Week 5 discussion question.

Professor: Jacqueline Alonso.

 

The primary risks associated with cardiovascular disease include hypertension, high cholesterol levels, and smoking. Hypertension can lead to increased arterial pressure, damaging blood vessels over time; high cholesterol contributes to plaque buildup in arteries; and smoking accelerates the process of atherosclerosis. Nursing assessments play a vital role in evaluating cardiovascular wellness. Nurses typically perform blood pressure measurements, lipid profile evaluations, and lifestyle assessments to gauge a patient’s heart health.

Cardiovascular wellness is essential for the prevention and management of heart-related conditions. Effective strategies include dietary education on the Mediterranean diet, promoting regular physical activity, and implementing smoking cessation programs. Each of these strategies aims to improve overall cardiovascular health outcomes through lifestyle modifications that reduce risk factors associated with CVD. Over time, various diets have been studied for their effectiveness in CVD prevention. One of the earliest epidemiological studies investigating the link between diet and CVD was the Seven Countries Study led by Ancel Keys between 1958 and 1964, which demonstrated that the myocardial infarction (MI) rate was lower in countries where fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and fish formed the central part of the diet (Delarue J. Mediterranean Diet and cardiovascular health).

The main cardiometabolic risk factors are diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and excess abdominal fat, which are all affected by dietary changes. Despite the advances in medical management and evidence-supported dietary interventions for improved heart health, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States (Riley, R. F. (2020).

According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, In 2022, 702,880 people died from heart disease (1 in every five deaths). In addition, heart disease costs about $239.9 billion each year from 2018 to 2019; this includes the cost of healthcare services, medicines, and lost productivity due to death. Understanding these risks is critical for healthcare providers in developing effective prevention strategies and interventions to reduce the burden of CVD globally.
