Non-Infectious Diseases
Non-Infectious Disease
Not caused by pathogens
Cannot be transmitted to other people
Risk factors:
Genetics
Life-style
Environmental factors
Genetic Risk Factors
Determined by genes
Congenital disease is present at birth
Others don’t show up until later in life
Familial Disease Tendency
Disease runs in family
Genetic Risk Factors
Recessive gene
disorders
Need recessive gene from
both parents
Can be a carrier
Cystic fibrosis & sickle cell
anemia
Down syndrome
Born with extra
chromosome
Genetic Risk Factors
Sex-linked disorders
Linked to x chromosome
(female)
Can be recessive in females
Color blindness, hemophilia,
& muscular dystrophy
Environmental Risk Factors
Pollution
Smoke
Sunlight
Radiation
Altitude
Water
Lifestyle Risk Factors
Diet
Obesity
Exercise
Alcohol
Tobacco
Stress
Sleep

Cardiovascular Disease
Disease of Cardiovascular system
CV system is…
Heart
Blood Vessels
Arteries
Vein
Capillaries
Blood
Types of CV Disease
Hypertension
Arteriosclerosis
Atherosclerosis
Heart Attack
Stroke
Arrhythmias
Heart Valve Disorder
Varicose Veins
Hypertension
High Blood Pressure
Normal=120/80
Over 120/80= At risk
High=150/90
Thickening of blood vessel walls
Narrows passageways for blood
Arteriosclerosis
Hardening of the
arteries
Narrows blood
vessels & blocks
blood flow
Atherosclerosis
Fat deposits in
blood vessels
Heart Attack
Caused by lack of oxygen delivery to cells
Coronary heart disease
Blockage of coronary arteries
Caused by fat deposits and/or blood clots
Causes heart attack
Cardiac Arrest
Entire heart stops
Stroke
Disrupts blood flow to brain
No oxygen to brain
Brain cells die
Caused by fatty deposits, blood clots, or
burst arteries
Aneurysm
Weak spot in blood vessel that can burst
Stroke
Effects
Speech
Senses
Movement
Memory
Behavior
Depending on side
of the brain
Heart Valve Disease
4 valves in heart
2 between atria & ventricle
2 between heart & arteries
Bypass Surgery
Arrhythmias &
Varicose Veins
Arrhythmias
Abnormal
heart beat
Pacemaker
Defibrillator
Varicose Veins
•Large blue
veins
•One-way
valves don’t
work
Testing & Diagnosis
Electrocardiogram (ECG/ EKG)
Stress Test
Graphs electrical impulses and heart beats
ECG during exercise
Chest X-Ray
Picture of heart
Prevention
Don’t smoke
Exercise regularly
Manage stress
Manage diet
Avoid saturated fat & cholesterol
Replace red meat with chicken and fish
Eat more fruits & veggies
Avoid sweets, oils, & fats

Diagnosis
Early detection!!!!!!!!
Screening
Self-test
Pap-test
Cervical
Colonoscopy
Looks
examination
inside colon
Biopsy
Removal
of cell/ tissue for examination
Treatment
Chemotherapy
Drugs that kill cancer cell
Often taken in combination
Pill or injection form
Radiation Therapy
Radiation can stop growth/
division of cancer cells
Surgery
Removal of tumor or cancer
cells
