Instructed on some potential complications of constipation, such as: valsalva maneuver (may be caused by straining, causing a slowed pulse, decreased blood return and increased venous pressure).
Instructed on some factors that may increase the risk of developing/exacerbating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), such as: cigarette smoking and elevated blood pressure, among others.
Taught that Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a narrowing or blockage of one or both of the coronary arteries causing a decreased blood and oxygen supply to the heart.
Instructed on some measures aimed to controlling/managing Angina Pectoris, such as: avoid cigarette smoking (it constricts blood vessels) and take corresponding medications exactly as directed by MD, among others.
Instructed on some measures aimed to controlling/managing Angina Pectoris, such as: have blood pressure monitored closely and achieve/maintain ideal weight, among others.
Taught that high blood pressure may constitute as a precipitating factor of Angina Pectoris.
Taught that lack of oxygen occurs when insufficient blood flows through the coronary arteries.
Taught that, in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), the decrease in the amount of blood pumped with each heart contraction causes an increase in circulatory pressure.
Taught that Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a syndrome in which the heart is unable to pump an adequate supply of blood to meet the oxygen and nutritional needs of the body.
Instructed on some signs/symptoms of activity intolerance in response to physical activity, such as: excessive increase/decrease in blood pressure.
