Supervisor: Dr. Dan Mircea Farcas, MD Cardiologist

Author: Luminita Boros Huza

1. Pointing out the most important risk factors related to diet and lifestyle, as seen in these patients.

2. Targeted plan for nutritional education, to eliminate the risk factors reviled.

Method: • Examining 40 hospitalized patients• From October 2013 to March 2014• Correlation of data with the diagnostic and lab

analysis of FOGC.

Secondary Diagnosis

Lab Analysis

Atherosclerotic Plaque → thickening + stiffening of arterial walls → decrease of arterial lumen.

Risk Factors: Unbiased: age, gender, heredity, genetic

condition of the lipid metabolism. Biased: smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia (LDL↑,

HDL↓) high blood pressure, diabetes, sedentariness, mental stress.

Other factors: metabolic syndrome; impaired glucose tolerance; triglycerides↑; PCR↑; fibrinogen ↑; homocysteinemy ↑; Lp (a); infections; autoimmune disease, periodontitis.

Gender:

Monthly Income: medium to low

Formal education level: medium to low

Smoking

Physical Activity None of the patients performs intense physical activity

Mental Stress

Lab Analysis

Lipid profile HDL and LDL were not determined for all the patients Values impossible to interpret because of statins

> 190 mg% 42,5%

Triglycerides > 150 mg% 30%

Low income, low formal education, smoking, lack of physical activity and atherogenic diet increase the risk for coronary artery disease

Dietary recommendations: Vegetables↑; fruits↑; whole grains↑; beans↑; nuts↑ Animal proteins and fats↓; choosing low or nonfat dairy

products Restricted sweets consumption (possible already

restricted) Physical exercise, limited by the existing

pathology Quitting smoke Stress management
