Fact

or Fantasy?

Heart disease is a disease of

middle age and older years?


By age 18

30.2% high blood pressure

17.3% high cholesterol

6.5% physician–diagnosed diabetes

30.5% obese

By age 19, 90% have early stages of heart disease

http://www.cdc.gov/HeartDisease/facts.htm

By age 3, children have fatty deposits in their arteries.

By age 12, 70% have developed beginning stages of hardening of the arteries.


Fact or Fantasy?

No Pain No Gain: You need to get sweaty &

out of breath for it to count.


It’s all about activity

Exercise is the only

way to develop

collateral

circulation

in the heart.

Collateral circulation is

created by the tiny arteries that

serve your heart. When the main

vessels of the heart become blocked the tiny

vessels pick up the slack and deliver the

needed oxygen.


Fact or Fantasy?

It’s in my genes,

I can’t avoid it.

Not true! If live your daddy’s life with

smoking, over weight, high blood pressure,

poor eating and no exercise then maybe

but not 100%.

Better idea! Live your life with healthy

habits!


There is more than

one factor that contributes to

Heart Disease.

Uncontrollable

Risk Factors Increasing age

Male sex (gender)

Heredity (including Race)


Controllable Risk Factors

What’s the risk? ↑ Smoking – 3x

↑ Cholesterol – 4x

↑ B/P – 3x

↑ Activity – 20%

↑ Obesity – 2x

↑ Diabetes – 4x

Cigarette smoking

High cholesterol

High blood pressure

Physical inactivity

Overweight /obesity

Diabetes


Fact or Fantasy?

My cholesterol is high because

I have a family history.


Heart Disease “Basics”

Inflammation

Cholesterol

Build-up

Not true!

Cholesterol is important to good

health. A very small percentage of

the population’s high cholesterol is

related to genetics.

The problem with high cholesterol

is it causes inflammation – artery

blocking.


Bad Fats

LDL Cholesterol • Moves the cholesterol towards the heart. This is the

main source of arterial buildup.

Cholesterol

Good Fats HDL Cholesterol

• Carries cholesterol away from the heart & back to the liver where it can be eliminated by the body.

Inflammation Ask your doctor to check - C reactive protein

Rupture of plaque =

Sudden closing off of coronary arteries.

10mg/L

Inflammation

C – reactive protein will be

elevated with inflammation

is present – indicator of

your heart attack risks.


Blood Pressure

The higher the number the harder your heart has to pump

blood through your body.

120/80

Among people with

high blood pressure,

31.6% don't even know they

have it. If your blood pressure is more than

140/80 you are considered borderline

hypertensive.


Fact or Fantasy?

The stress is killing me.


Mayo Clinic Study

“Treating depression and

curbing anger my be nearly as

important for

preventing heart attack as much

as diet and exercise”

Consumer Reports OnHealth 2007

“The new do’s and don’t for protecting your heart”.

Circulation

Increased 22 % during laughter

Decreased 35% during stress
