Chiropractic Technique Reduces Blood Pressure

A particular chiropractic adjustment has been shown to significantly improve high blood pressure, according to recent research. "This procedure has the effect of not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination," said study leader George Bakris, a medical doctor who is director of the University of Chicago hypertension center. "And it seems to be adverse-event free. We saw no side effects and no problems."

What is the Polypill?

Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

What is Coronary Artery Disease?

Dr. Valentin Fuster, one of the world's leading cardiologists, discusses the basics of coronary heart disease. Dr. Fuster than describes the symptoms of a heart attack and how to differentiate these symptoms from other conditions. Most importantly, he urges viewers to pay attention to these symptoms and the importance of getting medical treatment as soon as possible, even if one has the least suspicion of a coronary incident. Getting treatment in the first hour or two can minimize damage to heart muscle.

What is Peripheral Arterial Disease?

Dr. Sattesh Babu of Vascular Associates of Westchester discusses Peripheral Arterial Disease, who is at risk, why it is important to be screened and current treatments. Pad is essentially a blockage of the arteries in the lower extremities. That is what we mean by peripheral arteries -- leg arteries blocked by hardening of the arteries, buildup of cholesterol, plaque and calcium. This in part is a process of aging, but certainly also brought on by smoking. Diabetes is another risk factor, as is hypertension.

What is Carotid Stenosis?

Lupus Awareness

October is lupus awareness month. It’s a disease that affects predominantly women, and many aren’t aware of it even when they do have it. Lupus affects perhaps 1.5 million Americans, it hits women compared to men in a 9 to 1 ratio, and it affects the African American population in particular. The problem: many women—especially those 18 to 24, those most likely to get it-- don’t know anything about this disease, its signs or symptoms.

Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth

The fattening of America is so out there, so obvious, the question has become how do we get the message that we need to reverse the trend? Perhaps, the message is sinking in, at least among women. New research released by the CDC shows, among women, no significant increase in obesity was observed between 1999 and 2004…roughly a third of females remain obese

Depression and Heart Attacks

If you think your state of mind can’t kill you, listen to this one. A new study shows being depressed can increase your risk of suddenly dropping dead by a cardiac arrest. Talk about a new marketing approach for psychologists: its been long known that depression is associated with heart disease in general. But this latest study shows that not only heart attacks, which dont necessarily kill you, but also cardiac arrest, when the heart suddenly stops beating, is strongly associated with depression.

Beta Blockers Blasted

A popular class of blood pressure medicines has been for the most part dissed in a major medical journal, prompting questions as to whether patient should switch from the treatment they’re currently taking. For three decades now, beta-blockers have been an important treatment for high blood pressure. However, there have been several studies that have questioned their effectiveness, and this latest one makes it clear that this once-favorite group of blood pressure medicines is rapidly falling out of favor.

Blood Pressure Control Disparity

There is a concerning report tonight, and a bit of a wake-up call to women and blacks, and especially black women, that they are being short-changed when it comes to being treated for high blood pressure. You might be on medicine, but are your numbers where they should be? At first it sounds like we’re making great progress in treating high blood pressure in blacks and women; but then, when you look at the fine print, you realize, yes these individuals are getting treated, but the treatment is far from adequate.

It is the largest artery in the body and plays a critical role in the circulation of blood flow, transporting oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body. When tears occur in the lining of the aorta they are called as dissections, while weakenings in the aortic wall are called aneurysms.
