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.

54. CHD Explained What Is Coronary heart disease? heart disease is caused by narrowingof the coronary arteries that feed the heart. Like any muscle http://nhlbisupport.com/chd1/chdexp.htm

What Is Coronary Heart Disease? Heart disease is caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. Like any muscle, the heart needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients, which are carried to it by the blood in the coronary arteries. When the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged by cholesterol and fat depositsa process called atherosclerosisand cannot supply enough blood to the heart, the result is coronary heart disease (CHD). If not enough oxygen-carrying blood reaches the heart, you may experience chest pain called angina. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by total blockage of a coronary artery, the result is a heart attack. This is usually due to a sudden closure from a blood clot forming on top of a previous narrowing. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body and that your body needs to function normally. It is present in cell walls or membranes everywhere in the body, including the brain, nerves, muscle, skin, liver, intestines, and heart. Your body uses cholesterol to produce many hormones, vitamin D, and the bile acids that help to digest fat. It takes only a small amount of cholesterol in the blood to meet these needs. If you have too much cholesterol in your bloodstream, the excess is deposited in arteries, including the coronary arteries, where it contributes to the narrowing and blockages that cause the signs and symptoms of heart disease.

With Diabetes, It’s the Complications That Kill You “If you’re diabetic,” says Dr. Rick Gillis, “you’re far more likely to have a heart attack, and to die of it, than someone who doesn’t have the disease.” In fact, having Type 2 diabetes is as strong a risk factor for heart attack as having Coronary Artery Disease. Screening Tests Give Best Information About Health Risks Full-body scans, which typically cost more than $700, are generating controversy and concern among many physicians. Dr. David Severance discusses the benefits of standard screenings such as colonoscopies and Pap smears.

Angina And Heart Disease Explanation as to what angina is, how to tell if heart disease is present, the treatments and side Category Health Conditions and Diseases Angina Pectoris......Angina and heart disease. What is angina? Angina (say anngye-na )is chest pain. Angina How do I know if I have heart disease? If http://familydoctor.org/handouts/233.html

Information from Your Family Doctor Angina and Heart Disease 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. When the pattern of angina changes a lot, it's called unstable angina. This is a sign of danger. Angina in someone who hasn't had it before, more episodes of angina with less exertion, and angina that comes on while you're resting are also danger signs. Unstable angina may be the first sign of a heart attack. If you get angina, you should call your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room right away. Another sign of danger is chest pain that doesn't go away with rest or after taking medicine. If you have chest pain that doesn't go away, go to the emergency room right away.

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.

59. Heart Disease And Smoking: Why You Need To Quit heart disease and Smoking Why you need to quit. People with heart disease,however, may need to stop taking in nicotine altogether. http://familydoctor.org/handouts/289.html

Information from Your Family Doctor Heart Disease and Smoking: Why you need to quit Why do I need to stop smoking? Cigarettes are the leading cause of preventable death in this country. Tobacco is toxic to your body. The nicotine in cigarettes makes your body release adrenaline. Adrenaline causes your blood vessels to constrict and your heart to beat faster, which raises your blood pressure. This can lead to heart attacks and strokes. The tars and other toxic substances in tobacco can cause cancer of the lungs and other organs. Tars also damage the lungs, leading to emphysema (a serious breathing disorder). Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide (which interferes with your lungs' ability to get oxygen into the blood), and other chemicals, such as DDT, arsenic and formaldehyde. All of these chemicals are bad for your lungs and body. That's why stopping smoking is so important. Why is it so hard to stop smoking? It seems hard to stop smoking because smoking causes changes in your body and in the way you act. The changes in your body are caused by addiction to nicotine. The changes in the way you act have formed over time as you have bought cigarettes, lit them and smoked them. These changes have become your smoking habit. When you have a smoking habit, many things seem to go along with having a cigarette. These might include having a cup of coffee, being stressed or worried, talking on the phone, driving, taking a break at work, having a drink, socializing with friends or wanting something to do with your hands.
