
Not caused by pathogens
Cannot be transmitted to other people
Risk factors:



Determined by genes
Congenital disease is present at birth
◦ Others don’t show up until later in life

Familial Disease Tendency
◦ Disease runs in family

Recessive gene disorders
◦ Need recessive gene from
both parents
◦ Can be a carrier
◦ Cystic fibrosis & sickle cell
anemia

Down syndrome
◦ Born with extra chromosome





Hardening of the
arteries
Narrows blood
vessels & blocks
blood flow
Atherosclerosis
◦ Fat deposits in blood
vessels


Caused by lack of oxygen delivery to cells
Coronary heart disease
◦ Blockage of coronary arteries
◦ Caused by fat deposits and/or blood clots
◦ Causes heart attack

Cardiac Arrest
◦ Entire heart stops





Disrupts blood flow to brain
No oxygen to brain
Brain cells die
Caused by fatty deposits, blood clots, or
burst arteries
Aneurysm
◦ Weak spot in blood vessel that can burst
