About 950,000 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each year, which amounts to one death every 33 seconds. Although heart disease and stroke are often thought to affect men and older people primarily, it is also a major killer of women and people in the prime of life. Looking at only deaths due to heart disease or stroke, however, understates the health effects of these two conditions: About 61 million Americans (almost one-fourth of the population) have some form of cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of premature, permanent disability among working adults.

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.

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

76. FamilyHaven: Low Salt Diets Often advised in the treatment of high blood pressure and some types of heart, kidney and liver diseases. http://www.familyhaven.com/health/lowsalt.html

Health Magazines Health Books Free Internet Access Health Shopping Guide ... Strengthen Your Heart Low Salt Diets Among the most widely prescribed modified diets in use today are those which limit the amount of table salt and salt containing foods you may use. These diets are often used in the treatment of high blood pressure and some other types of heart, kidney and liver diseases. They are also used when you are taking certain prescription drugs that cause the body to hold fluids. Table salt is a major source of sodium, which is the water holding mineral of the body. The amount of sodium required by our bodies to maintain good health is very small. It is much smaller than the amount we normally receive in our food and water. The body of a normal, healthy person easily gets rid of the excess sodium. It passes out in the urine. When the heart, liver or kidneys are not working properly the body may have difficulty getting rid of this extra sodium. This causes the body to hold onto more water and a swelling may develop. This swelling occurs mainly in the feet and legs. The condition is called edema. Some medicines, cortisone for example, may also cause the body to retain sodium and develop edema. The part that sodium plays in high blood pressure is less well understood. However, we do know that people whose diets are very high in salt or sodium are more likely to develop high blood pressure. Diets low in sodium help to control the condition. If a diet low in salt or sodium is needed, it must depend on the individual and his medical condition. The doctor must have the final word. If your doctor decides your salt or sodium intake should be controlled, he may either give you a printed diet sheet or send you to a Registered Dietitian. He will also send a diet prescription along with you. The dietitian will then interview you and work out a diet with you which meets the doctors’ prescription. This will also follow the eating pattern you have developed as closely as possible.

Mollie, an 11-year-old neutered male, American shorthair feline, was diagnosed in early 2003 with FUS (Feline Urologic Syndrome), a painful and potentially deadly feline disease. While FUS or, rather, Feline Lower Urinary Tract disease (FLUT) as it is now commonly referred to, can strike both female and male cats, it has a propensity for targeting mainly neutered males. Mollie was in unbearable pain and despite emergency treatment, medication, and catheters, he was unable to pass the crystals (or, sand) that had blocked his ureter; therefore, he was unable to urinate. Mollie's prognosis was extremely bleak so our vet referred us to a specialist who evaluated him as a candidate for a surgical procedure called a perineal urethrostomy After pre-operative EKG and ultrasound tests were made, we were informed that Mollie had a condition called called
