Heart History Before 1900, very few people died of heart disease. Since then, heart disease has become the number one killer in the United States. The age of technology has made life easier and made people more prone to heart disease. Before the Industrial Revolution, most people made their living through some sort of manual labor. Walking was the major means of transportation. Laundry was scrubbed and wrung by hand. Stairs were climbed, carpets were beat, and butter was churned. With the arrival of automation, life became less strenuous. Most manual labor was either replaced or assisted by machinery. Automobiles, washing machines, elevators, and vacuum cleaners became commonplace. Modern conveniences made physical activity unnecessary. Along with the change in lifestyle came a change in diet. Machines were built to homogenize milk, process cheese, churn butter, and make ice cream. Previously, such high-fat treats had to be made by hand. Fried foods, like potato chips, hamburgers, and french fries, became staples in many diets. The combination of a sedentary lifestyle and a rich diet led to an increase in clogged blood vessels, heart attacks, and strokes. Heart disease became commonplace. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between the 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world's most serious epidemic.

One Among Millions What happens if you ignore the recommended healthy heart habits? Perhaps nothing. Many people live long lives without paying much attention to their heart. However, it is more likely that you will develop some form of heart disease. Millions of Americans suffer from some form of heart disease. The statistics are staggering. Commonly, people suffer from high blood pressure . Some suffer heart disease as a result of diabetes . Others develop an arrhythmia, murmur, or irregular heartbeat. Increasingly, women are becoming the greater percentage of heart disease sufferers. Listen to a heart murmur. How do you know if you have heart disease? Consult your doctor. If you don't, eventually your heart will let you know. A heart attack is the heart's way of letting you know that something is seriously wrong. Occasionally, the heart disease is so severe that doctors decide that surgery is necessary. Hopefully, you'll decide to follow the recommended healthy heart habits. If you do, you won't have to worry much about heart disease. It's a decision worth making. Heart Disease Prevention Program Cardiac Rehab and Prevention Back to Healthy Heart

Cardiology abstracts Cardiovascular Diseases Cardiac Insufficiency and Failure Compensatory Mechanisms in Congestive Heart Failure Clinical Manifestations of Heart Failure The Endocardium (Valvular Disease) ... Therapy of Congestive Heart Failure Cardiac Insufficiency and Failure When evaluating patients, it is important to distinguish heart disease from heart failure. Heart disease refers to a condition where there is an abnormality of the heart whereas heart failure exists when the heart is unable to meet the circulatory demands of the body. Most often, the development of clinical signs such as cough, edema, and tachypnea herald the presence of heart failure. Signs of heart failure may be more pronounced in active animals as they have higher circulatory demands, likewise signs of heart failure may be delayed in sedentary animals as they rarely challenge their cardiovascular system. In general, heart failure may occur secondary to 1) decreases in stroke volume or 2) abnormal heart rates. Decreases in stroke volume.

Nutrition Forum July, 1999 by Beth Fontenot To E or not to E? Some of the most interesting nutrition research in recent years has produced preliminary evidence that large doses of vitamin E may reduce the occurrence of heart attacks. As a result, vitamin E has received a great deal of media attention, prompting consumers to spend $300 million a year on vitamin E supplements. A few health and nutrition experts are ready to jump on the bandwagon and recommend supplementation, but others are asking whether the evidence really warrants such a move. Judging by sales, vitamin E is one of the most sought-after dietary supplement among Americans. The nutrient is popular, it seems, even among professionals. And no wonder. The claims for the nutrient's benefits are prevalent and appealing. "Health-food" literature and the media would have us believe that taking vitamin E will prevent arthritis, cataracts, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. In addition, it's supposed to boost the immune system, ease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, delay symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and protect the body from aging.

Heart Disease Program Project Information Group: Clinical Decision Making Group Project Leader: Bill Long wjl@mit.edu Purpose: To assist physicians in the diagnosis of patients with cardiac symptoms, focusing on hemodynamic dysfunction. Description: For predicting the effects of therapy we have developed a mechanism that uses equations for the hemodynamic relationships and a signal flow technique to calculate the likely quantitative steady-state change for all parameters given changes in therapies (or other parameter changes). This mechanism effectively captures the hemodynamic effects of the therapies on which it has been tested for a variety of pathophysiologic conditions. Questions, comments about this site?

CNN Europe CNN Asia Languages Spanish Portuguese German Italian Korean Arabic Japanese On CNN TV Transcripts Headline News CNN International ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Study: Job stress doubles risk of heart disease death By Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN Story Tools (CNN) Think you have a "killer job"? Well, you are not alone. Researchers followed 800 workers in Finland for nearly 30 years and found that those with stressful jobs had twice the risk of dying from coronary artery disease compared to satisfied employees. While stress is a very general term, researchers defined it as enduring extremely high demand while having little control. It could also be defined as high productivity with little or no reward. If this sounds familiar, then it might be time for a change. Besides lowering your risk of heart disease, you could be less susceptible to respiratory infections and strengthen your immune system by lowering your stress level. Take control, stay healthy and always keep informed. Thanks for reading "The Pulse," my weekly column on the week's top health and medical news. Here are more stories making headlines this week.

CHOLESTEROL, GENETICS, AND HEART DISEASE INSTITUTE A Non-Profit Organization Research Education - Training - Sophisticated Lab Tests - Heart Disease Regression What's New The Smallest of the 7 LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) particles now linked to heart disease progression. Recently published in the medical journal Circulation Williams PT, Superko HR, Haskell WL et al. Smallest LDL particles are most strongly related to coronary disease progression in Men. Circulation Analysis of the Stanford Coronary Risk Intervention Trial revealed that of the 7 LDL subtypes (LDL I, IIa, IIb are large and IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb small), the smallest of the LDLs (termed LDL IVb) is the single best lipoprotein predictor of increase in coronary artery blockage in the 4 year NIH study. The average annual rate in blockage change was 6-times more rapid in those with elevated IVb (highest quartile) compared to those with low LDL IVb (lowest quartile). Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and the ratio of total cholesterosl to HDL cholesterol did not predict annual increases in percent stenosis once the effects of LDL-IVb were removed.

While often thought of as the same thing, heart and cardiovascular disease are different, involving different parts of your body. Heart disease refers only to diseases of the heart and the blood vessel system within the heart. Cardiovascular disease refers to diseases of the heart and diseases of the blood vessel system (arteries, capillaries, veins) within a person's entire body, such as the brain, legs, and lungs. "Cardio" refers to the heart and "vascular" refers to the blood vessel system. The heart is a strong, muscular pump slightly larger than your fist. It pumps blood continuously through the circulatory system , the network of elastic tubes that allows blood to flow throughout your body. The circulatory system includes two major organs, the heart and lungs, and blood vessels (arteries, capillaries, and veins). Arteries and capillaries carry oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood from the heart and lungs to all parts of the body. Veins carry oxygen- and nutrient-depleted blood back to the heart and lungs. Heart and blood vessel problems do not happen quickly. Over time, the arteries that bring blood to the heart and brain can become blocked from a buildup of cells, fat, and
