Hi ,
This is a persuasive/ research essay. I need a rough draft 6-8 paragraphs using APA format. Please use the provided sources and in text citation is mandatory. Below, I have included instruction to writing. I have written an introductory to help. My argument is to persuade audience (Doctors) to use Orbital Atherectomy prior to stent placement vs balloon angioplasty.
My Introduction is :
“In the past six years, I have been able to serve patients with coronary artery disease as a cardiac cath lab technologist and a training manager for a medical device company. Today, medical engineering is advancing their game and have designed new technology to help optimize a better patient outcome, with a better long term result. Despite advances in interventional techniques, treatment of calcified coronary lesions remains a challenge. Stent placement in calcified lesions may result in stent underexpansion, malapposition, and procedural complications. Among all the new technology the Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) is a safe and effective tool to be used in vessel prepration prior to stent placement. Other methods such as: Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA) prior to stent placement in calcified arteries tends to create more issues during and after the procedure. This is a growing problem as our patients populations age. According to American Heart Association Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the leading cause (43.8 percent) of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease in the US. It is a known fact in the Interventional Cardiology (IC) world that calcium has always been underestimated and untreated. The lack of proper treatment of calcified arteries leads to increased risk in adverse cardiovascular events.“

Instructions to Writing:
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each and every one of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of what we should feel about events. We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue utilizing researched facts and information. This also gives the chance to recognize that there is an opposing viewpoint to a position and to refute the opposing argument, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.

At this point in the course, if you have completed the previous milestone guided activities, the text boxes should be combined and transformed into a draft.
