Women: Protect Your Oral Health Osteoporosis Heart Disease and Stroke Pregnancy Problems Diabetes ... Respiratory Diseases Several theories exist to explain the link between periodontal disease and heart disease. One theory is that oral bacteria can affect the heart when they enter the blood stream, attaching to fatty plaques in the coronary arteries (heart blood vessels) and contributing to clot formation. Coronary artery disease is characterized by a thickening of the walls of the coronary arteries due to the buildup of fatty proteins. Blood clots can obstruct normal blood flow, restricting the amount of nutrients and oxygen required for the heart to function properly. This may lead to heart attacks. Another possibility is that the inflammation caused by periodontal disease increases plaque build up, which may contribute to swelling of the arteries.

These are some of the best foods we can eat - there is no doubt about it." (the Journal of the National Cancer Institute)

Extractions: CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN AMWA's continuing medical education project on Coronary Heart Disease in Women is now in its seventh year. The year 2001 will be an exciting one: thanks to support from Bayer Corporation DuPont Pharmaceuticals and the National Association of Margarine Manufactures , the third update of the CHD curriculum is underway. The Coronary Heart Disesase program will continue to hold Master Faculty training throughout the year. In 1999, this unique program that trains practicing physicians in the identification of risk factors, prevention, symptomatology and treatment, and diagnostic evaluation of heart disease in women was present at several prestigious medical gatherings. The specially trained Master Faculty of 35 volunteer AMWA physicians, led by project leaders Dr. Debra R. Judelson, Dr. Leslie Poor, Dr. Nanette Wenger, Dr. D. Douglas Miller, Dr. Cheryl E. Weinstein, and Gerrie Gardner, DO, have conducted over 200 CME workshops for physicians across the country and more than 30 lay workshops, educating over 7,000 physicians and numerous lay personnel on this important topic. During 1995, several exciting developments in this program took place. A national

Extractions: and Those Who want to Order "Has Heart Disease Been Cured?" Due to extraordinary new scientific discoveries and developments in diagnosis and treatment, this book is being superseded by a new title that will be of vital interest not only to heart disease patients but also to those concerned about arthritis, certain cancers, kidney stones, and other illnesses that are often incurable. Toxic calcium deposits have been discovered in each of these diseases, and after decades of research, scientists seem to have finally uncovered the trigger. It's an infection. It's diagnosable. And it's treatable with affordable, non-invasive methods. The book that chronicles these discoveries will be available this Fall. If you'd like to be notified when the new book is available , then please send us a message using this form.

Extractions: by date Latest articles on Women's Health What happens during a young woman's first visit to the gynecologist? "We make sure it isn't threatening," says Dr. Michael Lund. "We provide education and take a history. Often, we won't even do an exam until there's a good reason to do one." During menopause, the body produces less estrogen and progesterone. Dr. Julie Mitchell notes that while some women have no symptoms, others might endure them for five years or more. Taking a combination of estrogen and progestin brings certain health risks, but women who have had a hysterectomy can take estrogen alone, which could have fewer negative consequences. The key to finding breast cancer is early detection, and the key to early detection is a regular screening mammogram, along with a clinical breast exam by a doctor or nurse. High-quality scientific research on nutrition is difficult to carry out. Still, notes Dr. Julie Mitchell, there are a few key principles that repeated research has borne out.

PCRM--Health--Cholesterol And Heart Disease Eating habits and other parts of our lifestyle play a large role in therisk of heart disease. And Now the Good News Reversing heart disease. http://www.pcrm.org/health/Preventive_Medicine/cholesterol_and_heart_disease.htm
Extractions: Every day, more than 4,000 Americans suffer a heart attack. Those who survive often go on to have another one later on. But this need not happen. Eating habits and other parts of our lifestyle play a large role in the risk of heart disease. The good news is that heart disease can usually be prevented and even reversed. Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is not caused by old age. When battlefield casualties were examined during the Korean and Vietnam wars, American soldiers had significant atherosclerosis at only 18 or 20 years of age. Their Asian counterparts, raised on a diet consisting mainly of rice and vegetables, had much healthier arteries. The main reason that older people are more likely to have heart problems than younger people is that they have had more time to indulge in unhealthy habits. Similarly, most people do not have a hereditary tendency towards heart disease. In most cases the problem is not usually due to genetics, but to eating and smoking habits. Your doctor can tell you if you are 1 of only about 5 percent of the population with a true genetic tendency towards heart disease. Many studies have shown the connection between cholesterol and heart problems. Beginning in 1949, under the direction of William Castelli, M.D., the population of Framingham, Massachusetts, has been monitored to see what influences the rate of heart disease.

MENOPAUSE ONLINE - HEART DISEASE heart disease in Women. CONTENTS. There is a welldefined gender gap when it comesto an analysis of risks, diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease. http://www.menopause-online.com/heart.html
Extractions: This is one of the most fascinating questions clinical epidemiologists are asking themselves. There is a well-defined gender gap when it comes to an analysis of risks, diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease. This article will attempt to reconstruct the factors responsible for this gender gap, and provide some hints on preventing heart disease for both sexes. Unhealthy behaviour patterns Men have been exposed to a higher risk of unhealthy patterns in their lifestyles. Smoking, alcohol consumption, eating a lot of red meat and less of fruits and vegetables are more commonly seen in males. These factors however are only contributory, and not causative, of coronary disease. Work outside home While it has been suggested that work stresses are in a large part responsible for coronary heart disease, recent studies focussed on working women draw different conclusions. For instance, the heart disease risk has been shown to be higher only in subordinate, clerical posts. Successful working women are NOT at a higher risk.
