     1/3rd death due to sudden cardiac arrest.
     80% SCA at home.
     95% SCA patients dies before reaching hospital
    What is cardio-vascular disease.
     Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes -
    - coronary artery disease(Myocardial

     Factors that increase a person’s chance of

     There are risk factors that can be changed, treated


    or modified and risk factors that cannot be changed.
    Risk factors
     Risk Factors You Can’t Change, Treat or Modify

    • Increasing Age
    • Heredity
    • Race

    • Know the risk factors

    • Identify your risk factors

    • Take action to lower your risk


    factors
    What we can do to prevent CHD
     Make Healthy Lifestyle Changes

    • Control high blood pressure


    • Don’t smoke. If you smoke, quit. Avoid

    What is cholesterol.
    • Cholesterol is a fat like substance made primarily in
    the liver.

    • The body needs cholesterol for important biological


    functions.

    • Typically, the body makes all the cholesterol it


    needs.
    What is cholesterol.
     •Why Is Cholesterol Control Important?

    • Too much cholesterol in the blood increases the risk


    that fatty deposits (plaque) will form in arteries.

    • These plaques limit the amount of blood that can flow


    through the artery.

    • If a plaque ruptures, blood clots can form and block


    the artery resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
    What is cholesterol.
     “Good” and “Bad” Cholesterol

    • HDL cholesterol is the “good” kind

    • High HDL lowers your heart disease and


    stroke risk

    • LDL cholesterol is the “bad” kind

    • LDL cholesterol is deposited in artery walls

    • High LDL raises your heart disease and stroke risk


    Physical activity
     Physical Activity Helps You

    • About 30% of Americans are active enough for good


    heart health

    • Physically inactive women are more likely to develop


    heart disease

    • Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity


    o improves your cardiovascular health
    o helps reduce your risk of heart
    disease
    Physical activity

    • Exercise helps you


    o lower blood pressure
    o control blood cholesterol levels
    o reach and maintain a healthy weight
    o manage diabetes

    Association recommends 30–60 minutes of
    physical activity on most or all days of the week

    Healthy food habits can help reduce some of the


    risk factors for heart attack and stroke including:
    • High blood cholesterol
    • High blood pressure
    • Excess body weight
    • Type II diabetes
    What is Diabetes
    Diabetes is defined as a fasting blood glucose of 126
    milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or more.

    form and occurs when:
    o Your body doesn’t make
    enough insulin

    properly to insulin

     How Dangerous Is Diabetes?

    •Heart disease death rates for adults with diabetes are 2


    to 4 times higher than for adults without diabetes

    •Stroke risk is 2 to 4 times higher among people with


    diabetes

    Do you know a friend or relative who
    has had a heart attack, or have you
    ever had a heart attack yourself?
     Heart disease develops over time
    as fatty build-up, or plaques, which
    can narrow the path of blood flow to Time = Muscle
    the heart

     Plaque breaks, causing a blood


    clot

     Blood flow is blocked by the clot,


    causing a heart attack

     If blockage continues, heart muscle


    dies
     Chest pain or discomfort
     Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck or back
     Feeling weak, lightheaded, faint or sweaty
     Pain or discomfort in the arms or shoulders
