Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How can cardiovascular problems be treated?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of treating cardiovascular diseases by drugs, mechanical devices or transplant.
  2. In coronary heart disease layers of fatty material build up inside the coronary arteries, narrowing them.
  3. The layers of fatty material reduces the flow of blood through the coronary arteries, resulting in a lack of oxygen for the heart muscle.
  4. Stents are used to keep the coronary arteries open.
  5. Statins are widely used to reduce blood cholesterol levels which slows down the rate of fatty material deposit.
  6. In some people heart valves may become faulty, preventing the valve from opening fully, or the heart valve might develop a leak.
  7. Students should understand the consequences of faulty valves.
  8. Faulty heart valves can be replaced using biological or mechanical valves.
  9. In the case of heart failure a donor heart, or heart and lungs can be transplanted.
  10. Artificial hearts are occasionally used to keep patients alive whilst waiting for a heart transplant, or to allow the heart to rest as an aid to recovery.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Statin: A drug taken to reduce blood cholesterol. (1)
  • Stent: A device used to open up arteries to allow more blood to flow through it. (1)
  • Coronary Heart Disease: Where the coronary arteries become blocked, starving the heart muscle cells of oxygen. (1)
  • Cardiovascular disease: A range of conditions caused by a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of treating cardiovascular diseases using drugs, mechanical devices or transplant?
    The advantages of each treatment for cardiovascular diseases are: Drugs - less negative impact on the body Mechanical devices - strong and durable can last a lifetime Transplants - can last a life time The disadvantages of each treatment for cardiovascular diseases are: Drugs - Required to take everyday, may not continue to work long term Mechanical devices - not long term solution. Causes clotting of red blood cells so drugs required too. Transplants - anti rejection drugs can be needed for the rest of their life
  2. How does coronary heart disease effect the body?
    In coronary heart disease layers of fatty material build up inside the coronary arteries, narrowing them.
  3. What are the causes, and impact on the heart, of angina?
    The layers of fatty material reduces the flow of blood through the coronary arteries, resulting in a lack of oxygen for the heart muscle.
  4. What are stents used for?
    Stents are used to keep the coronary arteries open.
  5. What effect do statins have on the body?
    Statins are widely used to reduce blood cholesterol levels which slows down the rate of fatty material deposit.
  6. What effect can a faulty heart value have on the body?
    Heart valves may become faulty, preventing the valve from opening fully, or the heart valve might develop a leak.
  7. What are the consequences of having a faulty heart valve?
    The effects of having a faulty heart value can include heart failure, stroke, blood clots or death due to sudden cardiac arrest.
  8. How can heart faulty heart valves be replaced?
    Faulty heart valves can be replaced using biological or mechanical valves.
  9. What is a long term treatment for heart or lung failure?
    In the case of heart failure a donor heart, or heart and lungs can be transplanted.
  10. When is it appropriate to use an artificial heart?
    Artificial hearts are occasionally used to keep patients alive whilst waiting for a heart transplant, or to allow the heart to rest as an aid to recovery.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
