Common Questions and Answers about Cdc heart disease and stroke prevention program
stroke
I'm a 50 year old male with a family history of heart disease and stroke and am trying to prevent it if possible. I exercise daily and maintain a healthy diet. Will this be good enough in the long run? I tend to worry about it too much because of the problems my parents had but I think my numbers are good. BP runs about 115/65 on average and my total cholesterol is about 100, HDL 45. My glucose is about 85 so hopefully this will keep me out of trouble.
I have found some excellent information and advice in Arthur Agatston's book, "The South Beach Heart Program." Agatston is the author of "The South Beach Diet, and he is also a renown cardiologist. He writes about "aggressive prevention" of heart disease and relates that he rarely sees heart attacks among his patients who follow his program--even though they come to him with heart problems.
RE: Today's new discovery
William Reeves, principal investigator for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s CFS public health research programme, says the findings are "unexpected and surprising" and that it is "almost unheard of to find an association of this magnitude between an infectious agent and a well-defined chronic disease, much less an illness like CFS".

He is 70 years old with blood work and blood pressure of a much younger man. When you take coumadin to help prevent a stroke then learn that taking it could also cause a stroke-that's kind of scary. My husband also started taking cod liver oil daily which we read keeps those arteries nice and slippery making it hard for clots to form. He also takes bunches of different vitamins. Thanks also for the heads up about a physicians "Standard of Care" rules.
Investigators looked at the relationship between saturated fat intake and coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Their controversial conclusion: “There is insufficient evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies to conclude that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- In a story April 17 about an HIV outbreak in southern Indiana, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says between 50 percent and 90 percent of people with hepatitis C are also infected with HIV.

She went to the cardiologist because of lack of energy and shortness of breath. He put her on the treadmill and her heart rate actually decreased. He seemed concerned and is sending her to another cardiologist. What could be the possible reasons for the decrease in heart rate with exercise? Is this a sign of heart disease?
