Cardiovascular risk factors There are many risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. Some risk factors such as family history‚ ethnicity and age‚ cannot be changed. Other risk factors that can be treated or changed include tobacco exposure‚ high blood pressure (hypertension)‚ high cholesterol‚ obesity‚ physical inactivity‚ diabetes‚ unhealthy diets‚ and harmful use of alcohol. Of particular significance in developing countries is the fact that while they are grappling with

Showing cardiovascular and ventilatory responses at rest and during exercise Abstract Objective: The objective of this experiment is to analyse how the cardiovascular and respiratory parameters are affected by steady state exercise. Method: The experiment was split into two stages‚ rest and exercise. A spirometer‚ an ECG‚ a Douglas bag and a blood pressure monitor were used at rest on the subject. In the exercise phase a Douglas bag and the blood pressure monitor were used to measure the subject’s

Introduction Cardiovascular Dynamics and the Cardiovascular Physiology experiments both have multiple goals. The first experiment aims to understand how blood flow‚ pressure gradient‚ and resistance relate to one another. To understand this‚ resistance and contributing factors‚ such as vessel radius‚ viscosity‚ and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular compensation

Cardiovascular and Aerobic Exercise Cardiovascular exercises are one of three main types of exercise that include strength and flexibility exercises. This type of activity requires continuous motion of large muscles‚ such as your legs or arms. The exercises that are performed for aerobics are called cardiovascular because they work out your heart and your lungs. This means training the most important parts of your body to work more efficiently and become healthier. One thing that is nice

Properties of Gases General Chemistry 1 Lab 5 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses‚ which were the products of a reaction‚ and examine the way the gasses react under certain conditions. These conditions‚ such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2‚ caused other reactions to occur. Hypothesis: If the gasses are correctly synthesized then there will be a clear reaction with the introduction of the flame‚ O2‚ CO2‚ Air

Cardiovascular diseases include a wide range of heart abnormalities‚ as well as diseases of other parts of the circulatory system‚ such as the coronary arteries‚ ther cerebrovascular system‚ the aorta and pulmonary vessels‚ and the peripheral arteries and veins. Abnormalities of these structures may be either congenital or acquired over time. It has been said that cardiovascular disease kills about 954‚000 people annually‚ including more than 156‚000 people under the age of sixty-five years.

The cardiovascular and respiratory systems work towards a common goal of getting oxygen to tissues and getting carbon dioxide out of the body (Cloe‚ 2013). Each system has their own function to help the other‚ but the main focus is to oxygenate the blood. The body does this through one of the bodies organs‚ the lungs. Low oxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Whenever we breathe this low oxygen blood is turned back into oxygenated blood when carbon dioxide is forced
