Give your AAQ BTEC National Health & Social Care students a clear, immersive look at Coronary Heart Disease with this interactive case investigation.

Following the journey of patient Priya Sharma, this simulation directly maps to Unit 2 (C1.1) content, guiding students through the causes, primary effects, and secondary effects of CHD.

System Failure: Investigating Coronary Heart Disease

About this simulation

Throughout this case investigation, students build their knowledge of the causes, primary and secondary effects, and the body systems affected in coronary heart disease and associated long-term outcomes/ conditions.

Through interactive activities, including classifying risk factors, and completing the sequence of CHD and heart attack, students move beyond theory to actively trace how cardiac failure creates systemic problems across the respiratory and digestive systems. Ideal for reinforcing AO3 Application and achieving AO4 Making Connections, this simulation ensures students fully grasp the interconnected nature of the human body for exam success.
