126. Preventing Heart Disease - Smoking Short section on smoking and the hart. http://www.fauxpress.com/kimball/med/heart/h3/smoking.htm

Preventing Heart Disease Smoking Smoking cigarettes is a significant risk factor for many serious conditions, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, and diabetes. Smoking also contributes to high blood pressure and low HDL ("good") cholesterol, which are themselves risk factors for heart disease. On average, the health risks from smoking shave seven to eight years off a person's life. Dangers of Smoking Chances are you know that smoking cigarettes is bad for your health. Here are some reminders about the dangers of smoking: Smoking causes more than a half million premature deaths worldwide each year. A smoker has a two to four times greater risk of sudden cardiac death than a nonsmoker. If a person has any other risk factors for heart disease, smoking dramatically increases his or her overall risk of a heart attack. Smoking worsens the health of the smoker and the people around the smoker. Infants and children exposed to secondhand smoke develop more respiratory problems: bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, coughing, wheezing, and worsened asthma. Secondhand smoke can also cause heart disease and lung diseases in nonsmokers. Children of smokers are much more likely to smoke than children of nonsmokers.

What Does the Heart Do? The heart, blood and blood vessels make up the system that supplies the body's tissues and organs with oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen-depleted blood comes from all parts of the body to the chambers on the right side of the heart. The blood is then pumped through the lungs, where oxygen is added to it. Oxygen-rich blood returns from the lungs to the left side of the heart and is pumped out, delivering oxygen to all the body's tissues. Return to menu. What Does the Heart Do? Return to menu.

The study was published in the December 2003 issue of the medical journal Atherosclerosis. The airborne bacteria, called Chlamydia pneumoniae, is responsible for 5 percent to 30 percent of respiratory-tract infections worldwide, according to studies cited in the research. In addition, a growing body of evidence shows that the bacteria may spread from the lungs into the bloodstream, possibly leading to plaque buildup in the arteries and thereby contributing to heart disease. Study author Gail Mahady, of the university's College of Pharmacy, and her team sought to expand upon prior research that indicates that red wine or resveratrol one of the many polyphenols in red wine may reduce the risk of heart disease and other diseases. They wanted to look at how wine compounds may act in the body to produce these beneficial effects.

The two types of heart disease in children are "congenital" and "acquired." Congenital heart disease (also known as a congenital heart defect) is present at birth. Some defects in this category are patent ductus arteriosis, atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. Acquired heart disease, which develops sometime during childhood, includes diseases such as Kawasaki disease, rheumatic fever and infective endocarditis. Common diagnostic tests for these diseases are explained here. About 40,000 children are born with a heart defect each year. Most of these children can benefit from surgery even if the defect is severe. When surgery is necessary, many medical treatments are available to help the heart work properly. There is nothing that parents could have done to prevent these defects. Learn about conditions that can interfere with the work of the heart and treatment options in this section. Kawasaki disease is an example of acquired heart disease that occurs primarily in children who are 5 years old or younger. Although medical knowledge of the disease is still developing, there are steps you can take to recognize the symptoms and deal with the disease's effects. At least 8 of every 1,000 infants born each year have a heart defect. About 1 million Americans with cardiovascular defects are alive today. Though research is ongoing, at least 35 defects have now been identified.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Cheap food, cigarettes and city life are causing millions of early deaths in the developing world, according to a report to be released Monday. Heart disease, once an illness of the rich, is killing more and more people in poor countries, according to the report. "The risk of cardiovascular disease is growing as populations increase in cities," reads the report, issued by Columbia University's Earth Institute in New York. "There, food is steadily becoming cheaper and exercise is scarce. The prevalence of obesity and of diabetes and of its precursor conditions, are rising faster in urban than in rural areas," the report adds. "The tobacco scourge, now at epidemic levels in less-developed countries, exacts its toll in many ways, but cardiovascular deaths are its principal mode of mortality."

137. Closing The Health GAP 2004 heart disease. Healthy Heart Handbook for Women Every woman should be concernedabout heart disease, the leading cause of death for American women. http://www.healthgap.omhrc.gov/heart_disease.htm

HEART DISEASE Heart disease is the leading killer across most racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States, accounting for around one quarter of all deaths in 2001. African Americans suffer the most from the disease. Around 40 percent of African American men and women have some form of heart disease, compared to 30 percent of White men and 24 percent of White women. African Americans are also 29 percent more likely to die from the disease than Whites. While Hispanics die from heart disease at a lesser rate than Whites, Mexican American women are diagnosed with the condition more frequently than White females. Mexican Americans, who make up the largest share of the U.S. Hispanic population, also suffer in greater numbers from overweight and obesity than Whites, two of the leading risk factors for heart disease. More than 25 percent of deaths in the Asian and Pacific Islander community and 20 percent of deaths in the American Indian community are caused by heart disease. Throughout this Web site, we include statistics like these to indicate some of the reasons why Americans should be concerned with the health gap. The most important message we can present is that it does not have to be this way. Individuals and families can take many steps to improve their health and the health of their loved ones, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has many resources that can help. Some of the best resources we have or know about are listed here.

About Adobe PDF Contact Information Robin Herman Director of Communications TRANS FATTY ACIDS AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE On November 12, 1999, the Food and Drug Administration announced its proposal to include the trans -fatty acid ( trans fat) content of foods on the standard food label. A 90-day period in which the public may comment then began. At present, only saturated fats are listed. Because many persons will be unfamiliar with trans fat and its health effects, we have prepared the following review. BACKGROUND AND SCIENTIFIC REVIEW by Alberto Ascherio, Meir J. Stampfer, and Walter C. Willett Departments of Nutrition and Epidemiology , Harvard School of Public Health; The Channing Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital What are trans fatty acids? Trans unsaturated fatty acids, or trans fats, are solid fats produced artificially by heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen. This process, partial hydrogenation, causes carbon atoms to bond in a straight configuration and remain in a solid state at room temperature. Naturally-occurring unsaturated fatty acids have carbon atoms that line up in a bent shape, resulting in a liquid state at room temperature. Which foods contain trans fatty acids?
