NSC 4312 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Framingham Risk Score, High-Density Lipoprotein, Behavioral Medicine
Document Summary
As of date of text its is unclear of the best way to identify atherosclerotic plaques that will go on to rupture. Think about how the procedure can affect the patient stress or anxiety levels. If they have other disabilities how are they going to respond to the interventions. If they are not happy with it little things can throw them off and after this incision. The person may react very strongly- how does one anticipate this: risk identification, predicting risk of chd. Newer markers: c-reactive proteins, an independent predictive validity above and beyond traditional risk factors, risk factors and behavioral medicine, behavioral risk factors. Poor diet: can be behavioral, comfort foods are physiologically rewarding, normative culture influences dietary behaviors. Adverse psychosocial factors- depression: affects behavioral responses and how it affects biological pathways anxiety. If one eliminates a certain risk factor that is how much the incidence rate will drop in the population: clinical risk factors.
