Extractions: by Stacey Colino Cynthia Morse never imagined it was possible to have a heart attack in her early 30s. But it happened: In 1999, this mother of two suffered sudden cardiac arrest while shopping at Home Depot. "I keeled over in the carpet aisle," recalls Morse, now 37. "I never thought I'd have something life-threatening happen at such a young age." Fortunately, a nurse happened to be in the store; she administered CPR and got Morse's heart beating again. Although Morse was in a coma for a couple of days, she recovered fairly quickly; she was in good health overall and didn't have a family history of heart disease. "I suspect that because I'm an

The surge in competitive female sports has rewarded women with significant health benefits, says Anne Zeni Hoch, DO, Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Director of the Women's Sports Medicine Program. "Not all the risk factors for heart disease can be changed," says Dr. Byung-il William (Bill) Choi. "Some are hereditary. But others stem from lifestyle choices, and here's where men could learn a lot from women." "This really is a significant epidemic in many ways," says M. E. Csuka, MD, FACP, Medical College of Wisconsin Associate Professor of Medicine. "It robs people of so much of their quality of life." If you're a doctor who has seen a lot of good come from estrogen, it's hard to suddenly say it's bad. And yet, we do know now there are serious risks with estrogen in older women.

Extractions: Hot Topics TRANS FATTY ACIDS (TFA) SUMMARY Trans fatty acids, like saturated fatty acids (SFA), raise LDL (or bad) cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby increasing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). While there is no evidence of risk at current UK levels of intake, and the reduction of the intake of energy from fat, including from saturated fatty acids (SFA), is of major importance, IFST supports the WHO recommendations and subsequent recommendations from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and authorities elsewhere, that manufacturers should reduce the levels of TFA arising from hydrogenation; and notes the progress that industry has made in that direction. Consumption in the UK has been declining (Hulshof, 1999). While that statement sums up the present state of knowledge, scientists have to act on existing knowledge while recognising that further research will bring new information and knowledge, which may in turn lead to revised conclusions. IFST continues to support the need for continuing research in this whole area. What are trans fatty acids?
Extractions: (En español) Cardiovascular disease can take many forms: high blood pressure coronary artery disease valvular heart disease stroke , or rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease . According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease causes 12 million deaths in the world each year. Cardiovascular disease is responsible for half of all deaths in the United States and other developed countries, and it is a main cause of death in many developing countries as well. Overall, it is the leading cause of death in adults. In the United States, more than 60 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. About 2600 people die every day of cardiovascular disease. Cancer, the second largest killer, accounts for about half as many deaths.

Extractions: Experts estimate that one in two women will die of heart disease or stroke, and statistics reveal significant differences between men and women in survival following a heart attack. Research shows that women may not be diagnosed or treated as aggressively as men, and their symptoms may be very different from those of men having a heart attack. Findings from current research projects of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) focusing on cardiovascular disease in women are summarized here. Select to download print version ( PDF File , 274 KB; PDF Help Introduction AHRQ-Sponsored Research More Information Current statistics reveal significant differences between men and women in survival following a heart attack. For example, 42 percent of women who have heart attacks die within 1 year compared with 24 percent of men. The reasons for this are not well understood. The explanation accepted by many is that women tend to get heart disease about 10 years later in life compared with men, and they are more likely to have coexisting, chronic conditions. However, research also has shown that women may not be diagnosed or treated as aggressively as men, and their symptoms may be very different from those of men who are having a heart attack. In addition, new studies indicate that men and women react to drugs prescribed for heart disease and other women. Differences between white and black women in heart disease mortality are substantial. Deaths due to heart disease are about two-thirds higher among black women than among white women. However, heart disease mortality is lower among Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian/Pacific Islander women compared with white women.

Extractions: Cholesterol and Heart Disease I.Q. Check Your Physical Activity and Heart Disease I.Q. Estimate Your Heart Attack Risk "Act In Time To Heart Attack Signs" Heart disease is the leading killer across most racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States, accounting for 28.5% of all deaths in 2002. African Americans are 29% more likely to die from heart disease than non-Hispanic whites. This despite the fact that 9.6% of African Americans have heart disease vs. 12.2% of whites, although 26.7% of African Americans have hypertension compared to 20.1% of whites. Mexican Americans, who make up the largest share of the U.S. Hispanic population, suffer in greater numbers from overweight and obesity, two of the leading risk factors for heart disease, than Whites. Premature death was higher for Hispanics (23.5%) than non-Hispanics (16.5%). In the Asian and Pacific Islander community, 26 percent of deaths are caused by heart disease, which accounts for almost 20 percent of deaths in the American Indian community. In 2001, the number of premature deaths ( <65 years) from heart disease was greatest among American Indians or Alaska Natives (36%) and lowest among whites.
