41. ETS EXPOSURE INCREASES HEART ATTACK RISK 20% [08/16] ETS may be responsible for as many as 40,000 heart attacks a year. 13 of 14 recent epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk for coronary heart disease. http://ash.org/dangers/heartattack.html

ETS EXPOSURE INCREASES HEART ATTACK RISK 20% [08/16] The largest study of its kind to date has confirmed that married persons living with a smoking spouse increase their risk of heart attack by approximately 20%. This means that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) may be responsible for as many as 40,000 heart attack deaths each year in the U.S. Below is a summary of the study: CIRC Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Coronary Heart Disease in the American Cancer Society CPS-II Cohort Circulation: Volume 94, Number 04; Pages: 622-628; August 15, 1996 Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Coronary Heart Disease in the American Cancer Society CPS-II Cohort Kyle Steenland, PhD; Michael Thun, MD, MS; Cathy Lally, BS; Clark Heath, Jr, MD BACKGROUND: Thirteen of 14 epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of ~20% for coronary heart disease (CHD) for never-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), but this association remains controversial. If true, ETS might account for an estimated 35 000 to 40 000 heart disease deaths per year in the United States. CONCLUSIONS: Results are consistent with prior reports that never-smokers currently exposed to ETS have about 20% higher CHD death rates. However, our data do not show consistent dose-response trends and are possibly subject to confounding by unmeasured risk factors.

An Explosive Situation A heart attack is sudden. The causes of the heart attack are not. Years of unhealthy heart habits suddenly, unexpectedly, catch up with you. Anywhere. Anytime. A diseased heart is like a ticking timebomb. The heart attack is its explosion. Technically, a heart attack occurs when the supply of nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle is reduced or stopped. If the blood supply is shut down for a long time, muscle cells die from a lack of oxygen. If enough cells die, the victim will also die. Often, only a small part of the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen so the victim can recover. Why does the blood supply reduce or stop? There are many possibilities. One of the most common is arteriosclerosis , an arterial disease. If blood is unable to flow through the blood vessels, it cannot nourish the body and heart. Is there a way to predict a heart attack? Angina pectoris, or chest pain, is a warning sign of a possible heart attack. Any chest pain should be taken seriously and investigated. Heart attacks are frightening for both the victim and for the victim's companions.

44. Zoloft An article about the findings of a study regarding the use of Zoloft in patients who have had a recent cardiovascular emergency. By Susan Conova. http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/news/in-vivo/Vol1_Iss14_sept11_02/zoloft.html

9/11 Anniversary Coping as a Cop Zoloft Healing Art ... POV Of the 1 million Americans hospitalized each year for a heart attack, about 20 percent will also suffer from depression that puts them at triple the risk of dying. Yet most of these patients are not treated with antidepressants because older antidepressants were known to be cardiotoxic and the effects of the new antidepressants were unknown. In the first study of an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant in 369 depressed patients recently hospitalized for heart attack, the drug sertraline (Zoloft) has been found to be safe and effective. In this limited-size trial, researchers also noted less life- threatening cardiac events in patients taking Zoloft compared with those on placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant. The findings of the study, which took place at 40 medical centers throughout the world, were published in the Aug. 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The landmark trial paves the way for a larger trial to determine if sertraline treatment reduces death and recurrent heart attack. "Doctors have been afraid to prescribe antidepressants to heart patients," says Dr. Alexander Glassman, professor of clinical psychiatry at P&S, staff member at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and the paper's lead author and co-principal investigator. "But our results are very reassuring about the safety of sertraline. It's OK to go ahead and prescribe the drug to treat the depression." Dr. Christopher O'Connor, associate professor of cardiology at Duke University Medical Center, was also co-principal investigator.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Wilderness Emergencies Wilderness: Heart Attack Heart Attack Overview A heart attack causes chest pain because arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. A temporary blockage may last only a few minutes, but a full heart attack lasts more than 30 minutes and causes heart damage. Heart attacks are more common in middle-aged men, though even young men and women may experience heart attacks. Risk factors for heart attack include age (older than 55 years), smoking, high blood pressure, family history of heart attacks, and high cholesterol levels. Chest pain should not be ignored, though chest pain can be due to a variety of causes other than a heart attack: lung problems (asthma, pneumonia), stomach problems (ulcers, heartburn), blood vessel problems (aortic dissection), chest wall problems (pulled/strained muscles, inflammation of sternum-rib joints), and skin problems (rashes, such as shingles).

DALLAS, Texas (AP) Unusual fatigue and sleeplessness might be early warning signs of a heart attack in women, a study suggests. The study, published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, surveyed 515 women who had heart attacks and found that 95 percent had such symptoms as much as a month before they were stricken. Chest pains can be early indicator of a heart attack, but 43 percent of the women in the study said they never experienced chest discomfort, said researcher Jean C. McSweeney. The study is the first time researchers have identified fatigue and sleeplessness as possible early warning signs of a heart attack in women.

WASHINGTON (AP) A second health care worker died of a heart attack after receiving the smallpox vaccine, and federal officials continue to investigate whether the vaccine is to blame for cardiac problems. The vaccine has never been associated with heart trouble before, but as a precaution, the federal government says people with a history of heart disease should not be vaccinated until further investigation is complete. The 57-year-old Florida woman died Wednesday from a heart attack about two weeks after receiving the smallpox vaccine, said Walter Orenstein, director of the National Immunization Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She collapsed and was not resuscitated for 20 minutes and later died, he said Thursday.

That changed the day she woke up at 4 a.m. feeling light-headed and clammy. She might have passed it off as a bout of the flu if it hadn't been for the tremendous pain in her upper back. Thankfully she read the pain as a warning sign and had her teenage daughter drive her to the emergency room. When Loving arrived at the hospital, the doctor realized she was having a heart attack and immediately administered a blood clot-busting drug. At 48 she'd had no previous symptoms of heart disease, but all the warning signs were there she smoked, was overweight, got little exercise, and had a stressful job and a family history of heart attacks. And at the hospital she found out her cholesterol was at 313, well above the healthy range.

HEART ATTACK (also known as "MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION") HeartPoint animation: this will take approximately 1 minute to load. The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. "Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients. This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood. This occurs 98% of the time from the process of arteriosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") in coronary vessels. Although it once was felt that most heart attacks were caused from the slow closure of an artery, say from 90 or 95% to 100%, it is now clear that this process can occur in even minor blockages where there is rupture of the cholesterol plaque. This in turn causes blood clotting within the artery, blocking the flow of blood. This sort of event is illustrated above. The heart muscle which is injured in this way can cause irregular rhythms which can be fatal, even when there is enough muscle left to pump plenty of blood. When the injured area heals, it will leave a scar. While the heart won't be able to pump quite as much as before, there is often plenty of good muscle left to take care of the job, and recovery can be quite complete. While heart attacks are clearly scary, with modern techniques, patients survive most of them. Furthermore, most can have a long and satisfying life, perhaps more satisfying than before.

How is angina treated? Tests Now Performed in Many Medical Centers What are the symptoms of a heart attack? How is a heart attack treated? Is there any way to reduce the chance of a heart attack? What is a heart attack? Heart attacks result from blood vessel disease in the heart. Coronary heart disease (CHD), sometimes referred to as coronary artery disease (CAD), are more general names for heart attack (and angina). A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself (the myocardium) is severely reduced or stopped. This occurs when one of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle) is blocked by an obstruction, often plaque due to atherosclerosis. A heart attack also can be caused by a blood clot lodged in a coronary artery. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coro- nary occlusion. If the blood supply is cut off drastically or for a long time, muscle cells suffer irreversible injury and die. Disability or death can result, depending on how much heart muscle is damaged.

Heart Attack and Acute Coronary Syndrome September 2001 WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION) AND WHAT CAUSES IT? The heart is the human body's hardest working organ. Throughout life it continuously pumps blood enriched with oxygen and vital nutrients through a network of arteries to all parts of the body's tissues. In order to perform the arduous task of pumping blood to the rest of the body, the heart muscle itself needs a plentiful supply of oxygen-rich blood, which is provided through a network of coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart's muscular walls (the myocardium Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of heart attacks, which occurs when blood flow to the myocardium is interrupted. In general, in patients with coronary artery disease, the presence of one of three of the following syndromes suggests different degrees of severity. Stable Angina. Angina is the primary symptom of coronary artery disease and is typically experienced as chest pain. Stable angina is predictable chest pain and can usually be managed with life-style measures and medications, such as low-dose aspirin. [ See Box Angina Acute Coronary Syndromes.

The US-born star had been making records since the 1950s and was best-known for his enduring hits War and Contact. Starr, who was one of the first artists to be signed to the Motown record label, died at his home near Nottingham, his manager Lilian Kyle said. He had lived for many years in the UK. The 1970s rock star Suzi Quatro, who has known Starr since she was a teenager in Detroit, led tributes to the singer. It's a bitter irony that the man who wrote the words "War what is a good for, absolutely nothing" should die at a time when the majority of the world is repeating his very words Rahul, UK Send your tributes She said: "He was the best.
