Progress against Heart Disease
Author: Fred C. Pampel
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313057745
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
In the last 35 years, declining deaths from heart disease have translated into 13 million lives saved and extended. Medical treatments and lifestyle changes have dealt successfully with the serious heart problems of Vice President Richard Cheney, talk show host David Letterman, Disney-ABC CEO Michael Eisner, and countless other less famous people. In the past, those with serious heart disease would have died young, but today can live long and active lives. Few families have not benefited from improvements in the way we treat and prevent heart problems, yet we often hear that poor lifestyles and the limitations of modern medicine threaten our health and well-being. Although room for improvement always remains, this book provides evidence to the contrary: we have made and continue to make tremendous progress in dealing with heart disease. In reviewing the progress being made in this crucially important area of health, Pampel and Pauley offer an optimistic view of the potential for continued improvement and for longer, healthier lives. Despite the prevalence of heart disease, deaths from this cause have declined greatly in past decades. From its peak in 1968, the heart disease mortality rate has fallen by 52% for men and 48% for women. That translates into over 13 million lives saved and extended. The lives saved are not limited to the very old. To the contrary, heart disease mortality has fallen faster among the young and middle aged.

Your Arteries-An Owner's Manual
Author: William Driscoll
Publisher: Hawkeye Press
ISBN:
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
How to prevent a heart attack or stroke? Start with an artery screening test. The disease known as heart disease is better understood as a disease of the arteries. A blockage in an artery serving the heart can cause a heart attack, while a blockage in an artery serving the brain can cause a stroke. Fortunately, a heart attack or stroke can be prevented. That’s because artery clogging that leads to a heart attack or stroke develops slowly over time. Anyone who detects artery clogging at an early stage can slow or stop its progression, by lowering the level of “bad” LDL cholesterol in the blood. Healthy lifestyle choices can help to lower LDL, while statin therapy may be needed to achieve the healthiest LDL level. Statin therapy can stop the progression of artery clogging and also stabilize existing artery-clogging plaque, giving the best chance of preventing a heart attack or stroke. Five heart doctors (cardiologists) have recommended that doctors check their patients for artery clogging, but so far, very few do. Fortunately, anyone can obtain a safe and simple test to detect artery-clogging at an early stage, without a doctor’s order. If you obtain this screening test and it shows you have artery clogging, you can work with your doctor to reduce your LDL level, potentially adding healthy years to your life. This book—based on 40 medical journal articles—provides all the information you need to preserve the health of your arteries, for a healthier life. WILLIAM DRISCOLL is a journalist and author who was fortunate to learn that his arteries were getting clogged, so he could take action to protect his health. He wrote this book so others could have the same opportunity. Chapters: Heart disease is a disease of the arteries How arteries get clogged even with a “normal” cholesterol level Limiting artery clogging at an early stage can protect your health Should you get tested for artery clogging? How to get tested for artery clogging If you have artery clogging: Healthy choices If you have artery clogging: Statin therapy How safe are statins?
