CASE STUDY1
Introduction
Michael is a 63-year-old man who is suffering from a number of health problems. Since last
night he has been having trouble breathing, chest pain and was not feeling comfortable for which
he has been admitted to the hospital. An ED healthcare professional comes to assess the issue
and help in treating him. After the assessment it was determined that he is having Cardiovascular
disease (CVD). Thus, the healthcare team focus was now on to help in treating the
cardiovascular disease and then help Michael in managing and guiding his body weight.
Medical history
Disease Treatment
Diabetes Healthy eating, regular exercising and few
medications such as Metformin, Sulfonylureas.
Ischemic stroke Healthy eating, clot-dissolving medicine like
the tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)
Osteoarthritis Acetaminophen, Duloxetine and physical
therapy
Asthma Inhaled corticosteroids and Albuterol
Nursing Physical Assessment
Normal tests were conducted on Michael, such as checking the body temperature, weight,
SpO2, respiratory rate and other type of blood tests to evaluate the type of Cardiovascular
disease (CVD). The body temperature observed was around 99.7OF, body weight measured
demonstrated a BMI of 28.9, SpO2 was 87% and he had a respiratory rate of 24 breaths/minute.
The healthcare professionals after the full assessment of Michael came into realization that he

was having Coronary artery disease (CAD). The major behind this condition was his body
weight for which he was never treated for and that led to occurrence of different harmful
diseases.
Pathophysiology
When there is a formation of spread of plaque inside the walls of the coronary arteries,
which is responsible for the supply of blood to the heart, it leads to Coronary artery disease
(CAD). Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits. As the time passes, the formation of the
plaque inside the walls of the coronary arteries makes the artery a narrow passage for the blood.
This process is called atherosclerosis (Ambrose & Singh, 2015).
Related Treatments
The healthcare team decided to help Michael in improving and changing his lifestyle by
guiding him to eat healthy foods especially fruits, involve in daily physical activities that will
eventually help in reducing the excess body weight and help in reduce stress (Mostafavi, Solhi,
Mohammadi & Akhondzadeh, 2017).
Though there are certain other medicines such as Cholesterol-modifying medications
which help in decreasing the level of cholesterol in the blood specifically low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (Karimi et al., 2016). Aspirin is also being provided on a daily basis which is helping
in preventing the blood to clot that will reduce obstruction in the coronary arteries. To reduce the
chest pain in Michael Ranolazine can be suggested (Karimi et al., 2016).
