effects of Heart Disease on the body of a person in advanced age. effects of Heart Disease on the body of a person in advanced age. Intro: One in every 4 Americans will die of heart disease. The incident of heart disease has not changed significantly in over 20 years according to the American Heart Association.

Instructions:
In a minimum 6-7 pages (includes cover and reference page), double spaced document, discuss the effects of Heart Disease on the body of a person in advanced age. You are always welcome to go over 6 pages, (do what you need to do to get your points across). Be sure to answer the following questions in your paper.
1) Which physiological (body) systems are affected by heart disease and how are they affected. What does the disease do to the body that is negative. (not genetic heart deformities of the heart please)
2) What are the differences to consider if the patient has had the heart disease diagnosis for 25 years or was recently diagnosed? What does the body look like inside and what is the person thinking if they have had it 25 years? What about newly diagnosed?
3) What is the difference between an older person with well-controlled heart disease and an older person with uncontrolled heart disease? What are they thinking and how are they acting? What is happening inside their body?
4) What special nutrition related considerations might there be for the elderly patient with heart disease as opposed to a 35 year old patient with heart disease? What are they thinking and how are they acting? What is an older person’s lifestyle different than a younger person’s?
5) Please include a cover sheet and reference page so minimum length is 6 pages but 8 would be fine.

Appropriate sources for current research on this topic are peer-reviewed research articles (try searching in PubMed via the library – The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is an example of a peer-reviewed journal, or your book, or the references in your book at the end of this chapter, or American Heart Association, or American Medical Association). Cite all your sources in the text paragraphs ex: (Robinson, 2014) please and the full reference at the end on the reference page. If you don’t know already, peer reviewed means that other health professionals have reviewed it and think the document is legit. Non-peer reviewed is someone just writing their opinion in an article or blog and it is just that…their opinion. Do not use opinions unless it is yours. If citing from web pages they must be legit sources. Please have a cover page and a reference page so the total number of pages you are submitting is 6 or more. Again, can you go over 6 pages?…. of course, make it good. I would love the idea that you enjoyed writing this and learned a lot and did not think it was a chore and just counting pages and words. Remember, your parents, grandparents, relatives, neighbors, patients, current and future spouses and maybe even yourself might be one of the 1 in 4 afflicted. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

I will be looking for the following criteria in your paper.

1. Were all of the questions above answered satisfactorily? (120 points)
2. Were appropriate sources (peer-reviewed articles) utilized for research? (40 points) Minimum of 3 and your book is NOT one of the 3. Use the UH library people to help.
3. Were all sources cited and included in APA formatted bibliography? (20 points) (APA format is on Blackboard if you need to look at it)
4. Entertainment value (was it interesting)? (20 points)
