Dr Ed Capo-Bianco GP

 Encompasses the cardiovascular system, including disorders of the Heart, Coronary Arteries, Strokes, Aorta and Peripheral Arteries

 In 2011  160,000 deaths due to CVD, around 74,000 due to CAD – UKs biggest killer  Around 103,000 heart attacks a year in UK  152,000 strokes/year, leading to 41,000 deaths Source NHS UK

 CHD (inc Heart attacks, Angina) = 317 on register out of 9681 = 3.2%  Strokes/TIA = 223 patients on register = 2.3%  Peripheral Arterial Disease = 51 patients  Hypertension register = 1490 patients

 Myocardial Infarction/STEMI/ACS  Blockage to the blood supplying the heart muscle – coronary artery  Angina – restriction in the blood supply to the heart muscle, typical producing chest pain or breathlessness on exertion

 2 Main types  Commonest 90% – Blockage to the blood supplying the Brain – called Ischaemic Stroke  10% caused by rupture to a blood vessel – bleed on the brain or Haemorrhagic Stroke  TIA – Transient Ischaemic Attack or ‘Mini- Stroke’ – Symptoms in keeping with a stroke but resolve within 24 hours

 Large blood vessel arising from Heart  Runs through abdominal cavity  Can be aneurysmal – enlarged diameter – risk of rupture  Screening programme for Men at age 65yr  Often asymptomatic

 Restriction of blood supply (arterial) to peripheries  Most commonly legs/feet affected  Typically presents with pain on walking,  Ulcers and reduced sensation in diabetic patients

 Age  Sex  Smoking  Obesity  Hypertension (Raised Blood pressure)  Hypercholesterolaemia  Diabetes  Family History (close relative <60yrs)  Past history of CVD

 Stop smoking  Control Weight  Alcohol in moderation new guidelines <14u for men and women/week  Take regular exercise – 30mins for 5 days a week  Balanced diet, reduced fatty meat, oily fish, nuts, wholemeal, 5 Fruit/Veg a day

 Good vs Bad  Is it all about cholesterol  Good robust clinical evidence that statins reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes as primary and secondary prevention  12% reduction all cause mortality, 30% reduction in coronary and 19% reduction cerebrovascular events  Small risk of Side effects, muscle aches etc

 Commonest Arrhythmia, 8% of over 75yrs  Irregular heart rate  Increases risk of a Stroke  Reason for thinning blood with warfarin, controlling other risk factors  G&W = 253 in total, 197 over 70yrs
