Progeria (Greek pro‚ "to‚ for" and geron‚ "old") is a genetic disease of childhood extremely rare‚ characterized by an abrupt and premature aging in children between their first and second year of life. It is estimated to affect one in 8 million live births. Not shown preference for any particular gender‚ but many more have been reported white patients (97% of affected patients). Progeria can affect different organs and tissues: bone‚ muscle‚ skin‚ subcutaneous tissue and vessels. The most severe

Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality around the world. These diseases can range from coronary artery disease‚ blood vessel diseases‚ to congenital heart defects. Many patients that are affected by these diseases are treated with pills that have hazardous side effects‚ surgeries that induce trauma to the patient’s body (stents for vascular intervention‚ or balloon angioplasty‚ etc) or heart transplants that are dependent on the patient’s immune system. The bodies of these patients under go

modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease‚ which are now identified as explaining a very large part of the variability in the occurrence of a first acute myocardial infarction” (Caterina). Inflammation in the cardiovascular system has been linked with nutrition. Inflammation has also been associated as a leading cause for myocardial infarctions and cardiovascular disease. Patients who have two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease should modify their diet and exercise in order to prevent

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a situation where the heart is not able to pump adequate blood to the other organs of the body. Causes of CHF are coronary artery disease‚ past myocardial infarction‚ hypertension‚ heart valve disease‚ cardiomyopathy‚ congenital heart defects‚ endocarditis and myocarditis (American heart association‚ 2013) .In the case scenario of Mr. P 76 year old man comes with the history of cardiomyopathy and CHF and in the past repeatedly admitted for the management of CHF

excess. Over time‚ this buildup can contribute to the hardening and narrowing of the arteries‚ reducing the flow of blood to the vital organs‚ brain and the heart itself. If the heart’s blood supply is cut off‚ the result is a heart attack‚ or myocardial infarction. For this reason‚ high serum cholesterol is a primary factor contributing to the increased risk of heart attacks.2 Both diet and genetics are important factors affecting cholesterol levels. Other lifestyle factors such as exercise‚ smoking

More than 30 years ago the hypothesis of an interventional approach in patients with unstable angina or non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was considered only after a "cooling-off" period. This negative attitude was in part justified by the lack of effective antithrombotic adjunctive therapies and devices in the management of lesion containing thrombus and the subsequent early hazard of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The delay—many days or weeks after hospital admission—to

heart’s pumping inefficiency causes a buildup of blood in the lungs‚ a condition called pulmonary congestion. Prevalence Congestive heart failure continues to grow in prevalence due to the ageing population and the survival rates of myocardial infarctions (Fundukian‚ 2011). Congestive heart failure means that the heart is still pumping blood‚ but at a slower rate than normal‚ so the pressure in the heart starts to increase as a result. This slower heart rate causes the heart to be unable to

The mechanism of beta blockers treating CHF is not exact but may include a “reduction in circulating levels of vasoconstrictors‚ reductions in blood pressure‚ heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption‚ up regulation of myocardial B-1- receptor density‚ thereby improving contractile function‚ a reduction in myocardial gene production of inflammatory cytokines
