Angina and Heart Disease
Printer-friendly version Email this article
What is angina?
Angina (say "ann-gye-na") is chest pain. Angina is like a squeezing pain or a pressing feeling in the chest. This pain may come from blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This condition is called coronary artery disease (sometimes simply called "heart disease."). Angina can bother you when you are doing activities like walking, climbing stairs, exercising or cleaning. The pain of angina may make you sweat or make it hard to catch your breath. You may feel pain in your arm or neck as well as in your chest. If the pain is mild, it may go away after a minute or so of rest. If the pain is more severe, medicine may be needed. A medicine called nitroglycerin often is used to treat severe angina. Some people have angina that comes on with a certain level of activity and goes away easily. They may have this kind of angina for a long time. This is called stable angina.

Study links baldness, heart disease
Researchers say the more hair men lose, the greater their cardiac risk
By John Fauber
of the Journal Sentinel staff Last Updated: Jan. 24, 2000 So, a middle-aged man is talking to his doctor, and the doctor says, "You're bald." The patient says, "If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion." The doctor says, "OK, you've got a bad heart, too." What sounds like a joke from a Rodney Dangerfield routine actually is one of the findings published today from the ongoing Physicians' Health Study, conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The study found that men with male pattern baldness may be at increased risk for heart disease. Published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a journal of the American Medical Association, the study analyzed baldness and heart disease among 22,071 men ages 40 to 84.

64. The History Of Heart Disease
Before 1900, very few people died of heart disease. Since then, heart diseasehas become the number one killer in the United States.

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.

65. Heart Disease
Millions of Americans suffer from some form of heart disease. Increasingly,women are becoming the greater percentage of heart disease sufferers.
http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/healthy/disease.html
One Among Millions
What happens if you ignore the recommended healthy heart habits? Perhaps nothing. Many people live long lives without paying much attention to their heart. However, it is more likely that you will develop some form of heart disease. Millions of Americans suffer from some form of heart disease. The statistics are staggering. Commonly, people suffer from high blood pressure . Some suffer heart disease as a result of diabetes . Others develop an arrhythmia, murmur, or irregular heartbeat. Increasingly, women are becoming the greater percentage of heart disease sufferers.
Listen to a heart murmur. How do you know if you have heart disease? Consult your doctor. If you don't, eventually your heart will let you know. A heart attack is the heart's way of letting you know that something is seriously wrong. Occasionally, the heart disease is so severe that doctors decide that surgery is necessary. Hopefully, you'll decide to follow the recommended healthy heart habits. If you do, you won't have to worry much about heart disease. It's a decision worth making.

Charity providing some information for patients about coronary heart disease. Emphasis on cholesterol and lipids.
http://www.familyheart.org
The Hyperlipidaemia Education and Research Trust provide information for patients and families with inherited high cholesterol and scientific research and good clinical practice for the management of hyperlipidaemia within the UK   This genetic condition which involves the liver producing too much cholesterol, clinically known as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), affects around 1in 500 of the UK population. Undiagnosed patients who have a heart attack, often in their thirties and forties, are one hundred times more likely not to survive when compared with others who have heart attacks for other reasons. HEART UK is committed to raising awareness of heart disease in the UK and stressing the importance of a healthy lifestyle in reducing the risk of suffering from it. Backed by a very able and knowledgeable Medical Task Force HEART UK provides information on the risks of heart disease to the public and to their health providers. We can all benefit positively from knowing more about high cholesterol and taking more exercise and switching to better diets.

77. About Heart Disease And Stroke: Treatment, Risk Factors, Symptoms, News, Researc
American Health Assistance Foundation division, formed in 1985 to fund strokeand heart disease research and educate the public about these conditions.
http://www.ahaf.org/hrtstrok/about/hsabout.htm
National Heart Foundation AHAF's National Heart Foundation (NHF) program was established in 1976 to fund research on and educate the public about heart disease and stroke. Coronary Heart Disease: The narrowing of the coronary arteries due to the accumulation of plaque causes coronary heart disease (CHD). The narrowing and blockage of the arteries by plaque is called atherosclerosis. Coronary heart disease is the single greatest cause of death for both men and women in the United States, eclipsing all other causes, including cancer and lung diseases. Heart Failure: When the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood through the body, heart failure occurs. The seriousness of the condition depends on how much of the pumping capacity has been lost. Mild heart failure may have little effect on one's life, while severe heart failure interferes with even simple activities and can often prove fatal. It is a major chronic condition in the United States. Stroke: When brain cells are deprived of their blood supply, a stroke or "brain attack" occurs. Without access to vital nutrients and oxygen, brain cells die. 80% of strokes occur from a blocked blood vessel in the neck or brain, while the remainder result from a weakened blood vessel in the brain that bursts and bleeds into the surrounding tissue. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the primary cause of disabilities in adults. People over age 65 experience almost three fourths of all strokes.

Heart Disease Cancer ... by Greg Caton, President, Lumen Foods Heart Disease Preventive Compounds Cancer Preventive Compounds Read the most updated nutritional findings on soy protein , written by world-renowned phytopharmacologist, Dr. Suzanne Paxton and sponsored by Lumen Foods.
In 1985 when I wrote the Lumen book, there was already a large body of data connecting both heart disease and a wide range of cancers to high rates of meat consumption. The sixth chapter of that book alone cited over 190 references, most of which were related to epidemiological correlations between reduced meat consumption and lower rates of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and other degenerative diseases that are rampant in the West. In the 10 years since, there have been numerous studies that go beyond merely substantiating the benefits of a "meatless diet." Soy protein products, such as Heartline Meatless Meats and Heaven on Earth Fat Free Milk Replacer are finally being noticed for the value of their soybean protein protein which imparts cholesterol and triglyeride lowering properties in its own right.
