Problem
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. One person dies every 37 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease. About 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year-that's 1 in every 4 deaths. Blood pressure and cardiac output normally rise and fall throughout the day. Please explain how blood pressure and cardiac output is regulated in the body. Then describe what Hypertension is and how it changes cardiac output and damages organ systems. Be sure to identify major risk factors for developing Hypertension.
1) Define CVD.
2) Define role of cardio dynamics in assessing CV function (Explain CO, SV, HR, EF and factors that affect them).
3) Define HTN and discuss 4 factors affecting BP.
4) Identify risk factors of HTN and how affects CO/CV system.
