1 Page disease research paper
This was simply a poster that we blew up in size to present on the night of our exhibition. During the exhibition there were 4 sections of the room, each had a poster giving a quick overview of the disease. I edited, reviewed, wrote and finalized this document you will see below.
Cardiovascular Disease
We welcome you to learn about Cardiovascular Health. Here, you can see the artwork inspired by what we have learned, read health plans for those facing cardiovascular disease and listen to first person accounts of living with caring for others with cardiovascular conditions.
Biologically speaking, What happens when you have a cardiovascular condition?Cardiovascular diseases have a large variety of causes, lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, outside infections, and hereditary factors. When one has Cardiovascular disease, the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries are negatively affected.
There are many genetic variants that contribute to disease and most deal with complex factors such as inflammation, lipid metabolism and blood pressure. In most cases, heart disease includes carotid calcification, plaque, increased levels of lipoproteins and inflammation from C-reactive proteins.
What research is being done into cardiovascular health?Research is being conducted in so many ways as seen in our researcher interviews. This includes working with stem cells, which can become any cell in the body, inflammation response, genetics and genomics and clinical studies.
Other researchers are studying drug therapies such as use of beta blockers, which target beta receptors in heart cells. The beta receptors lead to stress on the organ, which is stimulated by adrenaline. The beta blockers prevent the binding of the adrenaline and the beta receptors.
What can I do right now to limit my danger of getting a cardiovascular disease?D.A.S.H. diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is intended to be a lifelong lifestyle change specially formulated for people who are at a high risk for cardiovascular problems or hypertension. The diet includes specific daily sodium intake requirements depending on the individuals age, height, activity, and genetic background. Low fat and low sodium diets are good for most people. Another thing you want to make sure you do is get 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day and stay away from drinking and smoking. Staying active will keep your heart pumping and your blood flowing, helping the arteries stay unclogged.
Cardiovascular
Welcome to the Cardiovascular corner. Here, you can see the artwork inspired by what we have learned about cardiovascular health, and listen to first person accounts of living with cardiovascular conditions, or watching other people live with (and die from) them.
Biologically speaking, what happens when you have a cardiovascular condition?
Diseases that have been identified within the Cardiovascular system have a large variety of outside infections, Mutations that are hereditary and some harmful conditions that have been developed. The intensity of these conditions range from conditions that are long lasting and work in the body for a longer period of time before suddenly becoming dangerous and fatal, to life threatening diseases which require immediate medical attention. When one has Cardiovascular disease, the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries are attacked and affected.
There are two main genes that have impacted Cardiovascular research in the past. The ApoE3 gene and the ApoE4. The ApoE4 is the ‘bad’ gene and the ApoE3 are the ‘good’ genes. Scientists have been studying the differences of the two genes and how they can be a cause of Cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's as well. When ApoE4, the bad gene, is produced instead of ApoE3, the cells think they are intruders and attack it. Without that molecule the cells cannot function properly.
What research is currently being done into cardiovascular health?Researchers at St.Michael’s Hospital are working on stem cells. Stem cells are and can become any specific cell designed. They are taken from cartilage, or bone marrow usually taken from hips and then using capsules, are injected into places in the body where they are needed. There are also things called beta blockers. The purpose is to target the beta receptors, which are found on the cells of the heart. The beta receptors lead to stress on the organ, which is stimulated by adrenaline. The beta blockers prevent the binding of the adrenaline and the beta receptors. They weaken the effect of stress hormones.
