PEH Lesson 1 - Non-communicable diseases and Physical Inactivity

Non-communicable diseases

Is a medical condition or disease that is infectious and non transmissible non among people.

Cardiovascular Disease

is a group of degenerative that afflicts the heart and the vessels

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

are cause by lack of blood supply to the heart muscle resulting from a progressive, degenerative disorder known as atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis

involves a build-up and deposition of fat and fibrous plaques in the inner lining of the artery wall.

Heart Attack

the death of heart muscle due to the loss of blood supply.

Myocardial

refers to the myocardium, the heart muscle.

Infarction

is tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen.

High Blood Pressure or Hypertension

it refers to a chronic, persistent elevation of blood pressure.

systolic

measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats.

diastolic

measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests between beats.

Heart Failure

a life modifiable condition in which the heart’s function as pump to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the body is inadequate to meet the body needs.

Heart Failure

it can caused by weaken muscle the heart, stiffening of the heart muscle, increase in oxygen demand by the body tissue beyond the capability of the heart to deliver adequate oxygen rich blood

Stroke

is a damage when the part of the brain is cause by an interruption of blood supply to the brain due to either rupture and leakage.

Ischemic

leakage/blockage

Hemorrhagic

rupture

Diabetes

chronic disease in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces.

Insulin

hormone that controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood

Type 1 Diabetes

juvenile, hereditary

Type 2 Diabetes

common, adults

Cancer

normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong.

Cancer

new cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should.

Tumor

extra cells can form a mass called a

• Ischemic

• Hemorrhagic

Two types of Diabetes

• Type 1

• Type 2

Two kinds of tumors

Physical Inactivity

is a term used to identify people who do not get the recommended level of regular physical activity.
