Science Electronic underwear warns of heart attack By Robin Lettice Published Friday 15th October 2004 11:27 GMT Get breaking Reg news straight to your desktop - click here to find out how Electronic underwear sensitive to fluctuations in the wearer's heart rate has been developed by the Philips Research facility in Aachen, Germany. The garment will automatically call emergency services when necessary, for example if the wearer suffers a cardiac arrest. This represents a considerable advance on the mobile phones which tell you when you're having a heart attack , as you don't have to hold the underwear in front of your heart for it to work. It also represents a step up from the current portable elctrocardiograms, as it does not require electrodes covered with electrolytic gel to be stuck to the wearer's skin. These can be uncomfortable if worn for long. The device uses sensors woven into the fabric of the underwear. These detect electrical fluctuations on the skin, which are used to tell how rapidly and with what force the heart is beating. It also records activity and stress levels, both important factors in determining a person's risk of a heart attack. However, an obstacle for the developers is the need for software to distinguish between increased heart rates due to stress or physical activity.

The study, in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, looked at Lamifiban, a drug now in its last phase of testing before a final review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The first "super aspirin," Aggrastat, was approved by the FDA last month and is now in distribution. The current treatment for angina chest pain caused by a poor blood supply to the heart muscle is conventional aspirin and a blood-thinning drug called heparin. The aspirin-heparin combination does not work in at least 10 percent of cases, and some patients go on to have a heart attack. Unstable angina occurs when years of cholesterol buildup on artery walls suddenly causes a rupture and platelets clump around the wound. As the clot becomes larger, it blocks arterial blood flow to the heart and can lead to a heart attack.

HEART ATTACK A heart attack occurs when there is a blockage in one of the coronary arteries and the blood supply to a part of the heart is cut off. This lack of blood can damage the heart. A heart attack is sometimes referred to as myocardial infarction. Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis is a disease process that is the most common cause of a heart attack. This disease occurs when the smooth inner lining of the coronary arteries becomes damaged and roughened, and fatty matter (sometimes called plaque) accumulates. As plaque continues to build-up the arteries become increasingly narrowed and hard, which restricts blood flow to the heart muscle. As atherosclerosis progresses, platelets (cells in the blood that aid clotting) can easily stick to the roughened vessel wall. This can cause small clots to form which will also block blood flow to the heart muscle. Occasionally diseased arteries have spasms (vasospasms) which further narrow the artery and limit blood flow as well. Angina The most common symptom of a heart attack is angina, often referred to

Scientists say they have found a way for coronary patients to minimise the risk of a second heart attack - drink wine every day. Previous research has shown that drinking wine in sensible amounts may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. But the new research suggests that it might also be an effective way to reduce the risk for people who have already had one heart attack. French researchers found that middle-aged men who had had one heart attack and who drank two or more glasses of wine regularly were 50% less likely than non-drinkers to have a second attack. Dr Michel de Lorgeril, of the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble, France, and colleagues studied 353 men aged 40 to 60 who had just had heart attacks. There were no significant differences in how severe their heart attacks had been, what drugs they used to treat heart disease or what they ate. The main differences lay in whether the men drank wine.

Tobacco Top Story Overview Lawsuits ... Opinion Secondhand Smoke Linked to Increased Heart Attack Rate By John Schwartz Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, May 20, 1997; Page A02 High exposure to secondhand smoke nearly doubles a woman's risk of having a heart attack, according to the largest study ever conducted on the issue. The study, being published today, provides strong new evidence supporting the hotly disputed claim that secondhand smoke poses a major health risk, and could play an important role in the first class-action lawsuit against tobacco companies over secondhand smoke, which is scheduled to begin in Florida on June 2. Researchers asked 32,000 nurses in a large ongoing study to place themselves in one of three categories: no exposure to secondhand smoke, occasional exposure, and regular exposure. The researchers then monitored the nurses' health during the 10 years between 1982 and 1992, and found evidence of chronic heart disease in 152 cases, including 25 fatal heart attacks. The researchers estimated the relative risks of coronary heart disease for those claiming regular exposure to secondhand smoke at 1.91 times that of women not exposed to tobacco smoke at home or work. Women claiming occasional exposure were 1.58 times more likely to suffer from heart disease than those not exposed.

Researchers in the United States say they have found a link between a gene called ALOX5 and atherosclerosis. This condition, which causes the arteries to clog up, is the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers said the discovery could lead to new treatments to fight the condition. The findings are based on a study of 470 utility workers in Southern California by researchers from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of California and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Fatty acids They recorded each participant's diet over 18 months and carried out tests to measure the build up of fatty acids in their arteries. The researchers also took DNA samples from each of the volunteers. They used this to examine the ALOX5 gene in each of the participants.

Heart Information - Adult Health Topics A-Z Angina and Heart Attack What is a Heart Attack? What is a heart attack? How does it occur? What are the symptoms? What is a heart attack? A heart attack occurs when an area of the heart is deprived of necessary oxygen-supplying blood, causing that part of the heart to be injured or die. Although heart attacks may appear to come on suddenly, damage to the heart is usually years in the making. How does it occur? Many attacks are caused by coronary artery disease in which the arteries that supply the heart with blood have with time become narrowed or blocked by fatty deposits. When blood flow is decreased, the heart fails to receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. Because the heart must beat continuously, any interruption in its function is life threatening and immediate medical treatment is needed. Sometimes the heart is damaged so severely it triggers an uncoordinated twitching of the heart muscle called ventricular fibrillation that replaces the normally smooth contractions needed to pump blood through the body. When this occurs, no blood is pumped from the heart and regular rhythm must be restored within a few minutes or death results. What are the symptoms?

Index Illustration Illustration Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) What is a myocardial infarction (MI)? Myocardial infarction (MI) is a heart attack. It occurs when there is a sudden, complete blockage of blood flow to a portion of heart muscle. Myocardial infarction is one of the most common diseases in the US and causes a large number of deaths every year. How does it occur? Myocardial infarction may occur at any time and often occurs without warning. As we grow older, our coronary arteries may become narrowed by the buildup of cholesterol plaque. When the arteries narrow, less blood can go through them, and less oxygen gets to the heart muscle. The process of narrowing is called atherosclerosis. The narrower the artery becomes, the more likely it is that a blood clot may form and block the artery completely, causing a heart attack. Sometimes sudden blockages can occur even in places where the artery was not narrow before. A heart attack may occur when the heart muscle needs more oxygen than the blood vessels can provide. This might happen, for example, during hard exercise such as shoveling snow, or with a sudden increase in blood pressure. Less commonly, a heart attack can occur due to coronary spasm. Coronary spasm is a sudden and temporary narrowing of a small part of an artery that supplies blood to the heart. It may be caused by smoking or drugs such as cocaine.

DCI Home Angina : What Is ... What Is ... Other Names Causes Who Is At Risk ... Links What Is Angina? (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle does not get enough blood. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. The pain may also occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It may also feel like indigestion. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) , the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries. This buildup of plaque is called atherosclerosis . As plaque builds up, the coronary arteries become narrow and stiff. Blood flow to the heart is reduced. This decreases the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Types of Angina There are 3 types of angina-stable, unstable, and variant (Prinzmetal's). It is very important to know the differences among the types. Stable angina . Stable angina is the most common type. It occurs when the heart is working harder than usual. There is a regular pattern to stable angina.

"These results underline the importance of new public health policy against environmental tobacco smoke,'' say Argentine researchers led by Dr. Mario Ciruzzi of the Argentine Society of Cardiology in Buenos Aires. The report, published in the current issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, included 336 adults who had been admitted to the hospital after a heart attack, and 446 patients admitted to hospital for reasons unrelated to heart disease. The researchers discovered that 43% of the heart attack patients reported a smoking spouse or child, compared with just 28% of those admitted for other reasons. The study also found that nonsmokers increased their risk of suffering from heart attack by 59% if they lived with a smoking nonsmoking husbands of smoking wives faced a 92% increase in their risk for heart attack, compared with a 50% increased risk
