CHOLESTEROL, GENETICS, AND HEART DISEASE INSTITUTE A Non-Profit Organization Research Education - Training - Sophisticated Lab Tests - Heart Disease Regression What's New The Smallest of the 7 LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) particles now linked to heart disease progression. Recently published in the medical journal Circulation Williams PT, Superko HR, Haskell WL et al. Smallest LDL particles are most strongly related to coronary disease progression in Men. Circulation Analysis of the Stanford Coronary Risk Intervention Trial revealed that of the 7 LDL subtypes (LDL I, IIa, IIb are large and IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb small), the smallest of the LDLs (termed LDL IVb) is the single best lipoprotein predictor of increase in coronary artery blockage in the 4 year NIH study. The average annual rate in blockage change was 6-times more rapid in those with elevated IVb (highest quartile) compared to those with low LDL IVb (lowest quartile). Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and the ratio of total cholesterosl to HDL cholesterol did not predict annual increases in percent stenosis once the effects of LDL-IVb were removed. MY HEART IS IN IRELAND Over July 3-4, 2004 the CGHDI sponsored the second International Cardiology Symposium held at Adare Manor, Ireland. This 2-day course brought together physicians involved in both preventive and interventional cardiology.

Do women really need to worry about heart and cardiovascular disease? What are the different types of heart and cardiovascular disease? What increases my chances for getting heart and cardiovascular disease? ... Stroke What is heart and cardiovascular disease? While often thought of as the same thing, heart and cardiovascular disease are different, involving different parts of your body. Heart disease refers only to diseases of the heart and the blood vessel system within the heart. Cardiovascular disease refers to diseases of the heart and diseases of the blood vessel system (arteries, capillaries, veins) within a person's entire body, such as the brain, legs, and lungs. "Cardio" refers to the heart and "vascular" refers to the blood vessel system. The heart is a strong, muscular pump slightly larger than your fist. It pumps blood continuously through the circulatory system , the network of elastic tubes that allows blood to flow throughout your body. The circulatory system includes two major organs, the heart and lungs, and blood vessels (arteries, capillaries, and veins). Arteries and capillaries carry oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood from the heart and lungs to all parts of the body. Veins carry oxygen- and nutrient-depleted blood back to the heart and lungs. Heart and blood vessel problems do not happen quickly. Over time, the arteries that bring blood to the heart and brain can become blocked from a buildup of cells, fat, and

Some of the most interesting nutrition research in recent years has produced preliminary evidence that large doses of vitamin E may reduce the occurrence of heart attacks. As a result, vitamin E has received a great deal of media attention, prompting consumers to spend $300 million a year on vitamin E supplements. A few health and nutrition experts are ready to jump on the bandwagon and recommend supplementation, but others are asking whether the evidence really warrants such a move. Judging by sales, vitamin E is one of the most sought-after dietary supplement among Americans. The nutrient is popular, it seems, even among professionals.

TOP TOP TOP TOP ... TOP Heart Disease and Stroke Heart disease is the leading cause of death for all American women and the number one killer of minority women in the United States . Nearly twice as many women in the United States die of heart disease and stroke as from all forms of cancer. Heart Disease Heart disease is a disorder of the heart and blood vessel system. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease of the blood vessels of the heart, known as “coronary arteries.” Coronary heart disease causes chest pain (angina) and heart attacks. When too little blood flows to the heart, angina results. When the blood flow is critically reduced, a heart attack occurs. Signs of a heart attack in women can be different than in men, so symptoms often go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed. For example, other than chest pain, women may have nausea, dizziness, or unexplained weakness or fatigue without chest pain. Although the term heart disease can refer to any heart ailment, it is usually associated with coronary heart disease. Blocked arteries in the heart severely restrict the amount of blood that can flow to the heart. In turn, this insufficient blood flow deprives the heart muscle of much-needed oxygen and nutrients. When the blood supply is interrupted, the muscle cells of the heart suffer irreversible injury and die. This condition is known as a heart attack.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Study: Job stress doubles risk of heart disease death By Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN Story Tools (CNN) Think you have a "killer job"? Well, you are not alone. Researchers followed 800 workers in Finland for nearly 30 years and found that those with stressful jobs had twice the risk of dying from coronary artery disease compared to satisfied employees. While stress is a very general term, researchers defined it as enduring extremely high demand while having little control. It could also be defined as high productivity with little or no reward. If this sounds familiar, then it might be time for a change. Besides lowering your risk of heart disease, you could be less susceptible to respiratory infections and strengthen your immune system by lowering your stress level. Take control, stay healthy and always keep informed. Thanks for reading "The Pulse," my weekly column on the week's top health and medical news. Here are more stories making headlines this week.

All WHO This site only Home About WHO Countries Health topics ... WRIGHT project Cardiovascular disease WHO WHO sites Cardiovascular disease printable version The Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke Overview An estimated 17 million people die of CVDs, particularly heart attacks and strokes, every year. A substantial number of these deaths can be attributed to tobacco smoking, which increases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease 2–3 fold. Physical inactivity and unhealthy diet are other main risk factors which increase individual risks to cardiovascular diseases. One of the strategies to respond to the challenges to population health and well being due to the global epidemic of heart attack and stroke is to provide actionable information for development and implementation of appropriate policies. As part of such efforts, WHO in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has produced for the wider audience, "The Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke". The atlas addresses the global epidemic of heart disease and stroke in a clear and accessible format. This highly valuable reference material has been designed for use by policy makers, national and international organizations, health professionals and the general public. This picturesque atlas is in six parts: cardiovascular disease; risk factors; the burden; action; the future and the past; and world tables.

You are here: Home Health Information Health Topics Cardiac Care Rheumatic Heart Disease What is Rheumatic Heart Disease: Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which permanent damage to heart valves is caused from rheumatic fever. The heart valve is damaged by a disease process that begins with a strep throat caused by streptococcus A bacteria, that may eventually cause rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can affect many connective tissues of the body — especially those of the heart, joints, brain or skin. Anyone can get acute rheumatic fever, but it usually occurs in children five to 15 years old. It is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease, a complication of untreated strep throat. Because of antibiotics, rheumatic fever is now rare in developed countries. However, in recent years, it has begun to make a comeback in the United States, particularly among children living in poor inner-city neighborhoods.

Heart Disease and Heart Attacks: What Women Need to Know Printer-friendly version Email this article Are women at risk? Women are at risk for heart disease and heart attacks, just like men. In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women over 65. American women are 4 to 6 times more likely to die of heart disease than of breast cancer and it kills more women over 65 than all cancers combined. Women develop heart problems later in life than men typically 7 or 8 years later. However, by about age 65, a woman's risk is almost the same as a man's. Return to top What do I need to know about heart disease and heart attacks? Women are less likely to survive heart attacks than men. No one knows why. It may be that women don't seek or receive treatment as soon as men. Or it may be because women's smaller hearts and blood vessels are more easily damaged. Doctors are working on finding answers to these questions. There's no question, however, that it makes sense to prevent heart problems before they start.
