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.

When the blood vessels lose their flexibility, or the muscle surrounding them force their contraction whereby the heart may pump more forcefully to move the same amount of blood through the narrowed vessels into the capillaries and thereby increasing the blood pressure. It is usually detected by a routine blood pressure test and in view of that, it is advisable to regularly go for routine blood pressure test. Pregnancy and use of oral contraceptives can also lead to high blood pressure. Use of oral contraceptives especially by overweight ladies can lead to high blood pressure.

Smoking and heart disease Smoking is also a prime risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. Nicotine contracts the blood vessels and do release hormones that raise the blood pressure. Both effects could have an adverse effect on the heart. Smokers have distinctly higher levels of carbon (11) oxide in their blood than non-smokers. Remember that smoking darkens the lungs and heart making it to overwork. When you smoke, your heart has to work harder to pump blood through your blood vessels which had become smaller. 4.
