Reversing the Effects of Heart Disease
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Andrew Bicknell asked:
For many people who are suffering from the effects of heart disease making some simple lifestyle changes is all it takes to reverse what can become a deadly condition if left untreated. The sad fact is that many who do suffer this disease fail to take the necessary steps to reverse it effects, which for the most part are relatively easy compared to the complications it can cause. Maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system is key to preventing and/or reversing the effects of heart disease and the way to do that is through healthy lifestyle choices.
There are two changes that everyone with heart disease needs to make if they are to successfully mitigate its potential impact: a healthy diet and an exercise program.
Diet – The health and medical community have been telling people for years that eating a healthy diet is one of the best ways to reverse the effects of heart disease. The first step is to avoid fatty foods, particularly saturated fat. Saturated fat leads to high levels of LDL Cholesterol, known as the bad cholesterol. This type of cholesterol forms plaque in the artery walls which narrows and hardens the arteries. This can cause a blood clot which can block the artery stopping blood flow or it can break free and cause a heart attack or stroke.
The best diet is a low fat diet that includes a good amount of foods high in fiber such as fruits and vegetables. Eat only lean cuts of meat and stick with low fat dairy products to avoid rising cholesterol levels. Even with information such as this the rate of heart disease in the United States remains high because many people simply do not follow this simple dietary advice.
Exercise – Your heart is a muscle and the only way to strengthen it is with exercise. Your heart becomes more efficient and doesn’t have to work as hard when it is strong. The best type of exercise is some form of cardiovascular or aerobic exercise such as walking. In fact walking is a good way to get started as it allows your heart and the rest of your cardiovascular system get used to your body’s new activity level. As you get stronger you can add more strenuous exercises like jogging, biking, swimming and weight lifting, or whatever form of exercise you may enjoy.
There is one other thing you can accomplish if you follow this type of plan. You can lose weight, which is a large risk for heart disease. Not only will your overall health be better but you will feel better about how you look and how you feel.
Reversing the effects of heart disease is relatively easy if you make the effort. Take little steps and before you know it you will be living a healthier lifestyle that will stick with you for the rest of your long life.
Oh, one other thing, if you smoke, stop! It’s that simple!

Rheumatic Heart Disease Information
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
David Cowley asked:
100 years ago Rheumatic fever was the leading cause of death in people aged 5-20 years in the United States. Entire hospitals were dedicated to the treatment of rheumatic fever in children. Today Rheumatic heart disease is rarely seen industrialized countries do to the proper diagnosis and treatment of strep throat.
Rheumatic fever occurs when an untreated strep throat infection migrates to the the rest of the body. Rheumatic fever affects the joints and heart, causing fever, muscle aches, and possible permanent heart valve damage (Rheumatic heart disease). Rheumatic fever gets its name because one of its main symptoms is actually pain in the joints rather than the heart. Rheumatic fever primarily affects children between ages 6 and 15 years and occurs approximately 20 days after an onset of a strep throat infection.
It is believed that rheumatic heart disease is responsible for 79% of some type of heart valve disease in adults in the United States with the balance believed to be the result of the recreational use of Amphetamines, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Ecstasy and other drugs along with other heart related diseases such as atherosclerosis and birth defects.
Rheumatic heart disease is the most serious complication of rheumatic fever and chronic rheumatic heart disease is estimated to exist in 5-30 million children and young adults in the poorer countries of the world. The best defense against rheumatic heart disease is to prevent rheumatic fever from ever occurring with the proper use of anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin or corticosteroids.
If rheumatic fever has been diagnosed then long term use of low dose antibiotics (such as penicillin, sulfadiazine, or erythromycin) will be need to prevent recurrence. There is no cure for the disease and patients may need to maintain an active treatment for the rest of the patient’s life.
The National Institute of Health estimate that rheumatic heart disease develops in about 3% of untreated strep throat infections in the United States. A doctor will need to perform lab tests to diagnose rheumatic fever if any of the following symptoms develope after the onset of a strep throat infections. Fever, irregular heart beat, nodes under the skin, and physical pain usually in the joints.
Today Australia and New Zealand have reported an unexplained jump in the number of cases among some populations with little or no access to health care. Switzerland calls rheumatic fever a disease born of poverty. Rheumatic heart disease is easily prevented by a good strep throat treatment, many young people of the world do not have access to the health care that would keep their heart valves healthy and extend their lives. Patients simply suffer through fever attacks, and fall victim to heart valve failure later in life.
Rheumatic fever can be managed with the proper antibiotics and with the use of common Vitamins and over the counter product to reduce further damage to the heart muscle, a long and healthy life can be maintained. Common products include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Sytrinol, Pantothenic Acid, Niacin, Policosanol and Antioxidants.
Vitamin C has show to lower high blood pressure.
Vitamin E improves circulation and promotes normal blood clotting and is known to help the red blood cells to live longer.
Sytrinol are known to be useful in helping maintain a healthy cholesterol level in the body by reducing triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein levels.
Pantothenic Acid is another form of nontoxic B vitamins and is critical in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Niacin is the closest thing available to a perfect treatment that corrects most causes of coronary heart disease. Niacin blocks the release of fatty acids from fat cells. Niacin plays a critical role in energy production, gene expression, and hormone synthesis. You cannot live without it. Niacin also tends to shift LDL particle distribution to larger particle size and improve HDL functioning.
Policosanol is a natural supplement derived from sugar cane and it promotes healthy platelet function and helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels in the human body.
Natural antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables such as, apples, blueberries, broccoli, cherries, cranberries, grapes, and spinach.
Lifestyle changes can also lower the risk of medical emergencies. If you smoke quit, eat healthy foods, maintain proper weight and get regular exercise.

Prevent heart disease
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Sajid Latif asked:
What is heart disease and why should I be concerned?
Heart disease is a name given to a variety of conditions that affect the performance of the heart. Important examples of heart disease include:
angina, in which there is poor blood circulation to the heart,
heart attack, in which there is death of part of the heart muscle, and
Arrhythmia, in which the rate or rhythm of the heart beat, is abnormal.
Your heart is the engine that drives your body. It is a powerful muscle that pumps blood to your entire body, providing the oxygen and nutrients that you need to live.
How important is exercise for a healthy heart?
Exercise is the one of the best – and most enjoyable – ways of lowering your chances of developing heart disease. Regular exercise helps your heart to become stronger, so it can pump more blood around your body with less effort. Indeed, if you exercise on a regular basis, the chance of you developing heart disease is about half that of people who do no exercise at all. Exercise can also help reduce high cholesterol and high blood pressure (both of which can lead to heart disease), help you to sleep better and help provide a feeling of well-being.
Should I stop smoking?
Yes. Giving up smoking not only reduces your risk of developing heart disease, but also the risk of many other serious illnesses, like cancer and emphysema. No matter how old you are, it is not too late to stop. As soon as you do, your health will improve immediately. Studies show that, after five years of giving up, the risk of developing heart disease is the same as for someone who has never smoked.
Giving up smoking is not easy and it may take several tries before you succeed.
What about high blood pressure?
High blood pressure increases your chances of developing heart disease, but there are usually no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure, so you may not be aware you have it.
Making changes to your lifestyle is a first important step. Try to:
keep at a healthy weight or lose weight, if necessary,
reduce the amount of salt you eat,
give up smoking,
learn to relax and reduce stress,
cut down on alcohol if necessary,
Exercise (see above).
Why should I cut back on alcohol?
We know that people who drink heavily are more likely to die of heart disease than those who do not. So, if you drink, do so in moderation. You may have seen recent reports that drinking in moderation (with an emphasis on moderation) may offer some protection against heart disease. But, if you never drink or seldom drink, do not change your habits – alcohol should not be taken as a medicine.
What about my eating habits?
Eating well can also help prevent heart disease. No one food can provide all the nutrition you need, so eat a variety of foods every day from the following four food groups:
bread, other cereals and potatoes,
fruits and vegetables,
low-fat milk and dairy foods,
Meat, fish and alternatives such as beans and lentils.
Try to cut down on the amount of salt that you add to your food and avoid processed foods that have a high salt content.

Insulin Resistance Has a Major Effect on Heart Disease
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Scott Meyers asked:
Insulin resistance appears to have a major effect on heart disease. Work at Stanford Medical Center, the University of Buffalo Medical Center, and other medical research facilities have pointed to the higher incidence of CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) amongst patients with insulin resistance. Congestive Heart Failure is a rapidly-growing healthcare problem in the United States, with over five and a half million people suffering from the consequences of an inefficient, enlarged heart. Many in later stages are unable to walk or even get out of bed.
CHF can come from many sources, but insulin resistance is an independent causative factor which does not depend on lack of exercise or obesity to cause its damage to the heart and circulatory system.
How does insulin resistance affect heart health? The answer is difficult, as it is tied to complex interactions between various hormone levels and the reaction of organs to chronically higher levels of insulin in the blood. Those who have insulin resistance tend to have other factors (or ‘co-morbidities’) which, taken on their own, also increase the dangers to the heart and circulatory system.
For example, patients with insulin resistance also have lower levels of HDL (high-density lipids), the ‘good’ cholesterol which is associated with fewer heart attacks, and higher levels of LDL (low-density lipids), which are associated with artery-clogging plaque. They also tend to have higher blood pressure, another heart risk factor.
What lies behind these greater co-morbidities, and resultant risk for patients? Androgen levels were found to be higher in patients with insulin resistance, and androgen is the male hormone that is associated with stress and increased heart disease. Just as estrogen seems to have some heart-helping qualities, androgen has some inhibitors to heart health, both by diminishing estrogen levels and increasing stress-related inflammation.
In addition to the hormonal effects, high insulin levels in the blood over a longer period of time can lead to breakdowns in organs, particularly those sites in the body where changes arteries and capillaries can result in food and oxygen starvation. Diabetics are generally known to have higher incidences of heart disease, but they are also much more likely to have problems with lower leg circulation (because the blood circulates particularly slowly in the legs), vision (because of the network of small capillaries in the eyes, which are subject to blockage) and peripheral vascular systems, such as kidneys and the carotid arteries.
Recent work in Canada points to the effect of insulin resistance on inflammation and associated plaque production. Plaque is implicated in a number of diseases, including that which causes ’silent’ heart attacks in individuals who seem healthy. The effect of insulin resistance on plaque formation could be a primary one, or a secondary effect from other hormonal and metabolic changes in the body related to cholesterol levels and inflammation.
The overall conclusion in early research is clear. Insulin resistance poses problems to the body directly, through influence of high levels of insulin to critical organs, and indirectly, through influence on the secretion of other hormones and inflammatory substances which can lead to heart disease. While many diabetic patients are insulin-resistant, and diabetic patients tend to have much higher rates of heart disease, insulin resistance in itself poses an increased risk of complications for patients.

I’m writing a story, fiction, and I need a heart disease or condition currently uncured- I need details, but not too complicated because I’m no Scientist/Doctor :] Could you give me one? I need it soon!

Heart Disease and ACE Inhibitor
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Verlyn Ross asked:
This article is written to discuss heart disease and ACE inhibitors, what they are and their impact on you as a heart patient.
There are a variety of medications that a person can be prescribed for heart disease. One of these is known as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These are a group of medications that serve to dilate (or widen) the blood vessels in order to improve the quantity of blood that is pumped through the heart and they also serve to lower blood pressure. Also sometimes referred to as ACE inhibitors, they serve to increase the amount of blood flow and by doing so, this cuts down on how much work the heart must do.
ACE inhibitors are prescribed to patients for a variety of heart conditions with the most common being heart failure. Patients with high blood pressure are often prescribed ACE inhibitors, as are those with diabetes. For those suffering from Type 2 diabetes, this medication has been proven to slow down the process that causes damage to the kidneys. If administered to a patient shortly after suffering a heart attack, ACE inhibitors can prevent further damage and can also increase the survival rate of patients. Paramedics arriving at the scene of a heart attack are often trained to administer ACE inhibitors to patients. ACE inhibitors act as prevention for heart attacks and strokes for those people classified as high-risk.
ACE inhibitors are sold under a variety of different brand names. Examples of these include Capoten (captopril), Vasotec (enalapril), Prinivil and Zestril (lisinopril), and Lotensin (benazepril). Other types of ACE inhibitors include Monopril (fosinopril), Altace (ramipril), Accupril (quinapril), Aceon (perindopril), Mavik (trandolapril), and Univasc (moexipril).
It is best to take ACE inhibitors on an empty stomach, approximately one hour before you eat a meal. It is so important to always carefully follow the directions on the prescription label. Never take too many pills at once or too few pills at once. It is the kind of heart condition you have as well as the type of ACE inhibitor you have been prescribed that will determine the duration of the medication, the number of doses you are required to take as well as the time span that must elapse between doses.
While you are on an ACE inhibitor it is important to have your kidneys as well as your blood pressure checked on a regular basis as problems can arise if these two things are not monitored. It is never smart to suddenly just stop taking your medication if you do not like how it makes you feel or you question whether or not it is actually working at all. Be aware that if you have been prescribed an ACE inhibitor for heart failure, you may need to take the medication for a while before you begin to see results. You should still keep taking it regardless. When it comes to heart failure, ACE inhibitors decrease the chance that your health condition will become chronic and will get worse as time progresses.
If you have questions about ACE inhibitors speak to your doctor or healthcare professional about your concerns. The more knowledgeable you are about the medications you are prescribed, the better equipped you will be to cope with your heart condition. Always stay informed about new advances in heart research as well.
