• The case study should be well organized using specific headings, proper grammar, syntax, and terminology.
• You can use the seven questions as a guide to formulate the headings within the paper. For each questions answered there should be a different heading. For example: Pathophysiology of CAD; How HTN, dyslipidemia and tobacco use leads to the development of CAD. There are seven questions so you should have seven headings within the paper.
• The case study must be typed in a Word document.
• It is expected that you review current evidence-based treatment guidelines and relevant research specific to the disease process to answer each of the seven questions related to this case study. These sources should be updated with in the last 5 years.
