Healthy Heart

Transcript: Hypertensive heart disease is the number one cause of death associated with high blood pressure. Another thing that can cause heart disease is atherosclerosis and this can be caused by an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight and smoking. History proves that heart disease has been around for as much as 3500 years as historians made scans of Egyptian mummies which showed heart disease in ancient Egyptians. Signs and symptoms: *chest pain *shortness of breath *pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms *Dizziness *Lightheadedness *Too slow or too fast of a heart beat. Prevention: *Eat Right (heart healthy diet *Exercise (30 mins) *Keep cholesterol level down *No Smoking *No tobacco *Maintain Healthy weight Treatments: Life style change Medication Pace makers Open heart surgery Medical procedures Testimonial: Iron man, Don Lopez Early one morning in December 2003, I had a heart attack. I was rushed to the ER and prepared for emergency cardiac catheterization to remove a complete blockage in my right coronary artery. Then, in September 2006, I experienced a second heart attack. These events left me with permanent damage, resulting in a weak heart, only capable of pumping blood at a fraction of the rate of a normal heart. There isn't anything I can do to turn back time. I take my medication and get plenty of exercise. The most important thing I can do now is to make sure my kids are aware of the importance of good eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. Karen and I enjoy spending time with our kids being active outdoors. We also teach our kids about heart-healthy foods. My 4-year old son already looks at food labels and asks, "Daddy, how much percent fat is in this?" I only wish every child were so aware. Other info: about 600,000 people die of heart disease every year in the U.S. That is 1 in every 4 deaths. Every year almost 1 million people have a heart attack in the U.S. About half of all americans have at least 1 out of 3 risk factors for potential heart disease. Resources for help: Nearest Clinic or Doctor Emergency go to a Hospital Self-diagnosis is possibly on WebMD Bibliography: http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm http://www.cvdf.org/testimonials3.aspx http://mendedhearts.org/resources/dealing-with-heart-disease http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/heart-disease/DS01120 Cause #3 Thank you & 1. Is heart disease contagious? 2. Name one symptom of heart disease. 3. True or False: High cholesterol doesn't affect your heart. *Bonus: About half of all americans have at least ___ out of ___ risk factors for potential heart disease. Challenge yourself: Can you name one of the the risk factors/causes we have listed? Heart Disease? High blood pressure brings on heart failure by causing a thickening of the heart muscle that results in less effective muscle relaxation between heart beats. Remember... cause #2 Cause #1 One final risk factor for heart disease is high blood cholesterol, a fat- like substance carried in your blood and its found in all of your body's cells. Bad cholesterol causes plaque to form on artery walls. Heart disease is a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect your heart . This includes diseases of the blood vessels, arteries and other infections of the heart. Jordan Inselman Little Quiz By: Disease Hawa Salad

Transcript: Working out that muscle Hearts Breaking the heart into pieces How many times have you received a card with little hearts around it? Have you heard words like brokenhearted, downhearted or heartless? Or seen a cartoon charter's heart? Believe it or not, your heart is nothing like that. A long time ago, people thought that their emotions were controlled by their heart, because their hearts would beat faster when you're scared or excited, but thanks to scientists, we now know its all controlled by the master mind of your body, your brain. So what does your heart do instead of beating to the seconds of the clock? Lets find out! The ten top things I would recommend to eat to keep your heart happy and healthy are: *Oatmeal *Salmon *Avocado *Olive oil *Nuts *Berries *Legumes *Spinach *Flaxseed *Soy Your heart is actually a muscle, one you literally couldn't live without. If you place your hand on your hand a little to the left of the center of your chest, you can feel your heart beating. The muscle is the size of your fist, but an athlete's heart is the size of both fists put together. Human Heart How to keep a healthy heart If we break the heart into different pieces, you could see,but probably won't notice, the heart's chambers. This muscle is made up of four different blood-filled areas, and these areas are known as chambers. Two of these chambers are found on each side of the heart. One living on top and the other living under, like England and Australia, one on top and other down under. To keep a healthy heart is like taking care of a dog, so watch this video on the next slide to know of what you have to do to take care of your heart. Healthy Hearts Watch and learn tips and tricks of how to keep your heart in good shape. Best foods for your heart How to keep a healthy heart video

Transcript: Healthy Heart Lydia Prueher Heart Rate Heart Rate The number of times your heart beats in one minute. High vs. Low Heart Rate A high heart rate means that the heart has to work hard to meet the oxygen demands of the body. High vs Low A low heart rate means the body might not get enough oxygen to function Pulse - a pressure wave of blood passing by an artery How to Measure Heart Rate Place your index an third fingers on your neck to the side your windpipe. Alternately, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon. Measurement Three things that impact heart rate are age, fitness levels, and emotions. Personally, I've noticed my emotions, particularly stress, elevate my heart rate. Count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply the number by four to calculate beats per minute. My heart rate now: 96 bpm (beats per minute) Tachycardia vs Bradycardia Tachycardia - an abnormally rapid heart rate Tachycardia vs Bradycardia Bradycardia - an abnormally slow heart rate Blood Pressure Blood Pressure Measures the amount of force applied to the arterial walls as the heart pumps blood. Caused by the movement of blood through the vessels in the body. High Blood Pressure High blood pressure is dangerous because it means the blood is pressing hard against the arteries, so severe damage can be done to the arteries. High Blood Pressure Blood pressure can be changed by things like activity, diet, and medication use. Hypertension - chronic high blood pressure. What do the numbers mean? Numbers Blood pressure is recorded in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) Blood pressure is reported as two values: Systolic pressure - the pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are at maximum contraction. (the top number) Diastolic pressure - the pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxing. (the bottom number) How is Blood Pressure Taken? The Process The cuff is placed on the upper arm and is inflated to cut off blood flow. Pressure in the vessel is measured as the cuff is released and blood flow returns to the artery. Blood pressure is taken using a sphygmomanometer. It has an inflatable cuff with an attached pressure gauge. Chartz How Does Your Blood Pressure Measure Up? Want to Get Lower? ACE Inhibitors are drugs that cause relaxation of blood vessels and decrease blood volume in order to lower blood pressure What is an EKG? Electrocardiogram - a graph made to show electrical activity of the heart. EKG That's what it looks like :) Problems Which Can be Diagnosed from an EKG Diagnoses Irregular Heartbeat Irregular Speed of Contractions Angina Tissue Death Path of Electricity as the Heart Contracts Path of Electricity Sinoatrial (SA) node Atrioventricular (AV) node Atrioventricular (AV) bundle Bundle branches Purkinje fibers Components of a Single Heartbeat Traditionally labeled as P, Q, R, S, and T Hearbeat Components The P wave represents the start of the electrical journey as the impulse spreads from the SA node downward from the atria through the AV node and to the ventricles. Ventricular activation is represented by the QRS complex. The T wave results from ventricular repolarization, which is a recovery of the ventricular muscle tissue to its resting state. By examining several beats, you can calculate the rate for each component. What would happen if the AV node could no longer do its job? What If? If the AV node could not do its job, the heart's ventricles would not be able to contract. The electrical current would only make it to the atria before being stopped, so the atria would contract but not the ventricles.

Transcript: Heart Healthy Answers to frequently asked questions about heart disease. Who is most succeptible to heart disease? Smokers, drug users, and people in high stress environments Why? smoking and other drugs can lead to high blood pressure. Certain drugs can also speed up the process of the narrowing of arteries which makes clotting and therefore heart attacks much more probable. Also,high stress can lead to high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, both of which can take a toll on the heart. What risky behaviors play a role in heart disease? Smoking Smoking damages the blood vessels because it speeds up the process that causes the arteries to narrow. This starves the heart of blood, causing an increased risk of heart disease. One year of not smoking drastically decreases that risk. Alcohol A small amount of alcohol has been proven to help the heart by increasing the amount of good cholesterol in the system. Extreme amounts of alcohol, however send blood pressure skyrocketing. It can also enlarge and weaken your heart over time. The older you are the less alcohol your body can metabolize so you are at an increased risk. Illegal drugs like cocaine are extremely dangerous. For instance, for the first hour after using cocaine, your risk of heart disease is 24 times higher. The average age of heart patients who used cocaine was 44 which is 17 years younger than non-drug using heart patients. Cocaine like smoking, constricts the main arteries to the heart. What Treatments are available for heart patients? If a heart attack is suspected but not confirmed, there are a variety of early treatments. A heart attack occurs when blood clots and cannot reach parts of the heart. This means that if a heart attack is suspected, blood thinners like Aspirin can be taken to prevent further clotting. Nitroglycerin can also be added to the blood stream to relieve the workload from the heart, and improve blood flow through the arteries. use this info wisely and... Stay Healthy!
