Running Header: Peripheral Arterial Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease April 22‚ 2010 ME 1352 Abstract Peripheral Arterial Disease is a common secondary disease that follows Atherosclerosis. Once so much plaque builds up in the arteries‚ they become block the blood flow. P.A.D. usually affects the lower extremities and can cause intermittent claudication and‚ if severe enough‚ gangrene. Many people live with atherosclerosis and P.A.D. and show no symptoms. There are numerous prevention

Providers must review the patient’s medical history for any underlying pulmonary or cardiovascular disease that may be the root cause of dyspnea. Clinical characteristics: Dyspnea with activity is associated with MI‚ chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

changes occur in the aorta‚ arteries and arterioles. The age related changes that occur in muscular arteries are usually known as arteriosclerosis. It involves alterations of the smooth muscle hypertrophy and intimal fibrosis further reducing the diameter of the vessel. Atherosclerosis is the most common arterial abnormality known as arteriosclerosis which is defined as the stiffening or hardening of the artery walls. However‚ atherosclerosis refers to the hardening of the arteries caused by the accumulation

(cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries‚ which have such thin walls‚ that oxygen‚ nutrients‚ minerals‚ and other substances pass through to surrounding cells and tissues. Waste substances flow from the

A Rapid respiratory rate may be due to the presence of an interstitial pulmonary process or the result of a restrictive chest condition. Furthermore‚ the presence of slow‚ gasping ventilations is often a suggestive sign of cerebral hypoxia and ineffective gas exchange. Irregular breathing is often a reflection of significant

disease affects the coronary arteries‚ which supply the heart muscle itself with the glucose and oxygen that it requires for respiration. • Atheroma Atheroma is a fatty deposit that forms within the wall of an artery. It begins as fatty streaks that are accumulations of white blood cells that have taken up low density lipoproteins (LDLs). The streaks can enlarge to form an irregular patch‚ or atheromatous plaque. Atheromatous plaques most commonly occur in larger arteries and are made up of deposits
