Two new studies led by Ronald M. Krauss, M.D., head of Berkeley Lab's Department of Molecular Medicine, suggest that only those at high risk significantly benefit from certain low-fat, heart-healthy diets. "The benefit of major dietary changes may best be assessed by determining the individual's genetic and metabolic profiles," said Krauss, who presented his findings at the American Heart Association's (AHA) 68th meeting. In the studies presented at the AHA meeting, registered dietitian Darlene M. Dreon, from Krauss' group, investigated the effects of a heart disease reduction diet on two types of patients: pattern A-those with low amounts of small, dense LDL (low-density lipoprotein); and pattern B-those with high amounts. LDL is a submicroscopic particle that transports cholesterol through the bloodstream.

22. New Heart Disease Tests Detect Recently Discovered Risks further correlate traits identified during testing with the response to diet andother the search for yet more definitive genetic markers of heart disease risk http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/HeartLab.html

May 13, 1996 BERKELEY, CA — Closing the gap between heart disease research findings and medical care, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has entered into a partnership to make state-of-the-art cardiovascular risk testing available to the public. Berkeley Lab has signed an agreement with a private company, Berkeley HeartLab, which will commercialize a panel of blood cholesterol tests that has not been available to the public up until now. Developed by the national laboratory, this panel detects the presence of traits recently discovered to be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. Cardiovascular disease, which accounts for 35 to 40 percent of all deaths in the U.S., is the country's leading cause of death. Because it identifies a range of abnormalities, the new test series will allow physicians to better select appropriate therapies to halt progression of the disease. Some disease patterns respond to diet and lifestyle changes whereas others do not. In certain cases, treatment with cholesterol lowering drugs is advisable. Berkeley Lab where researchers first isolated lipoproteins in 1949 is one of the world's premier research labs in this field. The Lab was the first to identify subclasses of lipoproteins and to determine that the ratio of high density to low density lipoproteins is a strong indicator of heart disease risk. More recently, researchers here discovered a trait called "Pattern B." Found in 30 percent of adult men and 15 percent of post-menopausal women, Pattern B can triple an individual's risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease.

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.

heart disease and diet By Kimberly Tessmer, RD, LD Heart disease is a broad term for any condition that affects the heart and blood vessels. This includes: heart attack stroke high blood pressure stable angina ... congestive heart failure poor circulation arrhythmias , or irregular heartbeats. Certain major risk factors have been shown to increase a person's chances of developing heart disease. Experts also believe other factors may also add to one's risk. These are called contributing factors. Some of these risk and contributing factors can be treated, or even prevented. Major risk factors include: family history of heart disease early heart attack or sudden death of father or brother before the age of 55 early heart attack or sudden death of mother or sister before the age of 65 increasing age 45 years or older for men 55 years or older for women being male Other risk factors include: smoking high blood pressure high blood cholesterol being physically inactive being overweight or obese diabetes Contributing factors include: choosing unhealthy habits to handle stress , for example, driving too fast, drinking alcohol , or getting angry using birth control pills when you are a smoker or have high blood pressure drinking too much alcohol having a change in sex hormone levels, as a result of natural or surgical

This misperception is widespread. A new national survey, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, reveals that most Americans (78 percent) are not aware that the signs of heart disease actually begin developing during childhood. The fact is that overweight and sedentary children, especially those who are "junk food junkies" with diets high in saturated fat, are well on their way to becoming adults with significant risk for heart disease. This potential epidemic has led heart-health professionals to hold a special session on kids and heart disease risk during the American Heart Association's (AHA) annual Scientific Sessions in Anaheim this week. Clinical research has now confirmed that elevated cholesterol levels in children are directly associated with the development of atherosclerosis (arterial plaque build-up) starting at a young age.

RELATED CONTENT 9 Heart-Healthy foods [Adobe PDF file] Healthy recipes The burden of unhealthy hearts weighs heavily in Michigan. The American Heart Association says Michigan ranks among the 10 worst states in cardiovascular disease mortality. Each year, 377 of every 100,000 state residents die from heart disease. That's more than 37,000 people annually. And while the average age of a person having a first heart attack is 68, the number of sudden cardiac death in people 15 to 34 years old continues to rise. Researchers are learning more about the causes of heart disease. But it is clear that most risks center around lifestyle. You can address the majority of risk factors by not smoking, being physically active and eating a healthy diet. Change isn't easy. But to improve the chances of living longer and better, it's time to make a commitment. And February, designated American Heart Month by the American Heart Association, is the ideal time to get started.

Home About WHF Seminars Programs ... Ask the Nurse Nutrition, Heart Disease and Good Health You may be trying to eat healthy because you know that dietary habits play a major role in the development of heart disease. With so many conflicting claims and information out there about what to eat, how can you make healthy choices? Nutrition scientists can't always say which foods affect risk of diseases and to what degree. Establishing the connection between diet and disease is complicated. That's where the USDA Food Guide Pyramid comes in. The USDA Food Guide Pyramid The new food Pyramid was designed to give people an easy guide to healthy eating. It was developed after looking at the research that was available at the time on the role food may have in relation to diseases. The Food Pyramid takes into consideration the latest health findings-the role fat, vitamins and minerals may have in the development of heart disease and other diseases. Breads and Cereals The Pyramid shows us that most of our food source each day should come from breads and cereals such as oatmeal, whole wheat and rye breads, brown rice and barley. These are starches that the body uses as energy. All starches provide nutrients but whole grain products such as whole grain breads and pastas along with less processed foods have a higher fiber content. The body needs fiber in order to maintain a healthy intestinal tract. Fiber gives your intestines "exercise" to stay in shape. Fiber also helps rid the bowel of toxins which may contribute to disease.

Higher in fat (40%) than the 30% recommended by the American Heart Association, the Mediterranean diet is gaining in popularity as a tasty, heart-healthy alternative to low-fat eating. The diet is from the Greek island of Crete where Cretans and other Greeks live longer than any other populations in the world - and - they are 20% less likely to die of coronary artery disease than Americans. They also have 1/3 less cancer than in the U.S. Is the Mediterranean way a better way to eat? Let's look at the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid (below) and compare it to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Guide Pyramid. http://oldwayspt.org Note 1: The authors of the Mediterranean pyramid recommend regular physical exercise, drinking 6 glasses of water a day and moderate consumption of wine. Purple grape juice may offer the same heart health benefits of red wine without the concerns of alcohol. Note 2: Other oils rich in monounsaturated fats, such as canola or peanut oil, can be substituted for olive oil. People who are watching their weight should limit their oil consumption.

Starting at puberty and continuing all the way into menopause, women have special health and nutrition needs that men don't. These unique requirements are related to hormonal changes and experiences that occur throughout the course of a woman's adult life. Whatever your age, it's never too late or too early to form healthy eating habits that are suited to women's special dietary needs. Women generally have less muscle and more body fat than men and, therefore, lower metabolism. That means women need significantly fewer calories than men to maintain a satisfactory body weight. For most women, between 1,200 and 2,200 calories a day is appropriate. Many women struggle with their weight, sometimes resorting to new diet fads and pills along the way. These are short-term fixes that don't hold up over time, and some of them may be downright dangerous to a woman's health. To enjoy a healthy diet that provides high-quality nutrition and a reasonable number of calories, the best thing to do is follow the Food Pyramid Guidelines.

The nutrients in Nutrition for Women impact heart disease risk factors such as high cholesterol. For example, each serving contains one gram of soluble fiber from oats. It has been proven that three grams of soluble fiber daily from oatmeal in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. This is because soluble fiber aids in the removal of cholesterol from the body.

37. The History Of Heart Disease combination of a sedentary lifestyle and a rich diet led to an increase in cloggedblood vessels, heart attacks, and strokes. heart disease became commonplace. http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/history/history.html

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.

38. Eating For A Healthy Heart Eating for a Healthy heart. You can lower your chances of getting heart disease.One way is through your diet. Remember Eat less fat. Eat less sodium. http://www.fda.gov/opacom/lowlit/hlyheart.html

Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration 5600 Fishers Lane, (HFI-40) Rockville, MD 20857 February 2000 (FDA) 00-2302 Eating for a Healthy Heart The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U. S. government agency that makes sure foods are safe, wholesome and honestly labeled. Eat Healthy to Help Prevent Heart Disease What kills Americans most? Heart disease. It's the No. 1 cause of death in this country. You can lower your chances of getting heart disease. One way is to choose foods carefully. For a healthy heart, eat: less fat less sodium fewer calories more fiber Eat less fat Some fats are more likely to cause heart disease. These fats are usually found in foods from animals, such as meat, milk, cheese, and butter. They also are found in foods with palm and coconut oils. Eat less of these foods. Eat less sodium Eating less sodium can help lower some people's blood pressure. This can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Sodium is something we need in our diets, but most of us eat too much of it. Much of the sodium we eat comes from salt we add to our food at the table or that food companies add to their foods. So, avoid adding salt to foods at the table. Eat fewer calories When we eat more calories than we need, we gain weight. Being overweight can cause heart disease.
