Impacts Of Heart Diseases On Canadian Society

8. How Will It Have An Affect On The Economy?

CVD was also said to have had the highest percentage of days in the hospital when compared to other health problems (17% of all days) 19% men 15% women.

In 2005 to 2006, cardiovascular diseases were the primary reasons for hospitalization For 17% of all hospitalizations - There was 20% men 14% women. The percentage doubled when hospitalizations counted CVD as a related condition were included.

In 2007, there was 34.6 million visits (10% of all visits) were made by Canadians to their community physicians for the treatment and management of CVD

In 2009, there was an estimated 65.7 million prescriptions that were released for the treatment of CVD - it was a tremendous increase from 2005 where there were 57.4 million prescriptions released. As well, as in 2003, there were 52.5 million prescriptions released.

The total costs for CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) include: Health care costs Direct cost $7.6 billion Indirect cost $14.6 billion which resulted in a loss of economic productivity which was because of disability or death.

In 2000, CVD costs in Canada costed around $22.2 billion - the 2nd highest total cost amidst all other diagnostic categories. It was slightly less than musculoskeletal diseases which was the highest total cost.

7. Will More People Develop CVD Later in The Future?

With the increasing amount of people who are obese and diabetic and more people who are elderly will lead to an increased amount of people with CVD (Cardiovascular Disease)

6. Heart Diseases In Canada

Subtopic

Around 300, 000 Canadians have reported that they have lived with a stroke. 12 years and older — 1% 75 years and older — 7%

1.3 million Canadians reported having been diagnosed by a medical professional that they have heart disease. 12 years and older 5% 75 years and older 23%.

As the number of risk factors for CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) gets greater, so does the risk for getting CVD (Cardiovascular Disease).

4 out of 10 people have 3 or more of these heart risk factors for CVD (Cardiovascular Disease)

9 out of 10 people have been diagnosed with 1 heart risk factor for CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) at age 20 or over.

5. How Does Canada Rate Its' Mortality Rates With Its Peers

Canada rates 6th place in total out of the 16 countries

4. How Do The Provinces and Territories Of Canada Differ From Those of Our International Peers.

Quebec is the only province to receive a Grade A with a mortality rate of 124.6 per 100, 000

Nunavut is ranked at the top of the list in Canada with the second lowest mortality rate (97.2 per 100, 000) in the world, while France is rated first with an average mortality rate of 84.5 per 100, 000.

3. Mortality Rates Due To Stroke and Heart Disease in Canada

Strokes (Cerebrovascular Disease) account around 20% of the deaths in Canada.

More than half the deaths in Canada that are a result from poor circulatory system are due to Coronary Artery Disease (Ischemic Heart Disease) which is where there is not enough blood that is sent to the heart to keep it healthy.

In 2011, there was a reported of 46,852 deaths all related to heart disease and stroke.

In Canada, heart disease and stroke resulted in 20% of all deaths in Canada.

2. How Does A Healthy Heart Work?

7. When the rich-oxygenated blood is used up, veins bring the poor oxygenated blood back through the right Atrium and the process repeats.

6. Once in the left Ventricle, it fills up with the rich-oxygenated blood and when full, it flows into the Aortic valve and out the Aorta into the rest of the body

5. Once in the left Atrium, it contracts when it is filled with rich-oxygenated blood and then the Mitral valve opens up which is between the left Atrium and the left Ventricle. Once the Mitral valve opens, the rich-oxygenated blood flows into the left Ventricle.

4. When the blood reaches the lungs, carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and fresh oxygen is added making it rich with oxygen. This rich-oxygen blood then flows into the left Atrium.

3. When your right Ventricle is full, it flows through the Pulmonary valve.

2. When your right Atrium is full with poor oxygenated blood it contracts opening the Tricuspid valve between the right Atrium and the right Ventricle. Then the blood goes through the Tricuspid valve into the right Ventricle.

1. A healthy heart's job is to pump blood around your body and to your lungs.

1. What Is Heart Disease?

Heart disease is a general phrase that means the heart is not working the way that it should.
