In 1985 when I wrote the Lumen book, there was already a large body of data connecting both heart disease and a wide range of cancers to high rates of meat consumption. The sixth chapter of that book alone cited over 190 references, most of which were related to epidemiological correlations between reduced meat consumption and lower rates of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and other degenerative diseases that are rampant in the West. In the 10 years since, there have been numerous studies that go beyond merely substantiating the benefits of a "meatless diet." Soy protein products, such as Heartline Meatless Meats and Heaven on Earth Fat Free Milk Replacer are finally being noticed for the value of their soybean protein protein which imparts cholesterol and triglyeride lowering properties in its own right.

When Terri’s obstetrician, Dr. Libby, came in, they assumed it was to congratulate them, until they saw his face. Dr. Thomas’s diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot, a type of congenital heart disease or heart defect that occurs as a fetus is developing. "Tetralogy of Fallot," Dr. Thomas explained, "means that the artery from Sasha’s heart to her lungs is narrowed. The wall separating the lower left and right chambers of her heart has a hole in it. These abnormalities prevent oxygen-rich blood from circulating to the rest of her body and cause her blue coloring. We call it cyanosis or Œblue-baby’ disease." Tetralogy of Fallot, he told them, could cost Sasha her life.

Paul was one of the smart ones. A 51-year-old Baby Boomer from the western suburbs of Chicago, Paul was a successful radiologist with a wife and two children. He had settled into the comfortable routines of family life. Paul and his wife had skied when they were first married, and he had run a little in his 30s, but as the kids got older and his stressful hours at the hospital got longer, Paul barely had enough time to sleep, never mind exercise. Still, when his favorite jeans and shirts became a little snug and climbing stairs between floors at the hospital was harder than it used to be, Paul realized he needed to take action. "Time to stop eating out so much," he thought,"and time to haul out my running shoes again." Paul knew it was wise to have a physical before beginning an exercise program, so he scheduled an appointment with Dr. Burns, his internist. Paul had a family history of coronary artery disease, so Dr. Burns ran him through a battery of tests, including an exercise test. To his surprise, the test suggested a blockage in the coronary arteries supplying Paul’s heart muscle with blood. Dr. Burns promptly consulted with a cardiologist who recommended a cardiac catheterization with a coronary arteriogram to visualize Paul’s heart arteries. This test showed a 95 percent narrowing in the major artery to the front of Paul’s heart.

National Heart Foundation AHAF's National Heart Foundation (NHF) program was established in 1976 to fund research on and educate the public about heart disease and stroke. Coronary Heart Disease: The narrowing of the coronary arteries due to the accumulation of plaque causes coronary heart disease (CHD). The narrowing and blockage of the arteries by plaque is called atherosclerosis. Coronary heart disease is the single greatest cause of death for both men and women in the United States, eclipsing all other causes, including cancer and lung diseases. Heart Failure: When the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood through the body, heart failure occurs. The seriousness of the condition depends on how much of the pumping capacity has been lost. Mild heart failure may have little effect on one's life, while severe heart failure interferes with even simple activities and can often prove fatal. It is a major chronic condition in the United States. Stroke: When brain cells are deprived of their blood supply, a stroke or "brain attack" occurs. Without access to vital nutrients and oxygen, brain cells die. 80% of strokes occur from a blocked blood vessel in the neck or brain, while the remainder result from a weakened blood vessel in the brain that bursts and bleeds into the surrounding tissue. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the primary cause of disabilities in adults. People over age 65 experience almost three fourths of all strokes.

Patients may not die suddenly while under such stress, but are more likely to succumb to their heart disease later, said Dr. David Sheps, a researcher at East Tennessee State University. Sheps and colleagues focused their research on volunteers with ischemia a condition where blood flow to the heart is reduced. People with bad hearts often suffer chest pain during physical exertion when clogged coronary arteries are unable to supply enough blood to their heart muscle. But doctors have learned over the past 10 years that mental exertion can also overwork the heart, often without pain a condition called silent ischemia.

Doctors usually do not know the cause of congenital heart defects, but they do know of some conditions that increase a child's risk of being born with a heart defect. They include Congenital heart disease in the baby's mother or father. Congenital heart disease in the baby's brother or sister. Diabetes in the mother. German measles, toxoplasmosis (an infection that is passed through contact with cat feces), or HIV infection in the mother. The mother's use of alcohol during pregnancy. The mother's use of cocaine or other drugs during pregnancy.

"That's because of the kind of lifestyle we have in the United States," said Dr. Henry Ginsberg of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. "Even our children are eating high-fat diets. Now there's a tremendous increase in overweight children. And those together with inactivity lead to the development of fat in our blood vessels."

Heart disease is a name given to a variety of conditions that affect the performance of the heart. Important examples of heart disease include: angina, in which there is poor blood circulation to the heart, heart attack, in which there is death of part of the heart muscle, and arrhythmia, in which the rate or rhythm of the heart beat is abnormal. In the UK, heart disease kills more people, both men and women, than any other disease. One British adult dies of heart disease every three minutes. Your heart is the engine that drives your body. It is a powerful muscle that pumps blood to your entire body, providing the oxygen and nutrients that you need to live. The average human heart works at a rate of 100,000 beats a day or an incredible 2,500 million beats over a lifetime of 70 years.

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE The causes are difficult to determine and probably different in each case. There is further evidence of a genetic contribution in that parents who have had one child with a congenital heart abnormality have an increased risk of their next children having some sort of congenital heart abnormality as well. The risk is increased from the 1 in a thousand range to 1 in twenty. (Remember, that means a 19 in 20 chance of having a child without the abnormality). The risk may be higher in occasional families with certain forms of congenital disease which are passed down frequently to children. Infections in the mother, particularly early in pregnancy, such as rubella ("German measles") are associated with congenital heart abnormalities in those children. The therapy of these disorders is sometimes quite complex, and should be discussed with your physician. The following is a brief atlas of some of the more common congenital heart conditions. The normal flow in the heart can be reviewed from the HeartPoint Gallery page regarding "The Heart"
