Review this week’s media presentation on alterations of cardiovascular functions, as well as Chapter 24 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders. · Select one patient factor: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders. · Select one of the following alterations of cardiovascular disorders: peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or dysrhythmia. Think about how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected. Post a description of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders, including how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology. Then, explain how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected for patients.

Discussion on Cardiovascular Disorders

The Pathophysiology of Cardiovascular Disorders

“People take ownership of sickness and disease by saying things like my high blood pressure, my diabetes, my heart disease, my depression, MY! MY! MY! Do not own it because it does not belong to you!” (Stella Payton). Cardiovascular disorder is a general term describing disorders of the heart or blood vessels, and they affect the heart and the blood vessels leading to a range of health problems, and they lead to high death rates globally, taking estimated 17.9 million lives each year (Malinowski et al., 2019), and people over the age of 45 years are the most affected by cardiovascular diseases. Coexisting two or more risk factors increases the likelihood of the disease’s occurrence. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases involves patient training in the context of the importance of lifestyle changes and taking pharmacotherapy and invasive therapy into account. This essay will explain the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders, the impact of genetics on the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders, and how hypertension leads to Congestive Heart Failure.
