  • CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
    • a disease of the heart and blood vessels that is the leading cause of death in the Philippines
  • TYPES OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
    1. ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
    2. CORONARY HEART DISEASE
    3. ATHEROSCLEROSIS
    4. RHEUMATIC FEVER
    5. HEART RHYTHM ABNORMALITIES / ARRHYTHMIA
    6. HYPERTENSION
  • ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
    • is a condition that causes the arteries to harden and thicken.
  • CORONARY HEART DISEASE
    • the coronary arteries (pathway of blood to the heart muscles) are narrowed or blocked; a disease of the coronary vessels and not the heart.
  • ATHEROSCLEROSIS
    • is a type of arteriosclerosis where deposited fat hardens and becomes plaque on arterial walls. Plaque build-up can begin as early as two years old.
  • RHEUMATIC FEVER
    • the immune system attacks the heart and can cause fever, weakness, and damage to its valves.
  • ARRHYTHMIA
    • Heart rhythm abnormalities
    • an irregular heart rhythm brought about by a faulty electrical conduction system that is worsened by uncontrolled stress levels and high caffeine intake.
  • HYPERTENSION
    • the heart is not able or below its normal capacity to pump blood, causing liquid to accumulate in the lungs and other areas of the body.
  • STROKE
    • sometimes called a "brain attack"
    • Occurs when the arterial blood flow leading to or in the bra in is blocked or ruptured.
  • TYPES OF STROKE
    1. ISCHEMIC STROKE
    2. HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
  • ISCHEMIC STROKE
    • brought about by obstruction and narrowing of blood vessels
  • HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
    • The most common cause of stroke is a blood clot in a brain artery, which causes aneurysm, a damaged part of the blood vessel, and may result in stroke when these arteries burst.
  • CANCER
    • group of diseases where cells divide at an uncontrolled pace.
    • not contagious or caused by injuries or accidents
    • most cancer deaths are due to lung cancer, which could have been prevented if the person did not smoke
  • MALIGNANT TUMORS
    • cancerous.
    • tumor can spread to invade and destroy nearby tissues and body parts. This process is called metastasis.
  • BENIGN TUMORS
    • not cancerous.
    • It may increase in size but it didn’t invade other body parts typically harmless unless it obstructs normal tissues or organs.
  • 4 MAJOR TYPES OF CANCER
    1. CARCINOMA
    2. SARCOMA
    3. LYMPHOMA
    4. LEUKEMIA
  • CARCINOMA
    • invasive malignant tumor from epithelial tissue that tends to spread to other body parts
  • SARCOMA
    • connective or supportive cancer, which includes muscle, bone, fat, blood vessels, and cartilage cancers.
  • LYMPHOMA
    • arises in cells of the lymphatic or the immune system tissues and is characterized by abnormal production of white cells and a decrease in resistance.
  • LEUKEMIA
    • cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by abnormal production of blood cells, usually leukocytes or white blood cells.
  • DIABETES
    • a disease resulting from a condition of the body wherein the body is not able to produce or effectively use insulin.
  • INSULIN
    • a hormone that is produced in the pancreas, which regulates the utilization of glucose.
  • TYPES OF DIABETES
    1. TYPE 1 DIABETES
    2. TYPE 2 DIABETES
    3. GESTATIONAL DIABETES
  • TYPE 1 DIABETES
    • Insulin-reliant diabetes because the body produces little or no insulin at all.
  • TYPE 2 DIABETES
    • less evident and often goes undiagnosed, the body produces insulin but cannot be used by cells.
  • GESTATIONAL DIABETES
    • occurs in certain pregnant individuals.
    • The hormones cause the body not to respond to the insulin produced by the body.
