CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
![Page 2: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The circulatory system is an organ system that passes nutrients, gases, hormones, blood cells ,etc. to and from cells in the body to fight diseases and help stabilize the temperature of the body. The circulatory system involves the circulation of blood which serves to move blood to a site or sites where it can be oxygenated and wastes can be disposed.
![Page 3: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries.

THE HEART
The heart is the pumping organ in our body. It is the prominent part in the circulatory system.
![Page 5: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
There can be a number of diseases affecting the heart. Let us discuss about some of these diseases.
![Page 6: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ANGINA
It is characterized by severe chest discomfort and pain. It is caused due to lack of blood supply to the muscles of the heart. Basically, it is manifested as a complication by the constriction of the blood vessels. Angina is a warning sign of an heart attack.
![Page 7: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Chest pain during angina
![Page 8: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Preventions and cures Angina can be treated. Most angina
attacks usually last for only a few minutes, and most can be relieved by rest. Other treatment techniques are lowering high blood pressure and following a diet with low fat intake.

ARRHYTHMIA
Arrhythmia is irregular heart rhythm i.e. the heart beats abnormally at a slower or faster rate. Arrhythmia may be congenital and results from a heart defect.
![Page 10: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preventions and cures
Methods are available for prevention of arrhythmia. These methods include relaxation techniques to reduce stress, limit intake of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and stimulant drugs..
![Page 11: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many arrhythmias require no treatment, they are naturally controlled by the body’s immune system. However if it is necessary that arrhythmias must be controlled, they can be controlled by drugs, Cardio version, Automatic implantable defibrillators or an Artificial pacemaker

ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Atherosclerosis results from accumulation of fatty deposits in the walls of the blood vessels, especially arteries. Over a period of time, the arterial walls harden and lose their elasticity. Arteries are primarily affected by atherosclerosis. Complication of atherosclerosis include cardiovascular disease and heart attack.
![Page 13: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Narrowing of artery during Atherosclerosis
![Page 14: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Preventions and cures Spinach, broccoli and other dark green,
leafy vegetables contain substantial amounts of a substance called lutein. High levels of lutein in the blood are associated with a reduced buildup of cholesterol and lower incidences of atherosclerosis.
![Page 15: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CARDIOMYOPATHY
This is caused due to weakening of the heart muscles or myocardium. In the early stages, the ventricular muscles or muscles of the lower heart chamber are affected. If left untreated, it spreads to the upper heart muscles. In severe cases, cardiomyopathy can result in congestive heart failure and at times, death.
![Page 16: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Defect in the heart due to Cardiomyopathy
![Page 17: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Preventions and cures There is no cure for
cardiomyopathy. However, treatments can help control symptoms and prevent the condition from getting worse. Medication can ease blood flow, reduce heart rate, and keep fluid from swelling in your legs or building up in your lungs. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle can help control cardiomyopathy too.
![Page 18: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS
These are defects present at birth and may be mild or severe. The exact cause of congenital heart disease is not known. In some cases, genetic problems cause this defect, while others develop without any reason.
![Page 19: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Defect due to Congenital heart defect
![Page 20: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Preventions and cures
Some congenital heart diseases can be treated with medication alone, while others require one or more surgeries.
![Page 21: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Coronary artery disease or coronary
heart disease is the most common disease of the circulatory system. It is caused due to accumulation of plaque in the coronary arterial walls, which impairs the blood supply to the heart. CAD is the leading cause of death all over the world.
![Page 22: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Defect in the coronary artery
![Page 23: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Preventions and cures
Reduce the amount of fat intake, alcohol.
Reduce the cholesterol level. Do exercise The disease can be cured by bypass or
angioplasty surgery.
![Page 24: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
HYPERTENSION
Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the common disorders of the circulatory system. Hypertension increases the risk of heart attack and other heart diseases.
![Page 25: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Defect in the heart due to hypertension
![Page 26: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Preventions and cures You may be asked to take
one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels. Do not smoke or use tobacco.
Get plenty of exercise, at least 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week
![Page 27: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Nutrition is important to your heart health, Choose a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Choose lean proteins, such as chicken, fish, beans, and legumes.
Eat low-fat dairy products, such as 1% milk and low-fat yogurt.
![Page 28: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Avoid sodium (salt) and fats found in fried foods, processed foods, and baked goods.
Eat fewer animal products that contain cheese, cream, or eggs.
Stay away from "saturated fat" and anything that contains "partially-hydrogenated" or "hydrogenated" fats. These products are usually loaded with unhealthy fats.
![Page 29: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA Hypercholesterolemia is characterized
by an elevated cholesterol level. There are two primary types of cholesterol, namely, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or bad cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or good cholesterol. Presence of high amounts of bad cholesterol (LDL) increases the risk for heart diseases and stroke.
![Page 30: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Defect of hypercholesterolemia
![Page 31: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Preventions and cures Avoid Smoking, Smoking causes the
arteries to narrow, leading to an increase in the blood pressure.
Use cholesterol-lowering drugs, LDL apheresis or liver transplant in cases that don't respond to medication.
![Page 32: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE
Peripheral vascular disease affects the blood circulation to the extreme portions of the body, including the arms and legs. Peripheral artery disease is the most common type of peripheral vascular disease, which is the deposition of fatty acids in the arterial walls. Symptoms include tingling, numbness and other complications in the extremities.
![Page 33: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Defect due to peripheral vascular disease

Preventions and cures
Management of diabetes. Management of hypertension. Management of cholesterol, and
medication with antiplatelet drugs. Medication with aspirin ,clopidogrel and statins,
Regular exercise
![Page 35: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
After a trial of the best medical treatment outline above, if symptoms remain unacceptable, patients may be referred to a. vascular or endovascular surgeon.
Angioplasty can be done on solitary lesions in large arteries, such as the femoral artery, but angioplasty may not have sustained benefits.
![Page 36: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Plaque excision, in which the plaque is scraped off of the inside of the vessel wall.
Occasionally, bypass grafting is needed to circumvent a seriously stenosed area of the arterial vasculature.
![Page 37: Circulatory system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560e745d8b42a3d768b4f54/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Lets hope that the number of heart patients will be reduced.
Its we who are responsible for the diseases caused in our body.
SO TAKE CARE
