Introduction
The circulatory or the cardiovascular system takes the responsibility of supplying the human body with blood. Mainly, it comprises of capillaries, veins, arteries, and the heart. Despite that cardiovascular disorders have been realized to be some of the main causes of deaths globally. According to modern medical research, there are various means that can be used for the means of reducing the chances of developing such conditions (Ashley & Niebauer, 2004). That takes into consideration some of the therapeutic options that can be recommended by the doctors depending on the CVD of a person. The reason for that is because the symptoms and the prevention mechanisms of each patient always overlap. In this case, coronary artery disease will be analyzed taking into consideration the means to use in managing it.
Explain how the factor you selected might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the patient from the case study you were assigned.
As much as coronary artery disease is concerned, it is important for a person to seek the prevailing medical attentions that has the potential of improving the perceived pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. Although it is vital for a person with severe coronary artery disease to be subjected to surgical procedures, cardiac rehabilitation is also vital for the purpose of improving therapy as well as speeding recovery (Willis et al., 2014). Ideally, the cardiac rehabilitation recommended in this case will have to take account things like monitoring personal daily exercises, emotional support, nutritional counseling, and so on so as to minimize risks of heart problems. As a result of that, it is important for the patient to seek regular medical check-up so as to be in the position of determining the progress of this disorder (Marmot & Elliott, 2005).
Describe how changes in the processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. Be specific and provide examples.
As much as the use of drugs can be recommended as one of the options for elevating that condition, it is important for a person to follow some of the recommended therapeutic rules. This will have to take into account things like maintaining regular exercises, improving diet, as well as other healthcare habits that have the potential of alleviating coronary artery disease symptoms. As a result of that, it will be possible for the patient to have the potential of slowing down the progress of the disease as well as improving his or her everyday life. The reason for that is because the modern therapeutic research indicates that the majority of people suffering from mild to moderate coronary artery disease have the ability of living normal live (Crea et al., 2014).
In accordance with that, it is evident that the treatment of heart disease always varies depending on the immunity of a person. For example, some patients can be given antibiotics to heal their heart infections. Despite that, it is evident that the treatment of heart infections will have to take into account various procedures. The first one is lifestyle changes which will have to take into account the importance of moderating one’s normal exercises, consuming low-sodium, and low-fat diet, limiting alcohol intake, and quitting smoking. Another process that can impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy is the type of medication being subjected to (Esselstyn, 2007). The reason for that is because the type of medication that the patient will end up receiving will ultimately depend on the prescribed treatment. Basically, in case lifestyle changes that have been recommended for the patient might not be sufficient, it will be paramount for the doctor to consider the type of heart disease the patient is suffering from or the extent of damage it could have induced. On the other hand, in case the medications provided to the patient might not be enough, the best rationale entails recommending certain medical procedures or surgery. The same process will have to take into account personal lifestyle changes and the level of his or her coronary artery disease (Marmot & Elliott, 2005).
Explain how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan and explain why you would make these recommended improvements.
According to modern medical research, coronary artery disease is something that has been realized to evolve as a result of damaging the heart for long period of time. Although it can be treated, it is important to take into consideration the immunity of the patient before coming up with other strategies to improve the perceived symptoms. As a result of that, what this implies is the fact that its successful treatment will rely on personal willingness to be involved in the prevailing drug therapy plans. Ideally, it is vital for the family and other associated caregivers to play an active role in improving the perceived healthcare plans (Crea et al., 2014).
Nonetheless, regardless of the prevailing clinical trials, it is vital for the patient to ensure that he or she has followed all the recommended improvements. For instance, this will have to take into account things like changing diet, routinely exercises, and so on. The reason for that is because it has the ability of improving the quality of life of the patient suffering from such a condition. Ideally, it is also imperative for a person to continue seeking the modern medical trials to determine the best therapeutic attention to receive. The same procedure applies to the need of determining the side effects of the treatment being given (Esselstyn, 2007).
