amount of information and research available on coronary heart disease, it can be
overwhelming to narrow down the topic and gather relevant and reliable sources. Moreover,
understanding the complex medical terminology and concepts related to this disease can be a
daunting task for those without a medical background.

In addition to the research and understanding required, writing a thesis also involves critical
thinking, analysis, and organization of ideas. This can be a daunting task for many students,
especially when they are already burdened with other academic responsibilities.

Physical inactivity is also a risk factor for coronary heart disease, as exercise levels help to control
blood pressure and cholesterol levels and also helps with weight loss. Other ways is by having health
promotion programmes and community projects. In all cases it makes sense to make good lifestyle
choices. Does Lifestyle Affect the Development of Coronary Heart Disease? Coronary h. Sealing the
ends of the holes prevents the heart from leaking. The health of each individuals coronary arteries
will depend on a combination of these factors. Inactivity, together with a poor diet, is leading to
rising rates of overweight and obesity, increasing the risk of chronic diseases in later life, including
coronary heart disease. If you have too much cholesterol in your bloodstream, the excess is
deposited in arteries, including the coronary arteries, where it contributes to the narrowing and
blockages that cause the signs and symptoms of heart disease. More than 90% of sufferers of this
condition have smoked at least 20 cigarettes a day for more than 20 years. When this happens, the
heart can’t pump blood effectively. These schemes are mainly aimed at smokers themselves, but not
at the non-smokers and those who aren’t fully aware of the full extent that smoking can affect the
body to. In the USA 7.5% of white people suffer from heart disease. 6.9% of black people suffer.
Hypertension may lead to heart failure, which occurs when heart muscles weaken and are unable to
pump properly. However, these are outnumbered by the amount of controllablerisk factors that have
been identified, such as smoking and physical inactivity. It is composed of striated, involuntary
muscle cells connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. The smooth muscle cells
begin to reproduce in response to the growth substances the macrophages produce. When the
coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged by cholesterol and fat deposits a process called
atherosclerosis. If not enough oxygen-carrying blood reaches the heart, you may experience chest
pain called angina. Like any other muscle, exercise will increase the strength of the heart muscle and
will enable a larger stroke volume to occur, therefore the heart doesn't need to beat as fast to pump as
much blood around the body. When the heart does not pump out blood as fast as it arrives heart
failure is said to occur - the heart is not working as efficiently. Reviews Select overall rating (no

cholesterol that affects 1 in 500 people is familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to early
heart disease. Using your mobile phone camera - scan the code below and download the Kindle app.
Adhesive electrodes are affixed to the skin surface allowing measurement of cardiac impulses from
many angles. The faults could be through high cholesterol, a virus or harmful chemicals from. The
diagram shows how the coronary arteries look, when they are normal, half blocked and totally
blocked. If the heart loses its blood supply, this is known as ischaemic, its ability to pump blood
around the body is seriously reduced. Some of these factors can be changed (controllable) and some
cannot be changed (uncontrollable). Vascular resistance is the opposition to flow, which is caused
primarily by blood friction against vessel walls. Like any muscle, the heart needs a constant supply
of oxygen and nutrients, which are carried to it by the blood in the coronary arteries.
Smoking increases risk in two ways. - Carbon monoxide absorbed through the lungs reduces the
amount of oxygen the blood can carry. These cells change the fatty streaks into early atheroma.
Thus, it is likely that people living in LEDCs will get more physical exercise, thus being more
physically fit, thus reducing the risks associated with inactivity that we know increase the risk of
CHD. A deflated balloon is passed through the catheter to the affected area. So HDL helps keep
cholesterol from building up in the walls of the arteries. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To

mean that the heart has stopped or is about to stop. One can live a healthy life but old age can
eventually cause damage the coronary arteries causing heart disease. Tests for those at particular risk
would allow people that are to make more extreme lifestyle choices in order to protect themselves.
Common causes are early pregnancy, sea and motion sickness, emotional stress, intense pain, food
poisoning, and various enteroviruses. Doctors can strengthen the heart with other drugs which mimic
the action of adrenaline and increase calcium in the myocytes. While there has been progress in
treating heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, much remains to be done. This causes a build
up inside the walls of the arteries. Often, a stent is implanted after angioplasty to keep the artery
open. Read instantly on your browser with Kindle for Web. LDL carries most of the cholesterol in
the blood, and the cholesterol from LDL is the main source of damaging build up and blockage in
the arteries. It is responsible for about one in five deaths, and it can lead to serious complications,
including angina, heart attacks, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Read more. One thing that could be
introduced, which is already beginning to be put into action, is the banning of smoking in public
places so that not only will the public be cutting down on the amount they smoke, but also the
incidence of passive smoking will be greatly reduced. This is because of reasons such as smoking
causes the build up of excess fat in the arteries causing the heart to pump harder and if the
requirement of the body is higher then what the heart can produce then this can lead to major heart
problems and CHD. It depends on the individual case whether these factors are self inflicted or not.
Factors affecting the development of coronary heart disease. As the number of these cells
accumulates along with the cholesterol deposition, it grows into a bigger plaque, as a result, it pushes
artery walls outwards. A lot of the diseases that kill people in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed
Countries) do not affect those of us lucky enough to live in developed countries. The artery becomes
more rigid and narrow, thus restricting the smooth flow of blood to the heart. Sometimes a clot may
form which can block the flow of blood to heart muscle. Dyspnea is a normal manifestation of heavy
physical or psychological exertion, but also may be caused by underlying conditions (both
pulmonary and extrapulmonary). The incidence of naturally high blood pressure is also being
researched with the intention of finding the gene responsible. This major operation involves opening
the chest wall and inserting a graft or an alternate passage (usually taken from a vein in the leg) into
the coronary artery that is blocked. Thrombopoiesis takes place primarily in the bone marrow through
a series of cell differentiation and is influenced by several cytokines. These radicals promote the
growth of plaque inside arteries causing atherosclerosis.
If the heart does not get enough blood, the heart muscle may be damaged over time. However there
are some errors with the way that the candidate has referenced the resources that they have used.
Furthermore, carbon monoxide gases exhibited from cigarette smoke intoxicates the heart’s
consumption of oxygen because the gas reacts with the haemoglobin rather than the oxygen that is
needed for respiration (7). This is because of reasons such as smoking causes the build up of excess
fat in the arteries causing the heart to pump harder and if the requirement of the body is higher then
what the heart can produce then this can lead to major heart problems and CHD. This is because of
the function of aspirin in the body. Diabetes causes blockage and hardening (atherosclerosis) of
blood vessels everywhere in the body, including coronary arteries 9. A deflated balloon is passed
through the catheter to the affected area. Such diets can lead to obesity in children and adults. Pre
menopausal women are protected by oestrogen - after the menopause their risk of CHD is equivalent
to that of men. One way that stress may do this is by affecting your habits. Does Lifestyle Affect the
Development of Coronary Heart Disease? Coronary h. It is thought to be provoked by a transient
stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the myocardium exceed that supplied by
the coronary circulation. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to
epithelioid cells or may fuse to form foreign body giant cells or langhans giant cells. Currently, there
haven’t been any methods of preventing type 1 diabetes as such. B and T lymphocytes and natural
killer (NK) cells arise from the lineage. When the balloon is inflated it compresses (squashes) fatty
deposits against the artery walls. This test also helps distinguish systolic from diastolic heart failure
(the heart is stiff and does not fill properly). This indicates that environmental factors such as
lifestyle, diet and exercise have serious effects on risks of developing CHD. Sealing the ends of the
holes prevents the heart from leaking. Diabetes Having diabetes is a strong risk factor for developing
heart disease. Coronary arteries are the heart's own network of blood vessels; they exist on the
surface of the heart - they supply the heart muscle with oxygen. What you eat. Two main nutrients in
the foods you eat make your LDL-cholesterol level go up: saturated fat, a type of fat found mostly in
foods that come from animals; and cholesterol, which comes only from animal products. In Dardas,

different types of arrhythmias, and they can often be treated with medications. This is a major factor
when looking at the relative levels of incidence of CHD in developed and less-developed countries. It
is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells connected to form the contractile pump to generate
blood flow. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to epithelioid cells or
may fuse to form foreign body giant cells or langhans giant cells. Also to avoid a hole through the
whole heart and causing damage the beam is used when the ventricle is full with blood; the blood
will absorb the laser causing no damage. In the European Union, coronary heart disease is also the
most common single cause of death, with over 600,000 deaths every year. Choleseterol lowering
drugs are most useful when they target LDL - modern drugs such as Statins do this.
The 5 cardinal signs of inflammation are pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.
Medication is the first way to treat CHD, after life style change (preventions). This increases the risk
of heart disease because as the walls thicken, the arteries become narrower, increasing the risk of
blockage of the flow of blood to the heart muscle. Hard plaque causes the artery walls to thicken
and harden. A lack of exercise increases the levels of LDL cholesterol, which can fur up the arteries.
Because the cigarette industry is such big business in the country and smoking being very common,
there are a great deal. LDL is also known as the bad cholesterol, while HDL is also known as the
good cholesterol. To educate the community and promote public health initiatives, you have
scheduled daily time with the local radio station to play media briefs recorded by yourself. The ECG
provides 3-dimensional information about the conduction system of the heart, the myocardium, and
other cardiac structures. In MEDC’s there are jobs where people would not get out of a chair for
hours and there isn’t a need to exercise within the job role. Obesity puts a severe strain on the heart
and circulatory system. Electrodes are attached to the patient's skin and impulses are recorded as
waves are displayed on a screen (or printed on paper). To stop bleeding when the laser is finished
and the surface of the heart reaches the air the blood clots and within 2 days scar tissue will have
formed. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To ensure quality for our reviews, only customers

chemicals, which attract leucocytes (white blood cells) to them. This test also helps distinguish
systolic from diastolic heart failure (the heart is stiff and does not fill properly). It shows that by
simply stopping they will reduce their chances of CHD and that even though people once were
smokers, they will have a much lower chance than those who still smoke. Weight loss also helps to
lower triglycerides and raise HDL. Hypertension is most often asymptomatic and is found
incidentally as part of a routine physical examination or during triage for an unrelated medical
encounter. When this happens, the heart can’t pump blood effectively. Unquestionably, as age
increases the arteries become less elastic and more cholesterol attaches itself in the process mentioned
earlier in the essay (1). There are two forms of diabetes (type 1 and type 2), b oth of which
ultimately lead to high blood sugar levels, a condition called hyperglycaemia. However, only a small
amount is required to perform these tasks, and the excess is deposited along the arteries, causing
them to become more narrow. So therefore aspirin is a good way to help prevent CHD. These diets
will help the body over the long term, if the screening process shows some people with very high
levels, then drugs, such as statins, should be employed, which work by inhibiting an enzyme which
controls the production of cholesterol 5. After repeated attacks the results are the progressive
destruction of the myocardium. More severe form, more myocardial injury than non-Q wave.
As explained before, natural levels of hormones such as oestrogen, are known to protect the arteries.
This is because of reasons such as smoking causes the build up of excess fat in the arteries causing
the heart to pump harder and if the requirement of the body is higher then what the heart can produce
then this can lead to major heart problems and CHD. These engulf the oxidised LDL cholesterol
until they become so turgid they burst, which triggers inflammation. Beginning an exercise program
has been associated with a significant decline in CHD risk. Pre menopausal women are protected by
oestrogen - after the menopause their risk of CHD is equivalent to that of men. It is divided into 2
fascial compartments (anterior and posterior). Medication is the first way to treat CHD, after life
style change (preventions). Vascular resistance is the opposition to flow, which is caused primarily by
blood friction against vessel walls. It is also estimated that 36% of deaths is due to lack of physical
activity, which could be avoided if people who are not exercising enough or not at all increased it to
a moderate level. The exposure to the fumes produced from the smoke cause free radicals (homolytic
fission: bond breaks evenly leaving two reactive radicals) (1). Another problem is that this disease has
not shown any signs of it decreasing amongst the population. Because smoking causes
atherosclerosis, which will lead to CHD, then more money should be invested into the development
and manufacture of drugs to help reduce the clogging of the arteries. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
is a narrowing of the coronary arteries directly restricting blood flow. One of the biggest way of
doing this would be by making more improved school meals available 2. Arteries are classified into 3
types: large elastic arteries, medium muscular arteries, and small arteries and arterioles. Whilst the
LDL cholesterol is oxidised it stimulates the build up of cells named foam cells. The tendency to
develop heart disease can be genetic. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. Red
wine, fruit, vegetables, high fibre, oats and other foodstuffs are considered to be functional foods. To
lower cholesterol, one can do other things as well, such as taking medication to reduce cholesterol
levels but this is only recommended to higher risk patients. T Butcher A2 Human Biology Coronary
Heart Disease, A Self Inflicted Condition. Overwhelmed adaptive mechanisms lead to cell injury.
High blood pressure When blood pressure is elevated for an extended period of time, the inner linings
of the coronary arteries become damaged. Again diseased arteries are narrowed and more
susceptible. The ECG provides 3-dimensional information about the conduction system of the heart,
the myocardium, and other cardiac structures. As you grow old, deposition of plague increases or
burden loads leading to blood clots and massive heart attacks. It has been found that there are links
of CHD with their family background, education and earning capacity. Testosterone has a harmful
effect on the cardiovascular system and pre-menopausal women produce oestrogen which protects
against CHD. Smoking reduces HDL cholesterol and in all likelihood changes LDL cholesterol to a
form that promotes the build up of deposits in the walls of the coronary arteries. It has long been
considered that CVD is a self inflicted disease because the lifestyle led by sufferers has influenced
the onset of the disease.

there is no absolutely accepted explanation as to what mechanism is at work. A diet that is low in
saturated animal fats and high in fruit and vegetables reduces the build up atheroma. To help more
people stop or cut down would be to offer help to those people who would like to quit because by
doing so, many people may be saved from the dangers of coronary heart disease. Research is ongoing
as to how these foods protect against CHD. Age and sex. Before menopause, women usually have
total cholesterol levels that are lower than those of men the same age do. The body’s natural response
to this damage is monocycles attaching to the lining of the artery. Arteries are classified into 3 types:
large elastic arteries, medium muscular arteries, and small arteries and arterioles. Adhesive electrodes
are affixed to the skin surface allowing measurement of cardiac impulses from many angles. The
arteries that bring blood to the heart become clogged, reducing blood flow. Sometimes nuclear
medicine or echocardiographic techniques are used to take pictures of the heart to find out whether
there are any blockages in the heart arteries - such a blockage could be causing the heart failure. If
the heart attack affects a large area of the heart, it could prove fatal. (2). See other similar resources

someone from getting CHD. This pain then spreads to the neck, jaw, ears, arms, and wrists. It also
can help ease depression; during exercise the body releases chemicals called endorphins, which
enhances feelings of good health and may ease stress. Places such as Italy or Spain have a low rate
of CHD attributed to a diet low in saturated fats, whilst other countries that eat a diet high in animal
fats generally have a high rate of CHD. Patients who take ACE inhibitors should not stop taking
