Unlike death and taxes, cardiovascular disease may be avoided

If you take good care of yourself, you just might end up avoiding cardiovascular disease (CVD), the most common killer in this country.

If you take good care of yourself, you just might end up avoiding cardiovascular disease (CVD), the most common killer in this country. That's the bottom line from a study published this week in JAMA. Researchers from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine analyzed five long-term stud...

Can You Get Heart Cancer?

Our body tissues are dividing all the time. This creates a risk of cancerous cell growth. Because the cells in the heart do not divide, heart cancer is a rare condition. But tumors, both cancerous (malignant) and noncancerous (benign) can form and lead to problems. At Cleveland Clinic, we treat about 20 patients a year with cardiac tumors.

Cardiac MRI detects myocardial infarction in asymptomatic patients

Unrecognised myocardial infarction (UMI) may be more prevalent than previously suspected. Although several population studies have described the prevalence of UMI based on ECG findings, this method has limited sensitivity.

Peripheral artery disease: often silent, sometimes deadly, potentially preventable

Better attention to four common health factors—smoking, diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol—could go a long way to preventing a stealth condition known as peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Better attention to four common health factors could go a long way to preventing a stealth condition known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). That's the upshot of a Harvard-based study published today in JAMA. PAD usually refers to blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the legs and other b...

Should You Take Medicines If You Have Prehypertension?

A person’s blood pressure is measured by 2 readings, systolic (top reading) and diastolic (bottom reading). For instance, a person’s blood pressure is considered normal if the blood pressure readings stay below 120/80 mm Hg. When the readings are persistently at 140/90 mm Hg or higher, this person is said to have hypertension, or more commonly known as high blood pressure.

In 2002, heart disease statistics show that 696,947 people died of heart disease (51% were women). This was 29% of all U.S. deaths. In 2006, heart disease is projected to cost more than $258 billion, including health care services, medications, and lost productivity.

Post-Op Reflection: Grateful and Going Places
Living fuller a year after heart surgery

Exactly one year ago, I flew to Cleveland from Nashville and put my heart into your hands. You asked me to let you know about my progress and recovery; at my one year anniversary of heart repair, I believe it is appropriate to say that my heart and my health have never been better.

Save your healthful eating habits by foiling holiday food pushers

Food can be nourishing, comforting, a source of pleasure or a celebration centerpiece. It also can be a catalyst for awkward feelings when someone tries to foist food on us that we're not hungry for or that we simply don't wish to eat.

http://seattletimes.com/html/health/2019510501_healthdennett28.html?syndication=rss

Nutrition columnist Carrie Dennett explains how food pushers lurk year-round, but food-centered holidays encourage them. Knowing how to deflect food pushers graciously is a skill worth cultivating.
