Liver enzymes WNL ***Please answer the following questions in Narrative form (3-5 sentences each):·       Calculated patient risk of a cardiovascular event·       What are the patients CV risk factors (consider med list)·       Change at least one data parameter (LDL, HDL, smoking cessation, et. al) and provide the new CV risk calculation·       Discuss what resources were most helpful in this tool – Lowering LDL-C booklet – and how it can be used in the clinic setting  **Information already looked up and answers done just need to put into narrative form please, answers below and see attached charts previously done in directions above. Calculated patient risk of a cardiovascular event – See the attached photos for CVD risk calculation. I use ASCVD Risk Estimator and ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus, both show the same answers. 11.3% Risk (for 10 years) and 50% Risk (lifetime)What are the patient’s CV risk factors (consider med list) – According to NHS UK, risk factors for cardiovascular disease includes high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, inactivity, overweight/obesity, family history of CVD, ethnic background, age, diet, and alcohol consumption.      For the patient, his risk factors are age (over 50 years old), ethnic background (African-American), family history of heart disease, hypertension and high cholesterol (based on medicines), and Obese (BMI: 30) Source: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cardiovascular-disease/Change at least one data parameter (LDL, HDL, smoking cessation, et. al) and provide the new CV risk calculation – see the attached photo, I change the “smoking” part. Calculation shows 18.7% risk (for 10 years) and 69% (for Lifetime)Discuss what resources were most helpful in this tool – Lowering LDL-C booklet – and how it can be used in the clinic Ju setting – the most helpful part in this tool (LDL-C Manager) for me is the LDL-C Lowering Therapy part where it assesses the effectivity of the current medications and therapy. In addition, the recommendation part of the ASCVD Risk Estimator is also a great addition for it does not only calculated the risk percentage but also gives guidelines on how to manage that can be explained by the healthcare practitioner to the patient. Reference: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cardiovascular-disease/   Health Science Science Nursing PHA 6009 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
