FACTS ABOUT CORONARY HEART DISEASE Some 7 million Americans suffer from coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common form of heart disease. This type of heart disease is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. CHD is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die of heart attacks caused by CHD. Many of these deaths could be prevented because CHD is related to certain aspects of lifestyle. Risk factors for CHD include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivityall of which can be controlled. Although medical treatments for heart disease have come a long way, controlling risk factors remains the key to preventing illness and death from CHD. Who is at risk for CHD? Risk factors are conditions that increase your risk of developing heart disease. Some can be changed and some cannot. Although these factors each increase the risk of CHD, they do not describe all the causes of coronary heart disease; even with none of these risk factors, you might still develop CHD. Controllable High blood pressure High blood cholesterol Smoking Obesity Physical inactivity Diabetes Stress* Uncontrollable Gender Heredity (family history of CHD) Age * Although stress may be a risk factor for CHD, scientists still do not know exactly how stress might be involved in heart disease.

Although we take careful account of your ideas we are not able to respond individually. Contents of the NSF document Alan Milburn MP Secretary of State for Health Foreword The Government is committed to building a new NHS: faster, fairer and more convenient for patients; a health service fit to face the challenges of the new Millennium. Ours is a radical and far reaching programme to transform the NHS. It will remain true to its values - based on need and not the ability to pay - but the changes we are making will make the NHS of old unrecognisable by the time we have finished our ten year programme of modernisation. For far too long it was accepted that NHS treatment and care would be better in some parts of the country than in others - not any more. We are determined to make sure that, in future, people in every part of our country can get the top quality and treatment and care they need, whether from their local doctors or community services, local district general hospitals or specialist regional centres. National Service Frameworks set out plans, based on the evidence of what works best, to ensure that in future these standards of care are available to everyone.

Heart Disease Program Project Information Group: Clinical Decision Making Group Project Leader: Bill Long wjl@mit.edu Purpose: To assist physicians in the diagnosis of patients with cardiac symptoms, focusing on hemodynamic dysfunction. Description: For predicting the effects of therapy we have developed a mechanism that uses equations for the hemodynamic relationships and a signal flow technique to calculate the likely quantitative steady-state change for all parameters given changes in therapies (or other parameter changes). This mechanism effectively captures the hemodynamic effects of the therapies on which it has been tested for a variety of pathophysiologic conditions. Questions, comments about this site?

39. The History Of Heart Disease Heart History. Before 1900, very few people died of heart disease. Since then,heart disease has become the number one killer in the United States. http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/history/history.html

Heart History Before 1900, very few people died of heart disease. Since then, heart disease has become the number one killer in the United States. The age of technology has made life easier and made people more prone to heart disease. Before the Industrial Revolution, most people made their living through some sort of manual labor. Walking was the major means of transportation. Laundry was scrubbed and wrung by hand. Stairs were climbed, carpets were beat, and butter was churned. With the arrival of automation, life became less strenuous. Most manual labor was either replaced or assisted by machinery. Automobiles, washing machines, elevators, and vacuum cleaners became commonplace. Modern conveniences made physical activity unnecessary. Along with the change in lifestyle came a change in diet. Machines were built to homogenize milk, process cheese, churn butter, and make ice cream. Previously, such high-fat treats had to be made by hand. Fried foods, like potato chips, hamburgers, and french fries, became staples in many diets. The combination of a sedentary lifestyle and a rich diet led to an increase in clogged blood vessels, heart attacks, and strokes. Heart disease became commonplace. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between the 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world's most serious epidemic.

search ABC of health health news healthy living medicines ... ABC of health How to prevent heart disease What is heart disease and why should I be concerned? Heart disease is a name given to a variety of conditions that affect the performance of the heart. Important examples of heart disease include: angina, in which there is poor blood circulation to the heart, heart attack, in which there is death of part of the heart muscle, and arrhythmia, in which the rate or rhythm of the heart beat is abnormal. In the UK, heart disease kills more people, both men and women, than any other disease. One British adult dies of heart disease every three minutes. Your heart is the engine that drives your body. It is a powerful muscle that pumps blood to your entire body, providing the oxygen and nutrients that you need to live. The average human heart works at a rate of 100,000 beats a day or an incredible 2,500 million beats over a lifetime of 70 years. Your heart is designed to last a lifetime, but you have to do your bit to help ensure it stays in good working order. There are many steps you can take to help prevent heart disease from developing. Read on to find out how you can increase your chances of having and maintaining a healthy, functioning heart.
