Extractions: BMJ The benefits of lowering raised cholesterol concentrations are established in patients with documented coronary artery disease and those at high risk. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (statins) are highly effective agents with few reported adverse effects. However, as their use becomes more common, adverse effects may be increasingly recognised. Impotence, rarely volunteered or asked about, is an important adverse effect of drugs and not currently associated with simvastatin.

White, DSc Background: Women with polycystic ovaries have associated risk factors for coronary artery disease. It is unknown whether women with more extensive coronary artery disease are more likely to have polycystic ovaries. Objective: To determine whether women who have more extensive coronary artery disease as seen on coronary angiography are more likely to have polycystic ovaries appearing on ultrasonography than are women with less severe coronary disease.
Extractions: on page 1290. C oronary artery disease has been widely considered a "man's disease" and not a major concern for women. Yet cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in adult women in the United States. A 1995 Gallup poll found that one in three primary care physicians in this country, as well as four out of five women, was unaware of this fact. Women's age-adjusted mortality rates from heart disease are four to six times higher than their mortality rates from breast cancer. Yet, because public campaigns have emphasized breast cancer risks in the effort to promote screening mammography, many women are more afraid of breast cancer than of coronary artery disease. Women are less likely than men to be offered treatment that could prevent reinfarction.

Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information A patient information handout on coronary artery disease , is provided on page 1307. Nearly one half of Americans die of cardiovascular disease. The morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease is strongly related to abnormal lipid levels, oxidation of lipids and intra-arterial clot formation. Nutrition powerfully influences each of these factors. There is growing evidence that patients can improve lipid levels and decrease the rate of cardiovascular events by "adding" specific foods to their diets and switching from saturated and polyunsaturated to monounsaturated fats and n-3 fatty acids. Appropriate dietary changes decrease arteriosclerotic plaque formation, improve endothelial vasomotor dynamics, reduce oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and enhance thrombolytic activity. Brief discussions between physicians and patients can influence patients' food choices. Changes in diet can reduce the premature mortality and morbidity associated with coronary artery disease. P hysicians in the United States diagnose over 500,000 new cases of coronary artery disease each year. Diet is strongly related to the development of this disease. Family physicians can play a critical role in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease by influencing their patients' dietary choices.

Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. Attendees bring an "Ornish Friendly" dish with them. This is shared by the attendees from 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. From 7:30 p.m. to 9.00p.m. the meetings include general announcements and a brief orientation for guests and new members, followed by a presentation by the guest speaker.

What can I do to lower my risk of CHD? ... What if changing my diet doesn't help? Printer-friendly version Email this article Coronary heart disease (CHD) is sometimes called coronary artery disease. A coronary artery is a blood vessel that carries blood to your heart. You arteries are like narrow tubes. A fatty substance called plaque can build up in your arteries, blocking or slowing the flow of blood and oxygen through them. This can happen in any artery, but when it happens in the coronary arteries, your heart doesn't get the blood and oxygen it needs to work properly. Coronary heart disease can lead to serious health problems, including angina (pain or pressure in the chest) and heart attack. Return to top Both men and women can get CHD. It can be hereditary (run in your family). It might also develop as you get older and plaque builds up in your arteries over the years. You may get CHD if you are overweight or if you have high blood pressure or diabetes. High cholesterol may also lead to CHD (see below). CHD can stem from making unhealthy choices such as smoking, eating a high-fat diet and not exercising enough. Return to top What is cholesterol?

Extractions: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is arteriosclerosis of the inner lining of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. CAD is a common form of heart disease and is a major cause of illness and death. CAD begins when hard cholesterol substances (plaques) are deposited within a coronary artery. (The coronary arteries arise from the aorta, which is adjacent to the heart.) The plaques can cause a tiny clot to form which can obstruct the flow of blood to the heart muscle. Symptoms of CAD include 1) chest pain ( angina pectoris) from inadequate blood flow to the heart; 2) heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), from the sudden total blockage of a coronary artery; or 3) sudden death, due to a fatal rhythm disturbance.
