Prevention of Heart Disease
Slide 2-

What is Heart Disease? Heart : The most hard-working muscle of our body – pumps 4-5 liters of blood every minute during rest Supplies nutrients and oxygen rich blood to all body parts, including itself Coronary arteries surrounding the heart keep it nourished with blood
Slide 3-

What is Atherosclerosis what is coronary artery disease? Over time, fatty deposits called plaque build up within the artery walls. The artery becomes narrow. This is atherosclerosis When this occurs in the coronary arteries, heart does not get sufficient blood, the condition is called coronary artery disease, or coronary heart disease
Slide 4-

Myth : fat deposits at old age! It starts from 2 years of age Foam Cells Fatty Streak Intermediate Lesion Atheroma Fibrous Plaque Complicated Lesion/ Rupture Adapted from Pepine CJ. Am J Cardio. 1998;82(suppl 104). From First Decade From Third Decade From Fourth Decade
Slide 5-

Are Other organs Affected? Ischemic Stroke Peripheral Vascular Disease Coronary Heart Disease Angina MI (Heart Attack) Sudden Cardiac Death
Slide 6-

What are the symptoms of Coronary artery disease? No symptoms for long period Chest pain for short period on exertion also known as Angina or minor heart attack Myocardial Infarction or major heart attack-Severe chest pain, death of heart muscle, heart failure, irregular heart beats Sudden Death
Slide 7-

How Big is the Problem ? No. 1 killer disease worldwide 12 Million deaths annually During last 30 years large declines in developed countries -rising health awareness and government programmes Alarming increase in developing countries especially India
Slide 8-

Why Me ? Genetic predisposition Poor handling of fats and metabolic syndrome Diabetes, obesity, high BP, Coronary artery disease Environmental insults Urbanization Sudden change in lifestyle
Slide 9-

What Increases Risk? You can’t help it ! Age: Men > 45; Women > 55 Sex Race Family History You can !! High Cholesterol Smoking High Blood Pressure Diabetes Obesity Alcohol Physical Inactivity
Slide 10-

Cholesterol ( A type of fat) Everybody needs cholesterol, it serves a vital function in the body. It circulates in the blood. Too much cholesterol can deposit in the arteries in the form of plaque and block them No symptoms till heart attack
Slide 11-

Where does it come from ? Two sources of cholesterol: Food & made in your body Food sources: All foods containing animal fat and meat products 65% 35%
Slide 12-

Good vs. BAD Cholesterol LDL cholesterol is known as bad cholesterol. It has a tendency to increase risk of heart disease LDL cholesterol is a major component of the plaque that clogs arteries HDL cholesterol is known as the good cholesterol. Higher in women, increases with exercise HDL cholesterol helps carry some of the bad cholesterol out of arteries.
Slide 13-

Obesity People who are overweight (10-30 % more than their normal body weight) Obese have 2 to 6 times the risk of developing heart disease Normal Waist-Hip Ratio < 0.85 for women; < 0.95 for men Pears or apples?
Slide 14-

Pears and Apples Apple-shaped paunch store body fat around the abdomen and chest, surrounding internal organs Pear-shaped paunch store fat on the hips and thighs, just below the surface of the skin. Apple- shaped are at a higher risk
Slide 15-

Physical Inactivity Every morning my brain tells me to exercise… ….. and my body laughs at the idea
Slide 16-

Cigarette Smoking Increases blood pressure Decreases HDL Damages arteries and blood cells Increases heart attacks Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, and 200 of these chemicals are poisonous
Slide 17-

Cigarette Smoking If you think YOU are smoking the cigarette, you are mistaken… It’s the other way round !
Slide 18-

Alcohol Consumption In small amounts it is beneficial: 1-2 drinks In large amounts it adds fat and calories & raises BP! 4 drinks per day. You end up with gastroenterologist instead of cardiologist This is a very fine line! Finer for women as they are at higher risk
Slide 19-

Diabetes At any given cholesterol level, diabetic persons have a 2 or 3 x higher risk of heart attack or stroke A diabetic is more likely to die of a heart attack than a non-diabetic ~80% Diabetics die from heart disease Risk of sudden death from a heart attack for a diabetic is the same as that of someone who has already had a heart attack.
Slide 20-

Risk operates across a continuum - no clear-cut line (Blood Pressure; Cholesterol; overweight; Smoking) The risk is multiplicative when many risk factors co- exist; risk factors often cluster together Majority of events arise in individuals with modest elevations of many risk factors than from marked elevation of a single risk factor Interactions of Risk Factors
Slide 21-

Misfortunes always come in by a door that has been left open for them. Wise proverb
Slide 22-

Everyday you make choices to try to help protect yourself and your family. In fact, protecting yourself has become second nature—you just do it. But do you know what you can do to help protect yourself from this number 1 cause of death- Heart Disease?
Slide 23-

For my car, I want the best mechanic. But for my own body, I follow hearsay and advice from friends, kitty party, local quacks…. Just anyone And decide for the worst
Slide 24-

Creative strategies do not work ! Never had a test or retest Never been to Doctor ! I hate them Never take medicines! My BP is normal, so stopped meds! Miracle men and Miracle Medicines! So many of them I am my own doctor! No fees too
Slide 25-

Rule # 4 Know your Number! Desirable numbers Total cholesterol < 200; LDL < 100 HDL > 40 triglycerides < 200 Get the levels tested routinely and keep them under control The only thing worse than finding out that you have one of these conditions is…….NOT finding out that you have it!! And that’s not your Mobile Number!
Slide 37-

10% reduction of blood cholesterol produces 20-30% decline in CHD deaths Benefits of reducing cholesterol All Adults >20 yrs must get tested- if normal test again after 5 years, if elevated, work towards normalizing the levels with lifestyle modification and drugs as needed
Slide 38-

Controlling Blood Pressure Adults should have their blood pressure checked at least once every two years, as there are no symptoms to tell if you have high blood pressure Optimal levels : 120 /80 mm Hg If high Modify your lifestyle – Diet, Weight, Exercise, Salt restriction Adhere to the prescribed medication without fail, to decrease chances of getting heart disease – Do not stop your medicines without consulting your doctor, even if the blood pressure becomes normal
