Aneurysm
Nicolas
AlvarezSlide4Slide5
Aneurysma blood-filled bulge of a blood vesselit usually affects arteries of the brain or the abdominal aorta
very dangerous – possibility of internal bleedingSlide6Slide7
Aneurysm
Rupture
of
the
aorta with aneurysmSlide8Slide9
Aneurysmcauses of aneurysm: hypertension
, inflammation of the vessel wall, atherosclerosissymptoms
: sharp and severe paindiagnostics: ultrasound or CTtreatment:
surgery is needed; blood pressure and cholesterol reduction (supportive
treatment)Slide10Slide11
Dissection
Zuzana
KaščákováSlide12Slide13
Dissectionthe rupture of the inner wall of a vesselit usually affects the aorta in the chest
it may cause a heart-attack, a stroke, paralysis of some parts of the bodySlide14Slide15
DissectionComparation
– normal aorta and dissected aorta
DissectionSlide16Slide17
Dissectioncauses: hypertension, atherosclerosis, thinning blood vesselssymptoms:
sudden paindiagnostics: ECGtreatment: abdominal aorta – surgery is not always needed, any other dissection requieres surgerySlide18Slide19
Heart
arrhythmia
Marek TimorackýSlide20
''An irregular heartbeat is an arrhythmia.
''Slide21
What causes an arrhythmia?
Coronary artery diseaseElectrolyte imbalances in your blood (such as sodium or potassium)Changes in your heart muscleInjury from a heart attackHealing process after heart surgeryIrregular heart rhythms can also occur in "normal, healthy" heartsSlide22Slide23
Types of arrhythmiasPremature
atrial contractionsPremature ventricular contractionsAtrial
fibrillationAtrial flutterParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Accessory pathway tachycardiasAV nodal reentrant
tachycardiaVentricular tachycardia
Ventricular
fibrillation
Long
QT
syndrome
BradyarrhythmiasSinus node dysfunctionHeart blockSlide24Slide25

Atrial fibrillation
What Causes Atrial
Fibrillation?Poorly controlled high blood
pressure (hypertension)Heart valve problemsCoronary
artery diseaseAlcohol abuseObesitySleep
apnea (pauses in breathing)Thyroid disordersSlide28Slide29
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
What Causes PST?Excessive intake of alcohol
Excess caffeine intakeElectrolytes abnormalitiesAbnormal
thyroid levelsMedications Slide30Slide31
Diagnostics
Electrocardiogram (EKG)Holter monitorEchocardiography
Exercise cardiac stress testBlood testsSlide32Slide33
Treatment

HyperlipidemiaSlide36Slide37
abnormally elevated levels of any lipids in the blood
vs.
always your decision?
What is hyperlipidemiaSlide38Slide39
primarygenetic causes
check your family history
minimize your risk through diet and exercise
secondary acquiredunhealthy lifestyle
underlying causes – drugs (diuretics, estrogens, beta
blockers), diabetesClassificationSlide40Slide41
fatty substances travel in the blood attached to proteins – lipoprotein
How
it
works
LDL (low density lipoprotein
) ,,bad cholesterol“
its excess - blockage of arteries – heart attack
HDL (high density lipoprotein) „good cholesterol“lower level – coronary heart diseaseSlide42Slide43
no symptomsBUT !
elevated chance of heart diseases
How
it
looksSlide44Slide45
- eat healthy -
- read food labels -- limit
red meat, eggs, fried food -- increase
the amount of fiber -
- lose extra weight -- exercise regularly -
Ups
, I
have

healthier -Thank
you for your attention
