Unit learning outcomes

Expression of what the student will demonstrate the successful completion of the module. Learning outcomes related to quality of life, designed to indicate the knowledge and skills that a typical student to achieve, or be able to evaluate. Learning Outcomes

To improve the health and welfare of your patients based on their particular situation. Autonomy may conflict with the well-being, when the patient does not agree with the recommendations that health care professionals believe that in the interest of the patient (Murray 2006 192). When a conflict of interest occurs with the patient's well-being of the patient, different societies, conflict resolution in a wide range of manners. Western medicine as a whole relies on the wishes of a mentally ill qualified to make their own decisions, even in cases where the medical team believes that he is not acting in his own interest. However, many other societies priorities progress for autonomy. Issues of culture, security, education, health and wellness, care, self-promotion, and planning for long-term maintenance of health care are included in the action. Education needed

My training is necessary to study management of patients with coronary heart disease, particularly angina. Each chronic illness was a unique pattern or profile on these measures. As expected, these measures vary considerably among patients, depending on the state. Hypertension (high blood pressure) had the least impact on the well-being, in contrast to patients with heart problems or gastrointestinal disorders. Assistance provided by general practitioners and cardiac rehabilitation programs for people with known coronary heart disease (CHD) can reduce the frequency of subsequent cardiovascular events and improve survival and quality of life. This requires a systematic application of evidence-based way of life, biomedical and psychosocial management recommendations. Objectives What is the cause of angina?

The most frequent cause of angina is coronary artery disease. Less common cause of angina is coronary artery spasm.

Coronary artery disease

Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Coronary heart disease develops as cholesterol deposits in artery walls, causing the formation of hard, thick substance called cholesterol plaque. Accumulation of cholesterol plaque over time causes a narrowing of the coronary arteries, a process called atherosclerosis (Myers 2004 16). Atherosclerosis may be accelerated by smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. When coronary arteries become narrowed by more than 50% to 70%, they can no longer meet the growing demand for blood oxygen the heart muscle during exercise or stress. Lack of oxygen to the heart muscle causes chest pain (angina). Coronary artery spasm

The walls of the arteries are surrounded by muscle fibers. The rapid decline of these muscle fibers causes a sudden narrowing (spasm) of the arteries. Spasm of the coronary arteries reduces blood to the heart muscle and cause angina. Angina due to coronary artery spasm is called "variant" angina or Prinzmetal angina. Prinzmetal angina typically occurs at rest, usually in the early morning hour (Lilly 201079)s. Seizures may occur in normal coronary arteries, as well as in ...
