Coronary Artery Disease Concept Map

Coronary Artery Disease Concept Map. Now let's look at a concept map of our patient that has coronary artery disease. Coronary Artery Disease Concept Map NSG/345 Pathophysiology of Coronary Artery Disease Atherosclerosis is the major cause oc CAD


from

Pathophysiology - (to the cellular level) A plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart Hypertension (known as high blood pressure) Connection: High BP increases the workload on the heart, accelerating the process of atherosclerosis (plaque buidlup)

The plaque that is made up of cholesterol deposits Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in your coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease The build-up in the vessels causes the vessels openings to narrow, decreasing the blood supply to the heart
