CB5c Cardiovascular disease

Answer the questions below:
1. Is alcoholic liver cirrhosis a communicable or non-
communicable disease? non-communicable
2. Explain your answer to question 1. (cannot be passed
from person to person)
3. Which type of disease is passed from parent to
offspring in their genes? (genetic disease)
4. What causes malnutrition? (a poor diet/diet without
the right balance of nutrients)
5. What causes a deficiency disease? (not getting
enough of a nutrient from food)
 CB5c Cardiovascular disease
1. Describe how obesity is measured (BMI and waist :
hip calculations).

2. Describe how obesity correlates with

cardiovascular disease.

3. Describe how smoking correlates with

cardiovascular disease.

4. Explain why exercise and diet affect obesity.

5. Compare how cardiovascular diseases are treated

How is obesity measured?
Think-Pair-Share
How is obesity measured?

Assumes that the mass

of other tissues is in
proportion to height

Why might this

assumption give
misleading results?
Obesity is a form of malnutrition.
Why?
 Obesity is a form of malnutrition.
• Diet high in fat and sugar

• Large amount of fat stored

under the skin and around
vital organs such as the heart
and kidneys

• Fat is needed to cushion

organs, store energy and
vitamins. Task:
What is cardiovascular disease?

• Too much fat increases the What are the signs that a person may be
developing cardiovascular disease?
risk of some diseases including
cardiovascular disease.
 Waist-to-hip ratio
• Waist : hip

• Abdominal fat is very

closely linked to
cardiovascular
disease

• Calculated by: dividing

waist by hip
measurement

• This is considered to
be more reliable
that BMI
 Task
Look at the graph
opposite:
• Use the data to
describe the
relationship between
obesity and
cardiovascular disease.

Support: As the BMI of a

person increase the

5. Compare how cardiovascular diseases are treated

 The Practical:
Find out your BMI
Name Height Weight BMI Calliper
reading

Support :Use your learnpads or tablets to

convert cm to ft and inches
 The Practical

 How does your BMI result compare with your

calliper reading?
 Why can not you not trust your results?
 Smoking and disease
• Some of the
substances inhaled
from tobacco smoke
are able to enter the
blood stream.

• Causes:
– damage to blood
vessels
– Increase in blood
pressure due to
narrowing of vessels
– Increased risk of
blood clots

Treatment
 Treating cardiovascular disease
• Use your learnpads to research how cardiovascular
disease is treated. Give examples of each and write
how they work. Work in 3’s and write your findings down.
– life-long medication
• such as beta-blockers or blood-thinning medicines
– surgical procedures
• such as bypass or stent surgery
– lifestyle changes
• such as giving up smoking, increasing exercise and improving diet.

• Extend – explain why ‘prevention is better than a cure’ is

a better approach to tackling cardiovascular disease.

• Need help? – explain why a doctor may advise a patient

with a high BMI to give up smoking and to exercise more

 Heart bypass

Watch the video

1. What is a heart
bypass?
2. How is it carried
out?
 Heart bypass

• Blocked arteries can be bypassed by

inserting other blood vessels so that the
heart is supplied with oxygen and
nutrients again.

• Lifelong medication such as aspirin is

often prescribed after surgery.
 Stent
• Method for
widening a
narrowed
blood vessel
