| Heart Disease: Mitral Valve Disorder | | 2008-07-19 10:31:00 | | Yesterday, I just read several posts about heart disease. Experts say that heart disease is already the world’s biggest killer and is becoming more and more common. Nowadays, many people are suffering heart problems and mitral valve is one of the most common among heart diseases. Mitral valve refers to “inflow valve” for the main pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle. It will be

| | | Green Tea Lowers Risk of Heart Disease | | 2008-07-04 13:34:54 | | Drinking green tea rapidly improves the health of the delicate cells lining the blood vessels and helps lower one's risk of heart disease.Researchers writing in the latest issue of the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation have found that people who drink green tea have better blood vessel function just 30 minutes later. Specifically, green tea improves the function of endothelial cells. Endothelial cell dysfunction plays a key role in the development of clogged arteries, a process called atherosclerosis.There is also finding of a growing body of evidence that suggests that powerful antioxidants in green tea called flavonoids may protect the heart. Other flavonoid-rich foods include red grapes, and dark chocolate. The study authors say their results are the first to show that green tea offers a short-term improvement in the health of arteries. Black tea has previously been linked to short- and long-term improvements in endothelial function.A trial has been co | | By: Complete Health Blog | | |

| The Cholesterol - Heart Disease Myth | | 2008-06-17 00:00:00 | | In the last decade, cholesterol has become a familiar word in many homes - Dad can’t have bacon and eggs for breakfast because of the eggs’ cholesterol, we buy low-cholesterol margarine to lower our risk of heart disease, you buy the low-cholesterol sausages because they are healthier for you, even though they cost more.

| | How Does Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease? | | 2008-06-14 20:42:33 | | When there is too much cholesterol (a fat-like substance) in your blood, it builds up in the walls of your arteries. Over time, this buildup causes "hardening of the arteries" so that arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or blocked. The blood carries oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer chest pain. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack.High blood cholesterol itself does not cause symptoms, so many people are unaware that their cholesterol level is too high. It is important to find out what your cholesterol numbers are because lowering cholesterol levels that are too high lessens the risk for developing heart disease and reduces the chance of a heart attack or dying of heart disease, even if you already have it. Cholesterol lowering is important for everyone--younger, middle age, and older adults; women and men; and people with o | | By: medical dictionary | | |
| | smoking is a major risk for heart disease and stroke | | 2008-06-14 20:40:04 | | Smoking injures blood vessels and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries. Further, smoking is a major risk for heart disease and stroke. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. Quitting smoking lowers one’s risk of heart attack and stroke. Your doctor can suggest programs to help you quit smoking. | | By: medical dictionary | | |
| | Pulmonary Heart Disease | | 2008-06-05 20:54:46 | | pulmonary heart disease Pulmonary heart disease - is a very serious form of heart disease. If there is a change in the structure of the right ventricle located in the heart, due to respiratory problems. Pulmonary heart disease affects nearly 1 million people a year. Many things can increase your risk for developing pulmonary heart disease such as smoking, obesity or poor sleeping habits. Pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmon�ale) occurs when pulmonary arterial pressure is elevated secondary to dysfunction of the lungs and its vasculature and produces right heart fail�ure. Pulmonary heart disease is historically known as a chronic condition that has in most instances proved to be incurable and results in a very low survival rate. Today though, there are some new treatment options available that seem to have generally improved the prognosis for pulmonary heart disease. Pulmonary heart disease you are talking about is pulmonary edema. It can occur without any reason or cause, but the m | | By: Health Care Guide | | |
| | Do you know why erectile dysfunction is an early sign of heart disease? | | 2008-06-02 12:35:42 | | Prof. Know Why answers for your general knowledge and awareness on why erectile dysfunction is an early sign of heart disease: Erectile dysfunction and heart disease may seem to be two different problems, but recent findings from two studies of men with diabetes add to the evidence that erectile dysfunction can be a powerful early warning sign for serious heart disease. A Hong Kong study of 2,306 men with diabetes but no signs of heart disease found that those with erectile dysfunction at the start were 58 percent more likely to have a heart attack or other major cardiac problems over the next four years than those with adequate sexual function. And, Italian physicians who followed 291 men who had diabetes and early coronary heart disease for four years, reported similar numbers - those with erectile dysfunction were twice as likely as men without the problem to have major adverse events, including strokes.

| | It Tastes Like Butter, but Its Not, Its Heart Disease | | 2008-06-01 09:14:59 | | The term margarine was gleamed from the Greek word for pearl. The original margarine was white, shiny, and hard, some say and other's that it was gray. The first ingredients were milk, beef fat, sheep's stomachs and cow's udders. The procedure for making margarine was to treat the ingredients with heat, lye and pressure. Emperor Louis Napoleon the third, while at the 1866 World Paris Exhibition announced he would sponsor a cheap replacement for butter. Although it is said that he wanted to help the poor get their portion of fat in their diet, he saved money on butter for his army, after the French chemist Hippolyte Merge-Mouiries invented margarine. Some say it was first made to fatten turkeys, but it killed them. Arguments against margarine quickly arose by governments and food industries. Laws were made to keep margarine manufacturers from adding yellow food coloring to it make it more appealing and a tax was forced onto margarine by help from the Dairy industry.

| | Heart Disease Overview | | 2007-11-26 21:08:09 | | Heart disease is a generic term which is applied to a wide variety of health conditions and problems that affect the heart. As the name implies, these conditions and problems are generally related to the heart or its connected systems that the heart relies on. For instance, the circulatory system which carries blood to and from the heart can have weaknesses, ruptures, or blockages which cause problems with the heart itself, and these conditions are considered to be part of heart disease. In fact, the heart itself can haven any number of hidden abnormalities that won't may never manifest or only under stress. Generally speaking, anything which interferes with the supply of blood and oxygen to and from the heart is lumped under the generic brand of heart disease.Share This | | By: Mind Mart | | |

| | Natural Gout Cure: Cure Gout, Lose Weight and Decrease Heart Disease | | 2007-09-26 09:05:26 | | A few years ago, my friend Greg approached me about his arthritic problem of gout! He told me about his daily battle with the pain associated with gout! He also mentioned how going to bed (typically when a gout attack occurs) was more like a chore than a pleasure! Can you relate with Greg? The pain, the misery, the dread of the next attack! Or do you know a loved one who suffers from this painful disease?If you know anything about gout, you would guess that Greg was the perfect candidate for this arthritic condition. Greg was 30 pounds overweight, had a sedentary lifestyle (a sitting job), didn't exercise, typically ate high carb/fat meals, loved his beer and was 38 years old. I later realized, I probably could have approached him about wanting to try our natural gout cure as opposed to him coming to me.But like Greg (who has been gout free for almost 8 months now), you can naturally cure gout with simple gout remedies and gout prevention cures! And an added bonus, if you live a gout free lifestyle, I guarantee that you will lose weight and decrease your chance of heart disease in the process.Let me explain!Curing Gout and Decreasing Your Chance of Heart DiseaseMy career is centered around health! Therefore, my favorite part of the newspaper is the 'Health' Section. And while reading the daily paper, I noticed an article about gout! "Gout Increases Risk of Coronary Heart Disease". I instantly flipped the page and thought 'duh'. But, after thinking about my friend Greg, his family, our friendship, his life... I immediately flipped back and read the interesting article!A European study reported a 16 year follow-up of over 9,000 men between 41 and 63 who entered the study with no evidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). After the study follow-up, most men continued to suffer with gout attacks but also were considered high risk for coronary heart disease. And as you might know, 1 out of every 5 deaths is associated with heart disease.And the kicker! Men with gout were about 50% more likely to die from an acute heart attack than those men without gout! With millions of gout hospital visits each year, and over 500,000 coronary deaths per year... Can you understand the seriousness of gout?Gout can be a life and death ailment if left untreated! I immediately made a phone call to Greg to check up! Greg followed our simple Natural Gout Cure and cured his gout, lost over 20 pounds and his blood pressure was over 15 points lower! I jokingly told him that he will be our 'cure gout poster child'.How did he do it? He was pro-active about curing gout and began living a healthy lifestyle! And you can too!A Natural Gout Cure- No mediations needed and NO side-effectsHere is a list of some basic tips if you or a loved one is suffering from gout!1.) Maintain Your Healthy Weight!2.) Avoid Eating Meats (Purines)!3.) Drink half your weight in water! In ounces that is! I weight 180 pounds so I would drink 90 ounces of water per day! Roughly, 11 cups of water per day!4.) Avoid or limit Alcohol Consumption.5.) Exercise on a daily basis! Try to get at least 15 minutes of activity per day.And finally, if you want to follow the same path that Greg and hundreds of other ex-gout sufferers followed, please take a few seconds to consider:Do you want a simple step-by-step natural gout cure treatment that is guaranteed to work?Are you sick of popping pills to 'band-aid' the pain?Do you want to discover how you can cure the pain and not hide it?Are you tired of wasting over 200 dollars on a hospital visits and over-priced medication?Do you want to discover a simple 'kitchen cupboard' cure that works in minutes?If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, please take a few moments to check out our Natural Gout Cure Website and our NO-RISK guarantee!

| | Gene Protects Against Diabetes, Heart Disease | | 2007-04-10 09:19:00 | | Why some people no matter what they do will probably never get Type 2 diabetes.People lucky enough to carry a variant in a single gene get added protection against both type 2 diabetes and heart disease, a new study finds.Individuals with the trait aren't immune from the conditions, researchers say, but a study of nearly 7,900 subjects found that they are as much as 48 percent less likely to suffer from either illness."This gives us insight into how heart disease and diabetes may develop," said co-author Eric Rimm, an associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.Scientists don't think diabetes and heart disease are inherited, but genes can play a major role, they say. "We do know there are genes that make people more susceptible to becoming diabetic if they're exposed to the right environmental factors," Rimm said. Specific genes have also been linked to heart disease.In mice, a gene variation appears to provide protection against type 2 diabetes and clogged arteries. In the new study, Rimm's team examined the medical and genetic records of 7,899 people to see if the variation did the same thing for humans.The study findings appear in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.A total of 4.3 percent of the people studied had one copy of the variant gene, Rimm said.These people appear to have won a kind of genetic lottery, because levels of triglycerides -- a potentially dangerous type of blood fat -- were 12 percent lower in their blood than in the other subjects. Their risk of heart disease was also 34 percent lower, and if they were obese, their risk for type 2 diabetes was 48 percent less than that of obese individuals who did not carry the gene variant.Rimm suspects that the genetic variation helps control molecular signals that influence how triglycerides circulate in the blood.What next?
