Question 11

Non - controllable risk factors for heart attack are those that a person cannot change. Obesity can be controlled through diet and exercise, smoking can be quit, and alcohol consumption can be controlled. Age is a factor that naturally increases as time passes and cannot be controlled.

The term "stenosis" in medical terminology means narrowing. "Aortic" refers to the aorta. So "Aortic Stenosis" means the narrowing of the aorta. "Pain in the heart" is angina or other cardiac pain conditions, "hardening of the arteries" is arteriosclerosis, and "ballooning of the aorta" is an aneurysm - like condition (aortic aneurysm).
