This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Heart Attack, plaque may break off and travel in a process called embolus, high blood pressure (hypertension) may be treated with drugs, hypercholesterolemia may be treated with drugs, Type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) must take insulin, coronary arteries have an endothelium (innermost layer), diabetes mellitus requires lower than 130/85 mm Hg high blood pressure (hypertension), arteries may be coronary arteries, benefits such as high patient acceptance, endothelium (innermost layer) is damaged by high triglycerides, animal-based usually contains cholesterol, blood clots (thrombus) may block coronary arteries, increasing age is NOT a controllable risk factor, calcium antagonists (calcium channel blockers) reduce heart rate, physical inactivity increases the risk of other controllable risk factor, coronary arteries when blocked partially or completely, cause Heart Attack (myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis, coronary occlusion), endothelium (innermost layer) is damaged by high cholesterol, artherosclerosis risk is increased with obesity, tobacco smoke exposure is a controllable risk factor, embolus may block coronary arteries, obesity is defined as too much body fat
