Patients suffering from major depression are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, but treating these patients with medication can greatly reduce the risk, according to new findings by University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers. They specifically studied the stress-hemoconcentration, which is a blood chemistry work-up that includes a blood cell count, hematocrit values, h

Greek scientists have proved, that siesta protects from cardiovascular diseases. They have found, that 30 minutes of sleep during the daytime at least three times a week reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by 37%. The positive effect of siesta is associated with the reduction of the stress hormones level as well as nervous tension after sleep in daytime. The assumption of the scientists is proved by the results of the large-scale study – the most significant risk reduction is found in working men, who suffer from chronic stress more often than others. Anyway siesta is also highly recommended for women to rest from daily stress. Besides, sleep has been a proved and a very effective stress managment technique for lots of women.

HDL cholesterol is the high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Lipoproteins are the combination of lipids (fats) and proteins. High lipoproteins carry about 30% of the cholesterol from tissues of the body to liver. HDL will remove cholesterol from the atheroma in the arteries. Then this cholesterol is transported to the liver for reutilization or for [...]

The function of human’s heart is to pump the blood through the body’s circulatory system. The walls of the heart have their own blood vessels. There are two types of blood vessels: Arteries are the blood vessels that deliver the oxygen and nutrients (include cholesterol). Veins are the blood vessels that carry waste and carbon dioxide away. A healthy artery is the one which carries the blood containing oxygen and nutrients smoothly like a freeway. When one has too much cholesterol in their blood steam, the excess cholesterol will start to form a fatty deposit within the arteries wall. This fatty deposit is called Plague. If one does not lower their cholesterol level then this plague will still built up within the arteries wall. If this plaque still continue to build up then

As the general rule, the lower your cholesterol level, the lower possibility you’re going to have a cardiovascular disease. Couple of things you could do to prevent cardiovascular disease would be: Quit Smoking as smoking can put your risk of heart attack or stroke doubleAvoid Saturated Fat in your diet. As saturated fat put more cholesterol into your blood vessel Include lots and lots of fruit, fish and vegetables in your dietControl your blood pressureMaintain a healthy Weight and do not be OverweightStay active. Exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday. However there are things that out of your control that can increase your possibility to have cardiovascular disease that you should be put into some consideration for example: Genetic Factor - if

The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart, arteries, veins, and lymphatics, which transport life-supporting oxygen and nutrients to cells, remove metabolic waste products, and carry hormones from one part of the body to another.Myocardial function• Increase in oxygen demand must be met by increase in oxygen supply.• Blood normally flows in one direction across heart valves.• Pressure gradient causes the valves to open and close.

The effect people will have to their health when they do not lower their cholesterol level would be Cardiovascular disease. The medical term Cardiovascular disease or also known as CVD is a term used to describes various diseases that effect the heart and blood vessels. The most commonly affected blood vessels are the one that go to the eyes, legs, kidneys, heart or brain. However, as the matter of the fact, any blood vessels in the body can be affected. Some most common of the cardiovascular disease which cholesterol related are as the following; • Heart Attack - it happens when the flow of the blood to the heart is interrupted or it is blocked • Stroke - it happens when the flow of the blood to the brain is interrupted or it is blocked • Angina (Chest pain) - it happens whe

When I think back to medical school, I can recall a professor mentioning that gout used to be called, "the disease of kings." The reason that it was described as such, is that some of the risk factors for gout include the consumption of too much alcohol and meat. Simply think of a king feasting on steak and imbibing on red wine. Though gout most commonly affects the large toe with symptoms including sharp pain, redness, swelling, and tenderness, it may also affect other joints including your foot, ankle, or knee. In addition, to the traditional concern over joint damage that may be caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in your joints that causes the symptoms of gout, new research suggests that there may be additional consequences of gout. A very recent study published in the journal, Angiology, highlights the association between gout, uric acid, and peripheral artery disease (PAD). In particular, the study authors concluded that a self reported history of gout is associa

TUESDAY October 16, 2007 (Foodconsumer.org) -- Eating garlic helps lower high blood pressure and protect against cardiovascular disease, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The study by researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) showed the protective effect is determined by the amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produced from garlic compounds when they interact with red blood cells in the body. The UAB researchers found the released H2S led to relaxation of blood vessels, lowering the blood pressure and in rats the resulting H2S caused up to 72 percent relaxation of arteries. For humans, the effective dose is two cloves a day. Early studies have showed that garlic provides protection against a myriad health conditions including diabetes and cancer. The current study by David Kraus, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences and Biology and colleagues was mean

By Barry LovelaceSo, what is cardiovascular exercise, you ask? It is a term we often hear, but not everyone knows just what it means. Cardiovascular exercise is any type of exercise that increases the workload of the heart and lungs. The most common forms of cardio are walking, jogging and running. Another term for cardio exercise is aerobic exercise.So, why is it so important? There are many physical benefits to cardio exercise. They include reduced risk of heart disease, improved heart function, improved cholesterol levels and reduced risk of osteoporosis. Those are some pretty impressive benefits if you ask me. To get the benefits previously mentioned from your cardio workout, it is important for you to sustain your workout for at least 20 minutes with 30 being ideal and do 3 to 4 sessions a week.Obviously, it is also important for you to challenge yourself. A good cardio workout should definitely elevate your heart rate. One easy way to test if you are working hard enough is the ta
