Introduction

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the ___leading cause of death in the U.S.

___American dies from CVD every 33 seconds

Nearly ___ %of all Americans will die from CVD

CVD is the ________cause of death for both men and women

2

Cardiovascular System

• Heart, blood vessels, hormones, enzymes and wastes.

• Four chambers (size of a fist).

– Upper chambers (Atriums).

– Lower chambers (Ventricles).

Vena cava- Largest Vein

Aorta- Largest Artery

Major Forms of Cardiovascular Disease

• Hypertension - may cause damage even before it is ever detected.

• Atherosclerosis - narrowed by fatty deposits.

• Heart Attack - Vessels in the heart become blocked.

• Stroke - Impeded blood supply to a part of the brain.

• Congestive Heart Failure - Blood backs up in the veins leading to the heart.

Major Forms of Cardiovascular Disease cont….

• Angina Pectoris - Chest pain; heart doesn’t get enough O 2. (Kehr’s sign.).

• Arrhythmia’s - Abnormal Heartbeat - Disruption of the electrical system - can lead to sudden death.

Risk Factors

Contributing Risk Factors

Six Major Risk Factors that can be changed.

– Tobacco use .

– Physical inactivity.

– Obesity – High blood pressure.

– Diabetes

(Doubles the risk of CVD)

– High levels of cholesterol.

• LDL’s and HDL’s 7

Protecting Yourself Against CVD

• Total Fats less than 30% • Low Saturated Fats • Increased Dietary Fiber • Moderation of Alcohol • No smoking • Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, folic acid, vitamin B-6 & B-12,soy protein, and total calories. »

Protecting Yourself Against CVD

• Moderate physical activity • Blood pressure monitored twice a year • Control Cholesterol levels • Effective means of controlling stress 9

Practice Diaphragmic Breathing Pay attention to your thoughts Practice MINDFULNESS

How Cancer Spreads

Metastasis:

Primary tumor – Definition: the spreading of cancer cells, occurs because cancer cells do not stick to each other as strongly as normal cells.

• Cells break away from primary tumor and invade surrounding tissues or travel through the blood and lymphatic system.

• Secondary tumor or metastases 13

14

Types of Cancer

• Malignant Tumors – Classified according to the types of cells.

• Initially retain some of the original properties of the host cell.

• Carcinomas - most common - start from the epithelial tissue that cover body surfaces. Linings, tubes, cavities and secretion glands.

15

Malignant Tumors

• Sarcomas: arise in connective and fibrous tissues. Bone, muscle, cartilage and membranes covering muscle or fat.

• Lymphomas: Cancers of the lymph nodes.

• Leukemia: cancer of the blood-forming cells in bone marrow.

16

The Incidence of Cancer

• 1.3 million Americans are diagnosed yearly • More than half will be cued.

• About 40% will die as a result of cancer.

• 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be develop cancer during their lifetime.

17

18

Common Cancers

• Lung Cancer: Most common cancer.

– Risk Factors • Tobacco smoking contributes to 87%.

– Combined with environmental carcinogens multiply by 10.

– Detection and Treatment (Difficult to detect) • Symptoms are not detected until cancer has reached the invasive stage.

• Persistent cough, chest pain, or recurring bronchitis.

• Diagnosis - chest x-ray or sputum examination - fiber optic bronchosectomy.

19

Common Cancers

• Lung Cancer treatment: – Difficult to treat.

– Surgery- removal of involved cells.

– Typically- cancer cells have already spread.

– Very resistant to chemotherapy.

20

Common Cancers

• Colon and Rectal- second most prevalent cancer.

– Risk Factors • Directly linked to diet and genetic predisposition.

• Mostly occurs after 50 yr. of age.Diet low in fat and High in fiber - best defense.

• Up to 1/3 of the population is genetically prone.

– Detection and Treatment 21

Common Cancers

• Breast Cancer - Second most common cancer in women; 1:9 American women will have it during her lifetime.

– Risk Factors • Most common in women over 50 • 5 year survival rate is 79% • “Disease of Civilization” • Common causes: Genetic predisposition; High fat, High calorie diet and Sedentary lifestyle, Alcohol use, early onset of menstruation, First child after 30 and obesity • Estrogen -cancer in estrogen-responsive sites – Detection and Treatment 22

Common Cancers

• Breast Cancer -.

– Three part program for early detection.

• Monthly breast self-exam for all women over 20.

• Clinical breast exam by a physician every 3 yr.

• Mammography- Every 1-2 years 40-50 yr. old.

– Over 50 every year.

– New Strategies for Treatment and Prevention 23

Common Cancers

• Prostate Cancer - Most common cancer in men. Third leading cause of cancer deaths in men – Risk Factors - Age, diet, lifestyle and genetic predisposition – Early detection is key. PSA Blood test – Treatment - surgical removal of the prostate and radiation 24

Common Cancers

• Female Reproductive Tract: Uterus, Cervix or Ovaries.

– Cervical cancer - sexually transmitted.

• 80% stems from infection by the papillomavirus transmitted by unprotected sex.

• PAP Test – Cervical cancer most common in women in their 20’s and 30’s.

• Factors: sexual intercourse before 18, multiple sex partners, cigarette smoking and low socioeconomic status.

25

Common Cancers

• Uterine, or Endometrial: – Occurs after 55 – Determined by Pelvic Exam – Treatment is surgery • Ovarian Cancer: Difficult to detect and diagnosis, No warning signs – Family history or genetic factors – Determined by Pelvic Exam – Treatment is surgery & radiation 26

Common Cancers

• Skin Cancer: Most common form – Easily detected and highly curable – Exposure to ultraviolet rays during childhood – Common cause - sunburns and suntans – Types: • Basal and Squamous • Melanoma - more dangerous form – Prevention – Detection and Treatment 27

28

Common Cancers

• Oral Cancer • Testicular Cancer • Pancreatic Cancer • Stomach Cancer • Bladder Cancer • Kidney Cancer • Brain Cancer 29

Common Cancers

• Leukemia: – Cancers of the blood forming tissues – Abnormal production of immature white blood cells; rapidly growing cells displace red blood cell precursors – Immature WBC’s cannot fight off infections – Risk factors are unknown 30

Common Cancers

• Lymphoma – Arising from the lymph cells • Hodgkin’s disease • Non-Hodgkin’s disease • Multiple Myeloma – Malignant plasma cells produce tumors in the bone marrow.

• Leads to anemia, excessive bleeding and decreased resistance to infection 31

The Cause of Cancer

• The Role of DNA – Each cells has 23 pairs of chromosomes • Each controls the way a cell will work • A gene • DNA Mutations and Cancer – Changes the way the cells function – Mutagens – Oncogenes – Tumor suppressor genes • Hereditary Risks 32

Links to Cancer

• Foods: – Both carcinogens and compounds that provide protection • Dietary Fat and Meat (Saturated Fats) • Alcohol • Dietary Fiber • Fruits and Vegetables – Anticarcinogens – Carotenoids – Antioxidants versus Free radicals • Phytochemicals • Sulforaphane 33

• • • • • • • • • •

Foods That Contain Cancer Preventing Substances

• Kale Broccoli • Spinach Brussels sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Carrots Red peppers Tomato Sweet potato Collard greens • • • • • • • • Apricot Cantaloupe Grapefruit Orange Papaya Peach Plum Watermelon Green Tea 34

Links to Cancer

• Inactivity and Obesity – Linked to colon cancer • Benefits of Physical Activity 35

Carcinogens in the Environment

• Ingested Chemicals • Environmental and Industrial pollution • Radiation 36

Detecting, Diagnosing, and Treating Cancer

• Detecting – Self-monitoring • Diagnosing – Biopsy – Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – Computed tomography (CT) – Ultrasonography 37

Detecting Cancer

• • • • • • • •

Self Monitoring is Essential C A

Change in bowel or bladder habits A sore that does not heal

U T

Unusual bleeding or discharge Thickening or lump in breasts or elsewhere

I O

Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing Obvious change in a wart or mole

N

Nagging cough or hoarseness 38

39

Detecting, Diagnosing and Treating Cancer

• Treatment: – Surgery – Chemotherapy – Radiation Therapy • New and Experimental – Gene therapy – Bone marrow and Stem Cell transplants – Biological therapies 40

Cancer Survivors

• Must live with fear of recurrence • Face prejudice from health insurers • Psychological support is important • Financial impact 41

Prevention

• Lifestyle choices – Avoid tobacco – Control diet and weight – Regular exercise – Protecting skin from the sun – Avoiding environmental and occupational carcinogens – Regular self exams – Medical screenings – Be aware of the early signs and symptoms 42
