     Extractions: I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma until 1981 when my mom and myself moved to Scio, Oregon. I attended schools in Scio and Salem until high school, when we moved to Newport, OR. I attended Newport High School until the end of my sophomore year when I moved to Corvallis. I played basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer throughout junior high and high school. I truly enjoyed athletics. I also played in the band all throughout school. I graduated in June 1990. I truly miss all the friends I made while living in Oregon. In July 1994, I moved back to Oklahoma City. In January 1995, I enrolled in the psychology degree program at Oklahoma City Community College. It turned out to be a major life-changing event. I learned many things, especially about myself, and met some great people. I enjoyed college. However, the last 8 months of my degree were difficult. I received my Associate of Arts in May 1998.

     Extractions: CNN Medical Unit ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) A pacemaker device could help up to half of all heart failure patients live a more active life, researchers told the American College of Cardiology Tuesday. "The device was shown to markedly improve patient's quality of life and their functional capacity, and by functional capacity I mean that they were able to exercise longer and they were able to perform more of their activities of daily living," said lead researcher Dr. William Abraham of the University of Kentucky. Heart failure is the most rapidly growing form of heart disease in the United States. Some 5 million people have it and as many as 700,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. When medications and surgeries and procedures like angioplasty no longer work, the only other course of action has been a heart transplant. But results from a study on 500 patients indicate pacemakers may offer another treatment option.

     Extractions: (CNN) Congestive heart failure was once considered to be a concern primarily for older people. But a new study in this week's Circulation journal says people as young as 40 have a 1-in-5 chance of developing the potentially deadly disease. CNN anchor Carol Costello talked with medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the study and what steps to take to stay healthy. COSTELLO: Let's talk about this congestive heart failure study, because this is scary, because I happen to be in that age group. But one in five over 40 could suffer from that and not even know it? GUPTA: Right. See, the thing that's interesting about this particular study is we hear numbers a lot about cancer risks. We hear that you have a 1 in 8 chance of developing certain sorts of cancers. They haven't done those sort of statistical analysis before for congestive heart failure, and so this is the first time they've done it. One in 5, as you mentioned, Carol, over age 40, chance of developing congestive heart failure. If you have high blood pressure, that risk doubles to 2 out of 5. And these are all things we've sort of known but these numbers are pretty dramatic.

     Extractions: Slowing disease progression has emerged as the major management problem; relieving symptoms of congestion is only part of the task. Current guidelines recommend beginning with a diuretic, followed by an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker, and then a beta-blocker. Effective follow-up requires a team of physicians, nurses, and other health personnel. Dr. Katz is Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Former Head, and Dr. Silverman is Professor of Medicine, Cardiology Division, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington. Any effort to manage a clinical syndrome requires an understanding of its pathophysiology, its clinical manifestations, and the actions of the drugs available for treatment. In the case of heart failure, advances in both our understanding of the syndrome and the response to therapy have, over the past decade, greatly altered the goals of treatment. These changes are so dramatic that therapy based on 10-year-old concepts has become obsoleteand in some cases dangerous. This article provides a brief review of the pathophysiology of heart failure and current guidelines for therapy, highlighting information of special relevance to therapy of the elderly patient. Heart failure is traditionally viewed as a hemodynamic disorder in which depressed contractility and slowed relaxation reduce cardiac output and increase venous pressures. Until recently, therefore, management strategies focused on the hemodynamic consequences of pump dysfunction and the biochemical abnormalities that depress contractility and slow relaxation in cardiac myocytes. It is now clear, however, that heart failure is also a progressive condition in which most patients die within five years of the onset of symptoms (Figure 1), a prognosis similar to that of stage 3B breast cancer (metastasis to regional internal mammary lymph nodes or the chest wall). For this reason, optimal treatment must not only improve symptoms but also slow progression.

     Extractions: University of Maryland Medical System Web Site Writer Stephen Gottlieb, M.D. Heart failure is an increasing health problem in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, heart failure affects at least five million Americans, with about 550,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Heart failure is also the leading cause of hospitalization for the Medicare population, and is listed as a cause of death for about 40,000 people a year. The good news is that new treatments and technologies for heart failure are coming to the forefront at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Cardiac surgeons at the Medical Center recently implanted the experimental Jarvik 2000 heart pump to save the life of Woodrow Snelson, a 63-year-old heart failure patient who is awaiting a heart transplant.

     Extractions: Causes. Two-thirds caused by CAD. The second most common cause is dilated cardiomyopathy, which can be idiopathic or may result from toxins (alcohol, doxorubicin), infection (often viral), or collagen vascular disease. Other causes include chronic hypertension (diastolic dysfunction), valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy (amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and hemochromatosis). Evaluation. History. Typical symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, nocturia, or chronic cough. Physical exam.

Source: Mayo Clinic WASHINGTON (Reuters) Cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, which greatly reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, may also help keep patients with heart failure alive even if they do not have high cholesterol, new research suggests. Heart failure patients who took statins were 55 percent less likely to die during the year after they were prescribed the drugs than patients who did not get them, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.
