Question

Which of the following are considered to be cardiac risk factors for CP patients? (select all that apply.)

a) HTN

b) HLD

c) Family hx of CAD <55 y/o

d) All of the above

Answer 1

The cardiac risk factors for CP patients include hypertension, high blood cholesterol, and family history of coronary artery disease under 55 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardiac risk factors for CP patients include:

• HTN (hypertension): This is a condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure in the arteries.
• HLD (high blood cholesterol): High levels of cholesterol in the blood can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease.
• Family hx of CAD <55 y/o (family history of coronary artery disease under 55 years old): Having a family history of early-onset CAD increases the risk of developing heart disease.

All of these factors contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease in CP patients.
