Chapter 11, Problem 46CT
John is a 30-year-old man who is overweight and smokes. He has been diagnosed with hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Define each of these conditions. How are they often related? Why is hypertension called the “silent killer”? Name three changes in your lifestyle that might help prevent cardiovascular disease in your old age.

Tia developed Rheumatic heart disease when she was 19 years old that caused stenosis of her mitral valve. Long-standing mitral stenosis led to left atrial enlargement. She is 29 now and her cardiologist, Dr. Irma Wu, advised her replacement of the mitral valve. According to her doctor, after the valve replacement, she would require life-long blood thinners.
Using your knowledge of physiology, explain how can clot formation be prevented prophylactically?
Knowing ECG. Do you think you can predict atrial enlargement from ECG? Why or why not? Support your answer with reasoning.
Roberto is a 78-year-old male who has recently been diagnosed with Class III Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). His physician told him that his left ventricle has become stiff and cannot relax. Although there is no current treatment that can “fix” Roberto’s condition, he is prescribed two medications: an ACE inhibitor and beta blockers.
There are multiple types of CHF. Which of these types does Roberto have?
Systolic heart failure
Diastolic heart failure
Right-sided heart failure
None of these choices is correct.
Why do hypertension and dyslipidemia increase the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease?
