Expert Author: Karl L Why hasn't this story about heart disease been told before? Once it has been told, why are not more people shouting in outrage at the doctors? It has been told, but it was hard to hear! The most likely reason you didn't hear it is because you have depended on your doctor for new medical information and your doctor so firmly believes the lies he has been told that he had no attention out in the market-place of ideas, looking for alternatives to drugs and surgery for heart problems. Expert Author: Karl L Your flat world is made up of doctors and drug companies who tell you that you need this surgery or that drug to cure your ailments. You are bombarded with ads and non-commercial messages about the care of your body and the foods you should eat. Expert Author: Priya Bora Ten years ago, medical tourism was hardly large enough to be noticed but nowadays Medical Tourism is fast becoming a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry, whereby people from world over visit India for their medical and relaxation needs. Most common treatments are heart surgery, knee transplant, cosmetic surgery and dental care. Expert Author: Tauqeer Hassan People living under a same roof, sharing their good and bad times with each other, love, affection, care and attachment all this make a one complete family. A family is a unit and the members of the family are like a part of each other, one feels pain, every other member feels it too regardless of the age difference. Younger or older they are so linked with each other that even a small problem can disturb the entire family. Expert Author: Hugh J. Lara As everyone knows, cholesterol as well as triglycerides is lipid forms as well as fats that are transported through the bloodstream to help the body perform its proper functions. As a matter of fact, without cholesterol the body would not be able to build cell membranes. Expert Author: Priya B The heart muscle depends on a regular and optimum supply of oxygen to function properly. In turn, it pumps blood throughout the body. The oxygen supply to the heart is completed with the help of a system of coronary arteries.The blood flowing through the coronary arteries carries oxygen to the heart muscles. Expert Author: Priya B Heart and It's function The heart has four chambers.The two lower pumping chambers of the heart which are known as the ventricles, and the two upper filling chambers which are known as the atria. In normal blood circulation, blood that returns from the body have low percentage of oxygen flows to the right-side filling chamber called the right atrium. Expert Author: Eloisa Roberts A heart attack occurs when the blood flowing towards a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood is not restored quickly, that heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and dies. This is a serious condition that affects millions of people in the world. This is why it's important to know how to recognize a heart attack when you see one. Expert Author: Eloisa Roberts One of the leading causes of heart disease is high cholesterol levels. It is present in the foods we eat but the ones to be wary about are foods that contain saturated fat. These bad fats contribute to the building up of plaque along the artery walls which can result to a heart attack in the long run. Expert Author: Jill Smi Experts are outraged over the fact that the U.S. Government does not track Heart Diseases. American Heart Association feels that since heart failure is the number one killer amongst men and women that it should concern the government since it does concern the public health. Our government should track national rates of heart disease and stroke to help cut the incidences of these prime causes of death. Expert Author: Jill Smi There is no cure for congestive heart failure, but there are things that you can do to help prolong your life and protect your heart from farther damage. Treatment is a matter of changing your lifestyle and drug therapy, which will change your quality of life. The medical field improvement over the past twenty years has grown in leaps and bounds. Lifestyle changes are the same quit smoking, losing excess weight, drinking less alcohol, and eating healthy low saturated fat and low salt foods. Then do not forget to exercise which is helpful for most patients. Expert Author: Jill Smi Medical research is a never ending fount of information, and its sources are vast. Unfortunately, it may be very difficult for a layman not associated with the medical field to find up to date information pertaining to his disease and treatment options. While doctors are constantly attending conferences as part of their continuing education curriculum, the average Joe is left to sort through a variety of sources in an attempt to find information that is not obsolete. The best choice for this patient is to continue his research in one of the many scientific research journals published. Expert Author: Jill Smi In nature every action spawns a separate and equal reaction. In the field of medicine, the reaction may not always be equal to the action. The performance of a particular treatment in the lab on test animals may not be the same as would be seen in a human subject; this is where the field of translational research comes in. Expert Author: Jill Smi It is common knowledge that heart failure follows another severe form of heart damage; however, until now scientists and doctors have had no way to identify those at risk. New research into genes and gene therapy have made them a potential weapon in the fight against heart failure. Expert Author: John Smi The American College of Cardiology had a meeting to discuss a number of controversial findings on how to treat a patient with congestive heart failure. Not every person is a like therefore; a treatment for one Patient may not work on another one. This has left many Patients scratching their heads over the proper treatment for their cardiovascular condition. The experts have admitted that what works for one heart patient may not work for another one. Expert Author: John Smi A congestive heart can be fatal without the proper treatments. That is why today the government spends a lot of time and resources researching for cures and preventatives. When you suffer from having a congestive heart then the heart is not able to maintain adequate circulation of blood in the tissues of the body or to pump out the venous blood returned to it by venous circulation. It is very important for all patients to understand what their heart is doing so they may take action to prevent any failure by the heart. Expert Author: James Smi Everyone knows that job stress has an obvious negative implication on health, specifically, the cardiovascular system. While various studies have been conducted and validated to establish that job strain increases the risk of a first coronary heart disease, little was known about the connection between stressful jobs and recurrent coronary heart disease. Expert Author: John Smi Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Surprisingly, the number of people who smoke is still very high perhaps due to the little factual information they have about the dangers of tobacco use. Cigarette-smoking is one of the major causes of heart disease and the number of deaths associated with smoking has been consistently on the rise.
