Men's Health - Physical health Heart Disease by Dr Rob Hicks What is it? What happens? Why does it happen? ... Contacts What is it? The heart is a powerful muscular pump that keeps the body supplied with the oxygen it needs. As with any pump things can go wrong. It may get tired and inefficient through over work or stutter because of problems with its electrical supply. The heart too needs a good supply of oxygen and suffers if it doesn't get enough. What happens? If the heart doesn't get as much oxygen as it needs the result is chest pain, called angina. If the supply to part of the heart is cut off the result is a heart attack, called a myocardial infarction, or even sudden death. Too many men die everyday from heart attacks, often before they've even reached retirement age. Why does it happen? Over time the arteries become furred up or narrowed by fat deposited inside them. Being male; coming from an Asian or Afro-Caribbean background; or having someone in the family with heart problems makes this more likely. Unfortunately these risk factors can't be changed. Eating a high fat diet, not exercising enough, being

Public release date: 14-May-2004 Contact: Beverly Cox Clark bclark2@emory.edu Emory University Health Sciences Center Emory study finds mental health and heart disease tightly linked Attaining and sustaining good mental health is just as vital as other factors, such as exercise and diet, in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, especially for women over the age of 45, according to a study by Emory University sociologist Corey Keyes published this month in the journal Aging and Mental Health. Using national survey data, Keyes' study examined the prevalence of mental health issues among people with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. In investigating linkages between the two, Keyes used a measure of mental health as a "complete state" that looked beyond episodes of mental illness to also incorporate the subjective well-being of people, and how well they are functioning and flourishing in life. The study found that cardiovascular disease was lowest in adults who were the most mentally healthy, and higher among adults with major depressive episodes, minor depression and moderate mental health. The relationship between cardiovascular disease and mental health was the same for age and sex, except for females between the ages of 45 and 74, where mental health issues under his "complete state" measure were much more prevalent. Previous research has found major depression and stress to be contributing factors for, and a consequence of, cardiovascular disease, Keyes says. Although good mental health traditionally has meant the absence of mental illnesses like depression, health care professionals, in treating patients with cardiovascular disease, "should view and evaluate mental health as more than merely the absence of psychopathology, and look at the full picture of how their patients are coping and functioning in life," he says
