PowerPoint Presentation

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning to all, it is with much pleasure that I present to you an overview today of New Mansoura University Medicine's research into coronary heart disease. We will be discussing the causes, symptoms, and treatments of coronary artery bypass surgery, stable angina, and dyslipidemia. I look forward to a lively and informative session..

[Audio] Coronary heart disease, or ischemic heart disease, is the most widespread type of heart disease globally. It is caused by the accumulation of plaque in the coronary arteries, hindering and minimizing the blood flow to the heart. Factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, being overweight and having a genetic disposition towards heart disease can all heighten the risk of developing coronary artery disease. Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments that one can receive, such as medications and healthier habits, to effectively address the issue without the necessity of surgery..

[Audio] Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a medical procedure developed to increase blood flow to the heart. It is often performed when coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked. During the procedure, a healthy blood vessel is taken from the patient's leg or chest and grafted onto the affected artery. This creates a new pathway for oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle, reducing the risk of heart attack or other serious complications. CABG is proving to be an increasingly successful medical procedure, leading to improved quality of life for many people..

[Audio] Cardiovascular disease is an increasingly common problem. Stable angina is one type of cardiovascular disease and is caused by insufficient blood or oxygen supply to the heart muscle because of narrowed or blocked arteries. It may result in symptoms such as chest pressure or squeezing, pain or discomfort in various areas of the body including the arms, neck, jaw, shoulder, or back, shortness of breath, sweating, or dizziness. Dyslipidemia is also a causal factor, which is brought about by an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood. This can be related to hereditary, dietary, lifestyles, and other medical variables. To reduce the risk and prevalence of cardiovascular disease, it is important to identify the sources and risks related to both stable angina and dyslipidemia..

[Audio] The subject of this case study is a 21-year-old male who felt chest pain and difficulty breathing while walking uphill. Hospital tests, like electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and cardiac enzymes, did not uncover a tangible issue. Nevertheless, the patient had a higher blood pressure, was overweight, smoked moderately, and had a family history of Coronary Heart Disease. Moreover, the patient had dyslipidemia with lowered levels of HDL and heightened levels of triglycerides and Lp(a). All these signs point to the possibility of Coronary Heart Disease risk..

[Audio] Upon physical examination, the patient's vital signs were normal. Blood pressure was 151/99 mmHg, pulse was 97 beats per minute, respirations 20 breaths per minute, temperature 36.6 °C, and oxygen saturation was 98%. His heart exhibited a regular rate and rhythm without murmurs. It can be reported that the patient was not in acute distress..

[Audio] Coronary heart disease is a major concern for many, with millions suffering from it worldwide. It is important to be aware of the risk factors and keep track of them. Our patient in this case was obese, a smoker, had a family history of coronary artery disease, and had been diagnosed with stable angina, insulin resistance, and mild dyslipidemia. Resting ECG and vital signs were normal, but his stress ECG revealed ventricular tachycardia, elevated blood pressure and pulse bpm. He also reported chest pain, dyspnea, and feeling lightheaded. Monitoring the condition closely and following a specialized treatment plan is essential for such patients to reduce the risk of any further complications..

[Audio] Coronary heart disease is a severe health condition that can influence an individual's quality of life. The patient in this case experienced chest pain and dyspnea, which demonstrated myocardial ischemia. Further examinations uncovered a large, soft plaque in the distal left coronary artery and left anterior descending artery, with occlusions of 80 to 90% and 70 to 80% respectively. Moreover, the echocardiography revealed mild left ventricular hypertrophy. When combined, these results demonstrate that the patient has coronary heart disease. Such a diagnosis requires careful medical attention and guidance from capable healthcare professionals..

[Audio] Coronary heart disease is a major public health concern with potential serious long-term consequences. This figure demonstrates the condition through an arteriogram and a computed tomography angiography, showing the stenosis of the left main coronary artery, left anterior descending coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery, as well as the large soft plaque burden present in the distal LMCA and LAD. Innovations in imaging and diagnostic processes, like the ones used here, assist in diagnosing and treating coronary heart disease more effectively..

[Audio] Coronary heart disease is a considerable hazard when it comes to public health. Its potentially hazardous side effects are well known. In this particular situation, the patient underwent a left cardiac catheterization which showed the left ventricle to be of regular size and contractility, having an ejection fraction of 65%. Investigation of the coronary arteries showed a mild stenosis of the distal left main coronary artery, a long lesion in the proximal left anterior descending artery, and another mild stenosis in the proximal left circumflex artery. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing coronary heart disease and its gravity cannot be overestimated..

[Audio] The patient with coronary heart disease underwent both bypass surgery and optimal medical therapy with strict risk factor reduction. This medical therapy was likely composed of medication and lifestyle changes to manage their condition. The specific type of bypass surgery performed was a two-vessel coronary bypass, which involves bypassing two blocked or narrowed arteries..

[Audio] Heart bypass surgery is a complex procedure involving the re-routing of blood from the aorta to the coronary arteries to bypass any blocked or narrowed arteries. In the case of the two-vessel bypass performed at Mansoura University, a portion of the left internal mammary artery was used to form a graft to the left anterior descending artery to bypass any obstructions. Additionally, the aortocoronary left radial artery was used to create a graft to the lateral circumflex artery. This procedure has a high success rate with minimal risks and recovery time, making it a viable option for coronary heart disease patients..

[Audio] Coronary Heart Disease is a globally pressing issue, placing an immense strain on healthcare systems worldwide; however, recent research has indicated that it is strongly associated with various lifestyle factors. To this end, the Mansoura University in Egypt conducted a study to investigate the association between alcohol consumption and Coronary Heart Disease. The results of this study offer a better understanding of the risk factors associated with Coronary Heart Disease and potential means of decreasing its prevalence..

[Audio] We can see from slide number 14 that our team is highly qualified to ensure that every aspect of this project is ready. The team is made up of ten people - David, Magdy, George, Farid, Ramy, Ramadan, Hassan, Sheref, Hossam and Khaled - all of whom are specialists in their respective areas. They will be responsible for completing tasks such as filling out sheets, gathering images and editing PowerPoint presentations..
