Hypertensive Atherosclerotic
Cardiovascular Disease (HASCVD)
is an arterial disease characterized
by narrowing of the arteries by
atherosclerosis (plaque formation)
that obstruct (stenosis) or narrow
(sclerosis) necessary blood flow to
a specific part of the heart
accompanied with increased blood
pressure.
HASCVD is a medical way of
saying "blocked arteries secondary
to cholesterol plaques and in the
setting of hypertension." It
describes a common clinical
syndrome, where the walls of
coronary (heart) arteries are lined
with cholesterol plaques.
It¶s the progressive hardening of
the arteries due to long standing
hypertension. In this case
cardiovascular arteries are
hardened, compromising blood flow
to the heart muscle and tissue.
Complications include Angina
Pectoris, MI (Heart Attack) and
Heart failure.
Patient C.G., female, aged 55,
consulted the Medical Center
Muntinlupa (MCM) Emergency
Room (ER) last November 25, 2009
with chief complaint of numbness
on her left arm coincided with chest
pain which she described as
radiating from her sternum area
towards her xyphoid process.
She roughly estimated it lasting
about 10-15 minutes. A week prior
to admission, she reported
experiencing generalized body
weakness and occasional radiating
chest pain related to stress and
fatigue. She was accompanied by
her husband.
She stated that approximately 10
years ago (year 2000) she was first
diagnosed of hypertension. When
asked about medications she is
currently taking, she stated that she
takes µNeobloc¶, an anti
hypertensive drug belonging to the
classification of Calcium channel
blockers.
With this, she also claimed no
familial history of hypertension or
any related cardiovascular disease
but she stated a link in the
genealogy that manifested diabetes
on her paternal side.
When asked about her lifestyle,
she openly shared that when she
was at her peak age (she
approximated it between teens to
her late twenties) she lived carefree
and was engaging in vices like
smoking, drinking and eating foods
high in fat and sodium.
ày the time morning came, she
was so exhausted that she¶d doze
off through the day and listen to
music. Realization of her µsedentary
lifestyle¶ only dawned upon her
when she started her family.
þpon initial assessment, patient
was 57 inches tall and weighed
106.7 lbs. She is not in distress and
is conscious and coherent. Initial
vital signs T=36ÛC, PR= 120bpm,
RR=20 and àP=150/90 clearly
shows presence of hypertension. In
relation to this, she was confined to
rest and given a dose of
Nitroglycerin.
She was also ordered to undergo
several diagnostic tests such as: 1.
àlood Studies, 2. àþN, Creatinine,
3. Troponin T, 4. þrinalysis, 5. CT
Scan, 6. FàS and Cholesterol level.
þpon analysis of the data stated,
patient was diagnosed with
Hypertensive Atherosclerostic
Cardiovascular Disease (HASCVD).
