Abstract
In context of this project, it is based on the aim of analysing the impact of coronary heart disease
among of people. It includes the basic knowledge about coronary heart disease which includes
the condition when arteries become narrow which is responsible for limiting blood flow to the
heart, this situation can be considered as severe one which has potential to occur the problem of
heart attack, angina or stroke. It is necessary for people to improve lifestyle by making
appropriate changes, intake balanced diet, avowing junk food, adopt regular exercise & walking
etc. which facilitate to avoid the condition of occurring coronary heart disease between senior
citizens. However, this investigation will focus on several objectives like evaluation of potential
causes behind coronary heart disease and relevant risk of developing other health problems due
to presence of CHD. It includes various causes like high blood pressure, improper lifestyle, habit
of alcohol intake or smoking, drug addiction and many more. It is very important for senior
citizens to take precautions on regular routine in order to improve the health condition of them.
Moreover, it includes the discussion about role of care professionals for making old people
aware of different precautions and various aspects in respect of reducing risk of occurring
coronary heart disease. It consist their responsibility to organise more effective as well as
efficient health promotion campaigns for increasing knowledge level of senior citizens for
enhancing their lifestyle. It will provide support to avoid condition of coronary heart disease
along with remaining healthy.
Introduction
Heart disease refers to a condition including infected vessels, structural issues and blood clots. It
includes the several kinds of heart problems which are commonly observed among old people
such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure (Hypertension), cardiac arrest, congenital
heart disease, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease and many more (Raygan and et. al., 2018). In
context of this project, it is based on the aim of analysing effects of coronary heart disease
among older people regarding their health condition. This investigation will focus on causes and
relevant risk of coronary heart problems occurs among old people. It will also include impact of
coronary heart disease and role of care professionals to promote healthy habits to avoid the same.
The strategies and practices used for treatment of coronary heart disease are explained here.

Main Text
The basic understanding about coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) can be described as a condition when coronary arteries become
too narrow due to which supply of oxygen and blood to heart was interrupted. According to the
views of Raygan and et. al. (2019), it tends to usually developed due to increased levels of
cholesterols which creates plaques in artery walls that is responsible for narrowing the arteries.
This condition leads to reduce blood flow which is accountable to cause severe health issues
