1. Atherosclerosis

• Inner lining of arteries become lined with plaque
• Plaque buildup of fatty substances
• Think of water pipes freezingWater is not able
  to get to where it needs to go!

4
Lets see what this looks like!

• Atherosclerosis

5
Draw a picture depicting what atherosclerosis
looks like.
6
How does this occur?

• Poor Diet
• Sedentary Lifestyle!

2. Coronary Artery Disease (Heart Disease)

• Greatest killer of all CV diseases! Leads to
  heart attack!
• How a heart attack happens
• 1. In order to function, the heart has to have
  oxygen, thus it needs blood!
• 2. Blood (and O2) are delivered to the heart via
  coronary arteries
• 3. When these arteries become clogged, O2 cannot
  reach the heart and a heart attack may occur!

Coronary Heart Disease

• Think of it like this
• Coronary arteries are like the power cords to the
  heart. When the power is interrupted, the heart
  does not function properly

10
Signs of a Heart Attack

• Chest discomfort
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body
• Shortness of breath
• Other signs may include breaking out in a cold
  sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

3. Congestive Heart Failure

• Your heart is a big muscle (cardiac muscle)
• CHF occurs when your muscle becomes overworked,
  and lacks strength

13
Congestive Heart Failure

• Heart is not strong enough to pump blood to the
  rest of the body.
• Blood pools and causes body/heart tissues to
  swell! This causes the congestion!

14

• Think of it like this
• A sump pump! If that pump doesnt get the water
  out from your basement, it will pool, creating a
  mess!

15
Congestive Heart Failure

• CHF

16
4. Stroke

• Your brain needs O2 also!!!
• Stroke occurs when blood flow is interrupted to
  the brain (clot in blood vessel)
• When O2 does not reach the brain, brain cells die

17
Strokes

• Mild strokes may cause dizziness, weakness, or
  numbness.
• However serious strokes causes speech
  impairments, memory problems, and loss of motor
  control.

PROBLEMS

• 5. VERICOSE VEINS - Swollen and enlarged veins
  caused by weak valves

20
Problems
6.
Anemia decrease in number of red blood cells
(RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of
hemoglobin in the blood. 7. Hemophilia- blood
does not clot
21
So How do we avoid all these diseases!?

• Avoid Tobacco!
• Cut back on Saturated Fats and Cholesterol!
• Maintain Healthy Weight!
• Exercise Regularly!
• Manage Stress!
• Arent you glad you have Health and PE!?!?!?!?

22
Congenital Heart Disease

• Heart disease can be hereditary
• If your parents/grandparents had heart disease,
  you may be more likely to get it.
• Heart problems you are born with are called
  congenital heart disease

23
How can exercise help the heart?

• Exercise makes the heart more efficient!
• Exercise increases stroke volume the amount of
  blood your heart pumps per contraction
• Exercises decreases resting heart rate amount
  of times your heart beats per minute while
  resting.
• Exercise makes your hearts life easier!!!
