Core Knowledge Objectives with Advanced Organizers
Vascular Disease
1. Assess the etiology, clinical manifestations, and the pathophysiology of the diseases which
affect the blood vessels and describe the impact this knowledge has on the care you provide as
a nurse practitioner.

Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome
2. Examine the risk factors, etiology, clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and
consequences of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.
a. Explain how modifiable risk factors contribute to the development of coronary artery disease:
Risk Factor Effects
Dyslipidemia Abnormal concentrations of serum lipoproteins from genetics and dietary
factors. Increased serum of LDL is coronary risk. LDL oxidation, migration
into the vessel wall, and phagocytosis by macrophages cause
atherosclerosis. LDL also plays role in endothelial injury, inflammation, and
immune response. Low HDL also a risk. HDL can remove excess cholesterol
from arterial wall by mediating the efflux of cholesterol from lipid-laden
macrophages through activation of ATP-binding cassette transporter
proteins. HDL also assists in endothelial repair and decreases thrombosis.
Triglycerides also a risk
Hypertension Contributes to endothelial injury, and causes myocardial hypertrophy, which
increases myocardial demand for coronary flow. Overactivity of SNS and
RAAS causes start of CAD.
Cigarette Increases atherosclerosis. Nicotine stimulates the release of catecholamines
Smoking (epi and norepinephrine) which increases HR and causes peripheral
vascular constriction. B/P increases, as well as cardiac workload and oxygen
demand. Increases LDL and decreases HDL, contributes to vessel
inflammation and thrombosis.
Diabetes Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia affect
Mellitus cardiovascular system. Includes endothelial damage, thickening of the
vessel wall, increased inflammation and leukocyte adhesion, increased
thrombosis, glycation of vascular proteins, and decreased production of
endothelial derived vasodilators like nitric oxide. Causes dyslipidemia
because it alters hepatic lipoprotein synthesis and increases triglycerides
and in LDL oxidation.
Obesity and Metabolic syndrome (obesity, dyslipidemia, and HTN). Abdominal obesity
Sedentary has strongest risk for CAD and is related to insulin resistance, decreased
Lifestyle HDL, increased B/P, small artery changes, and inflammation. Also
associated with changes in adipokines that affect cardiovascular risk and
increased activity of SNS and RAAS. Sedentary lifestyle increases risk for
obesity and CAD risk.
