Browse all health information Depression Can Break Your Heart Research over the past two decades has shown that depression and heart disease are common companions and, what is worse, each can lead to the other. It appears now that depression is an important risk factor for heart disease along with high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure. A study conducted in Baltimore, MD found that of 1,551 people who were free of heart disease, those who had a history of depression were four times more likely than those who did not to suffer a heart attack in the next 14 years. In addition, researchers in Montreal, Canada found that heart patients who were depressed were four times as likely to die in the next 6 months as those who were not depressed.

Extractions: Obesity is an increasingly prevalent metabolic disorder affecting not only the US population but also that of the developing world. It is estimated from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (1988-1991) that 33% of the US population is obese, compared with 25% in NHANES II (1976-1980). Fatness is associated with a number of comorbidities, including several forms of heart disease. Although heredity explains 30%

Extractions: Cardiovascular Disease Features Heart disease and stroke are major causes of illness, disability and death in Canada which causes an increase in personal, community and health care costs. Risk factors of cardiovascular disease: The Canadian Heart Health Initiative is a countrywide multi-level strategy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the major cause of death and disability and of rising health care costs in Canada. Heart health is an integrated approach to the control of the multiple risk factors responsible for CVD. This is an area where major health gains can be made in Canada. In 1987 Health Canada offered a partnership to the provincial departments of health to participate in the Canadian Heart Health Initiative which was planned with a fifteen year horizon (1987-2000). The Initiative has resulted in extensive networks and coalitions involving Health, all provincial departments of health, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and over 1,000 voluntary, professional, and community organizations across the country. Coalition building and maintenance is the hallmark of the Canadian Heart Health Initiative as is the successful implementation of partnerships and coalition-based models to further heart health policy and program implementation through a linkage system involving the national, provincial and community levels. The Canadian Heart Health Network is maintained by Health Canada, the Conference of Principal Investigators (COPI) and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Every other year, several hundred practitioners and stakeholders gather to share scientific information and opportunities for training, skills development and networking.

It's a stereotype that has been reinforced by the media and by the medical profession itself, which in the past has focused much of its research into heart disease on this type of patient. Heart disease, in its various forms, is the leading killer of American women. The following statistics paint a graphic picture: One-third of all deaths of American women each year are attributable to heart disease. Heart disease kills more women each year than cancer, accidents, and diabetes combined. All forms of cardiovascular disease kill nearly 500,000 American women a year. Stroke alone kills 88,000.

The blood vessels are narrowed or blocked due to the deposition of cholesterol plaques on their walls. This reduces the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart musculature, which is essential for proper functioning of the heart. This may eventually result in a portion of the heart being suddenly deprived of its blood supply leading to the death of that area of heart tissue, resulting in a heart attack. As the heart is the pump that supplies oxygenated blood to the various vital organs, any defect in the heart immediately affects the supply of oxygen to the vital organs like the brain, kidneys etc. This leads to the death of tissue within these organs and their eventual failure or death. Ischaemic Heart Disease is the most common cause of death in several countries around the world.
Ischaemic Heart Disease - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Ischaemic heart disease. (Redirected from heart disease). Ischaemic heart disease is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_disease

Extractions: Ischaemic heart disease is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart . It is the most common cause of death in most western countries. Ischaemia means a "reduced blood supply". The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle and no alternative blood supply exists, so a blockage in the coronary arteries reduces the supply of blood to heart muscle. Most ischaemic heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis What is it? This can cause: Temporary damage and pain ( ischaemia Loss of muscle activity (acute heart failure) Permanent heart muscle damage ( acute myocardial infarction /infarct Long term loss of heart muscle activity (chronic heart failure Cardiac arrhythmias : irregular heartbeat which can be fatal.

TIMEasia Magazine: Asia's War With Heart Disease
Asia s War With heart Disease Across the region, the death toll from cardiovascular disease is soaring. Asia s War With heart Disease.
http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/501040510/story.html

Extractions: The good news is that risk can be greatly reduced with a mix of lifestyle modifications and medical treatment. Most of us are aware that eating a lighter, more balanced diet, quitting tobacco and exercising regularly are enough to head off most cases of heart disease before they ever happen. For those who can afford it, better treatments and medicines are also increasingly effective in curbing the high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels that lead directly to cardiovascular disease. These advances are turning what was once an eventual death sentence into a manageable condition. But in much of Asia, the best that medical science has to offer is either unavailable or is too expensive for most people. That makes education and prevention programs all the more urgent. "Prevention can be done, it should be done, and this is the right moment to put every effort into it," says Dr. T.F. Tse, a leading Hong Kong cardiologist. "Otherwise, the result would be unthinkable."

Extractions: Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi is one of the busiest cardiac-care centers in the world. The hospital handles more than 350 heart-disease cases a day in its outpatient clinics; each year its doctors perform 3,000 angioplasties, more than 4,000 heart surgeries and 12,000 angiograms. And if the current trends continue, Escorts will only become busier. So vulnerable is the subcontinent to cardiovascular ailments that the World Health Organization (who) estimates that 60% of the world's cardiac patients will be Indian by 2010. "Of all Asians, South Asians have by far the worst problems" when it comes to heart disease, says Dr. Timothy Gill, an Asia-Pacific specialist with the International Obesity Task Force, a medical NGO that coordinates with the who on obesity issues. Equally troubling, it is not just the elderly who are being hit by cardiovascular disease. In India, nearly 50% of CVD-related deaths occur below the age of 70, compared with just 22% in the West. That trend is particularly alarming because of its potential impact on one of the region's fastest-growing economies. In 2000, for example, the country lost more than five times as many years of economically productive life to CVD than did the U.S., where most of those killed by heart disease are above retirement age. "That's why the impact heart disease will have on India down the road is going to be much greater than in America," predicts Dr. Uday Saxena, chief scientific officer of a leading Indian pharmaceutical company, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories. "It'll have huge economic consequences."

Mrs. Bush Heart disease is the leading cause of death of American women, accounting for 32 percent of all deaths per year. Nearly 366,000 women in America die every year of heart disease. 8 million American women are currently living with heart disease and of those, 6 million have a family history of heart disease. Fewer than half of all women are aware that heart disease is the number 1 killer of American women. Most women identify cancer as the leading cause of death. In the United States, all cardiovascular diseases combined claim the lives of more women's every year than the next 16 causes of death combined and almost twice as many as all forms of cancer. One in three women will die from heart disease, while one in 25 women die from breast cancer. Every year since 1984, more women than men have died of cardiovascular disease. There is no previous evidence of coronary heart disease in 63 percent of the women who suddenly die from the disease. Smoking is the most prevalent and preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in women younger than 45.
