Coronary Heart Disease and Coronary Heart Disease and HypertensionHypertension
CV disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S.
We’ll look at the primary underlying disease process, atherosclerosis, and the various risk factors involved
We’ll explore ways to use nutritional approaches to reduce these risk factors and help prevent disease
2
Key Concepts◦Several risk factors contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and HTN, many of which are preventable by improved food habits and lifestyle behaviors
◦Other risk factors are non- modifiable such as age, gender, family hx. and race
◦HTN maybe classified as “essential” (primary) or secondary HTN
◦Early education is critical for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis
Disease process◦Fatty fibrous plaques develop into fatty streaks on inside lining of major blood vessels. Process may begin in childhood fatty streaks, largely composed of cholesterol
◦Gk. Athera = “gruel”; Sclera = “hardening”◦The fatty fibrous process thickens over time, narrowing the interior part of the blood vessel impeding or cutting off blood flow to cells beyond the blockage
6
AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis
◦Cells die when deprived of their normal blood supply.
◦The local area of dying or dead tissue is called and “infarct”.
◦If affected vessel is major artery supplying heart muscle, result could be myocardial infarction (heart attack).
◦If affected vessel is major artery supplying brain, result could be cerebrovascular accident.
7
AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis
The major arteries and their branches serving the heart are called coronary arteries
The overall disease process is coronary heart disease
Common symptom: angina pectoris or chest pain, usually radiating down the arm
13
Relation to Fat MetabolismRelation to Fat Metabolism
Elevated blood lipids associated with coronary heart disease◦Triglycerides—simple fats in body or food
◦Cholesterol—fat-related compound produced in body; also in foods from animals
◦Lipoproteins—“packages” wrapped with protein that carry fat in the blood stream
14
Relation to Fat MetabolismRelation to Fat Metabolism
Lipoproteins are grouped and named according to their protein, fat, and cholesterol content (e.g. density – those with higher protein content have higher density
15
Types of LipoproteinsTypes of Lipoproteins
3 of these types of lipoprotein found in the liver are significant in relation to heart disease risk:
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)◦Carry large load of triglycerides to cells◦Include approx. 12% cholesterol
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)◦Carry two thirds of total plasma cholesterol to body tissues constantly send cholesterol to tissues “bad cholesterol”
16
Types of LipoproteinsTypes of Lipoproteins
High-density lipoproteins (HDL)
Carry less total fat and more protein
Not found in foods; produced in the liver. Takes cholesterol from tissues to liver for breakdown and elimination
17
Risk FactorsRisk Factors
Sex – CVD occurs more often in men than women until menopause, at which time the relative risks are the same
Age – general risk increases with age (men > 45 years and women > 55 years)
18
Risk FactorsRisk Factors
Heredity – ethnic groups that have a higher incidence of risk factors and CVD; including “familial hypercholesterolemia” and “familial hypertryglyceridemia”.
Ethnic groups include: African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans
19
Risk FactorsRisk Factors
Elevated serum cholesterol – major risk factor especially when combined with obesity, lack of exercise, stress, smoking, and increased food intake
Compounding diseases – diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome
Dietary fat – affects serum cholesterol
20
National Cholesterol Education National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) GuidelinesProgram (NCEP) Guidelines
Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes approach
Total energy intake = energy expenditure
Total fat should not exceed 25-35% of diet
Avoid trans fatty acidsCHO mainly from complex CHOs
21
National Cholesterol Education National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) GuidelinesProgram (NCEP) Guidelines
Total protein from sources other than animals should be included
Total cholesterol intake < 200mg/day
Exercise to expend at least 200 kcals/day
22
Drug TherapyDrug Therapy
In the event that LDL cholesterol is above goal range, drug therapy may be added to diet therapy depending on the level of risk
23
Acute Cardiovascular DiseaseAcute Cardiovascular Disease
May be associated with MI◦When CV disease progresses to the point of cutting off the blood supply to major coronary arteries, a critical vascular event – heart attack/MI- may occur.
After an infarction, enzymes and proteins are released from the damaged heart muscle = “cardiac markers”◦ can be measured in blood tests: CPK, ◦TROPONIN is heart muscle- specific
24
Acute Cardiovascular DiseaseAcute Cardiovascular Disease
Initial phase Objective: cardiac restImmediate care includes: analgesics and supplemental oxygen
All care, including diet, is directed toward ensuring that the heart rests so that the damaged heart can be restored to normal functioning
25
Acute Cardiovascular DiseaseAcute Cardiovascular Disease
Principles of diet therapy◦Reduced energy intake (1200-1500 kcal) – a
brief period of reduced energy intake during the first day or so after the heart attack reduces the metabolic workload on the damaged heart.
◦Soft food texture – easily digested to avoid excess effort in eating or the discomfort of gas formation
◦Controlled amount and type of fat◦Mild sodium restriction (2-3 g/day)
26
Chronic Heart DiseaseChronic Heart Disease
CHF and pulmonary edema
The progressively weakened heart
muscle is unable to maintain an adequate cardiac output to sustain normal circulation fluid imbalance pulmonary edema.
27
Chronic Heart DiseaseChronic Heart Disease
Objective: control of pulmonary edema and resulting fluid imbalance◦Mild-severe sodium
restriction◦Fluid restriction –
often limited to 1500 ml. /day
◦Texture – soft foods◦Small meals◦Alcohol – limited or
avoided
28
Essential HypertensionEssential Hypertension
Hypertension called the “silent disease”Essential HTN – specific cause is unknownSecondary HTN – HTN is a symptom or
side effect of another primary conditionRisk Factors:Highly inherited disorderObesity worsensCan begin in adolescent yearsMade worse by physical inactivity, stress,
alcohol and drug use, and salt intake.
29
Types of Hypertensive Blood Pressure LevelsTypes of Hypertensive Blood Pressure Levels
Adult normal BP – 120/80 or belowStage 1 hypertension
◦Focus on diet therapy, without drugs◦Reduce excess weight and restrict sodium
Stage 2 hypertension◦Diet therapy and drugs, as needed◦Use of diuretic and potassium replacement
Stage 3 hypertension◦Diet therapy and vigorous drug therapy
30
Principles of Medical Nutrition TherapyPrinciples of Medical Nutrition Therapy
Weight management—lose weight and maintain appropriate weight for height
Increase Physical activity
Sodium controlOther minerals—
calcium, magnesium may be beneficial
31
Principles of Medical Nutrition TherapyPrinciples of Medical Nutrition Therapy
DASH diet – Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
4-6 servings fruit4-6 “” veggie2-3 “” low-fat dairyLean meatsHigh-fiber grains14 days to lower B/P

Education and Prevention Practical Food GuidesEducation and Prevention Practical Food Guides
Food planning and purchasing◦Control energy intake; read labels
◦Eat fresh foods with small selection of processed foods, if any
33
Education and Prevention Practical Food GuidesEducation and Prevention Practical Food Guides
Food preparation◦Use less salt and fat◦Use seasonings
instead (herbs, spices, lemon, onion, garlic, etc.)
◦Take time to cookSpecial needs:
individual adaptation of diet principles according to preferences, ethnic diets, and food habits
34
Education PrinciplesEducation Principles
Start earlyPrevention begins in
childhood, especially with children in high-risk families
Focus on high-risk groups
Direct education to people and families with risk of heart disease and hypertension
