Course Description:

Understanding Heart Failure:
Heart failure is a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, leading to a range of symptoms that can significantly impact one’s quality of life. It’s not just about the heart being “weak,” but it’s often due to other underlying conditions like coronary artery disease or high blood pressure that weaken the heart over time. This course will guide you through the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management strategies for this complex condition.

Heart Failure Symptoms:

• Shortness of Breath (Dyspnea): Feel like you’re gasping for air even during routine activities or while lying flat?
• Fatigue and Weakness: Finding it harder to perform daily tasks due to a lack of energy?
• Leg Swelling (Edema): Notice your feet, ankles, or legs retaining fluid?
• Irregular Heartbeat: Experiencing palpitations or skipped heartbeats?
• Decreased Exercise Tolerance: Struggling to keep up with your usual exercise routine?
• Wheezing: Hearing a whistling sound in your chest during breathing?
• Persistent Cough: Coughing up white or pink mucus, sometimes tinted with blood?
• Abdominal Swelling (Ascites): Noticing an unusual bump or bloating in your abdomen area?

Delving into Hypercholesterolemia:
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to plaque buildup in arteries and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The most prevalent type, polygenic hypercholesterolemia, is influenced by genetics but also heavily swayed by lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity—or lack thereof. This course will explore the latest research on cholesterol management and how to effectively modify risk factors through diet and lifestyle changes.

Key Causes of Hypercholesterolemia:

• An intricate interplay of genetic predisposition, where multiple genes are involved.
• A sedentary lifestyle that minimizes physical activity.
• High intake of saturated and trans-fatty acids in the diet, which can exacerbate the condition.
