Cardiovascular Disorders Objectives

Vascular Disorders

Contrast hypertension with hypotension, and describe the risk factors and impacts of hypertension; describe the two different types of strokes; and explain what atherosclerosis is, why it is a problems, and why statin drugs are used.

Cardiac Disorders

Describe what a myocardial infarction is, what can occur in coronary arteries, and possible treatments; explain what occurs with a heart murmur and congestive heart failure; describe what an EKG is as well as changes in electrical impulses associated with various arrhythmias.

Blood Disorders

Describe the types of information provided in CBC and CS blood tests; explain the effects of low platelet numbers and sickle-shaped red blood cells; and diagnose different RBC and WBC blood disorders. 

Risk Factors

Indicate how salt and sugar in processed foods can relate to increased risk for cardiovascular disease; distinguish between low density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high density lipoproteins (HDLs); and list three ways cigarette smoking can negatively impact blood vessels.

Introduced in Cardiac Disorders section of this guide:

First Aid Training Plan

First aid is assistance you give to an injured or sick person until full medical treatment is available. For this media piece you are selecting first aid training (new or a refresher course) that you plan on getting at some point in the future.

Your first aid training selection could be a course offered in your community, a web-based online course, a book/model series to purchase, or other form designed by medical professionals.

You do not have to complete the training for this assignment, but we hope you do at some point soon, possibly included as part of the final portfolio.

You are turning in:

A. what the training is that you selected,

B. where you can get this training. Be specific. Is it a community-based course, offered at a particular website, a set of books, etc.?

C. why you chose this particular form of first aid training.

Choose a professional first aid training, for example a course offered by a local medical center. Here are a few online options:

Red Cross First Aid Training. https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/first-aid/first-aid-training

Ideas from CDC (Centers for Disease Control). https://emergency.cdc.gov/training/index.asp

Media Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.

Once you have completed your first aid training plan, upload it to Canvas. Your plan can be submitted as a PDF, a word document, a photo, or even a video. Multiple assignment formats are supported.

Human Biology Portfolio

Portfolio Directions

First aid training would be an excellent example of applied biology knowledge and a good addition to the final portfolio. If you decide to add first aid to your portfolio, examine the nine course outcomes and determine the best fit.
