Cardiovascular Disease Is The Number One Leading Cause Death

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States. It is estimated that one in four women die from heart disease every year. Women are at a higher risk for heart disease than men because of a lack of knowledge and information. Women often feel the need to care for others before themselves and neglect their own health needs. As mothers, and sisters, and daughters it is important to protect our health for those that depend on us. Heart disease is preventable through knowledge and awareness and taking precautionary steps.

Another word used to describe a heart attack is myocardial infarction, cardiac infarction and coronary thrombosis. A heart attack is the death of a part of the heart caused by the loss of blood supply. The blood supply is usually gone due to a coronary artery being blocked by a blood clot. When a part of a heart artery breaks a blood clot forms around the piece. This blood clot can block the blood flow through the heart muscle. When the heart muscle needs oxygen it is called ischemia. When damage of a part of the heart muscle happens it’s called a heart attack. During a heart attack damage occurs depending on the size of the area blocked by the blood clot as well as the time between the actual heart attack and the treatment. Even though the heart may be hurt, the rest of the organs work with no problems. However, it will not pump as much blood as it used to in order to supply the same amount of blood to all of the parts of the body.

A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, usually occurs when a blood clot forms inside a coronary artery at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque. The blood clot severely limits or completely cuts off blood flow to part of the heart. In a small percentage of cases, blood flow is cut off when the muscles in the artery wall contract suddenly, constricting the artery. This constriction, called vasospasm, can occur in an artery that is only slightly narrowed by atherosclerosis or even in a healthy artery. Regardless of the cause of a heart attack, the oxygen deprivation is so severe and prolonged that heart muscle cells begin to die for lack of oxygen. About 1.1 million people in the United States have a heart attack every year;

Schneider reviews American Heart Association spokeswomen, Nieca Goldberg. Goldberg warns that heart disease is the greatest threat among women. She stresses that women must be proactive in their own health, because many physicians don’t recognize women’s heart disease is different than men. The main point is that Schneider highlights what Goldberg emphasizes in her article; women should recognize heart disease symptoms. Goldberg suggests women should use the Mediterranean diet, moderate exercise, and stress management. The article mainly focuses on prevention and warning signs. Schneider highly recommended Goldberg’s writing.

It is hard to believe that in a first world country women are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than men because clinical researchers tend to conduct more health studies on men and then release the research to the public claiming that the studies apply to both genders. Sadly, the problem of women not being equally represented as men in clinical studies is a reality in the United States of America and puts women at risk for their health; however the problem can be fixed by creating awareness, incorporating more females in health research, and creating a better, dedicated Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Each of the three solutions is necessary as they would

Heart disease is the top health threat for women in America. More women are affected from heart disease than all cancers combined. Anyone is at risk to develop heart disease; most people believe heart disease is associated with men but more women die from it each year. It is the number one killer of men and women in America. In the August 2015 issue of Woman’s Day Magazine, “The Health Issue You Must Discuss” author, Barbara Brody, is successful in using pathos and logos to convince women to become educated and get the word out about heart disease.

Attention getter: Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in women in the United States. According to The Center for Disease Control (CDC), heart disease claimed more than 292,188 women’s’ lives in 2009, that’s 1 in every 4 female deaths. The National Coalition of Heart Disease states that “A woman dies every 34 seconds.”

Crimmins, Hayward, Ueda Saito and Kim in there journal article give statistical data on heart disease and death in both women and men (2008). This article states “37 percent of men and 27 percent of women over the age 65 report having a heart condition” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Crimmins research addresses the many differences in men with coronary artery disease compared to women with coronary artery disease. The study noted that men have a higher mortality rate from heart disease than do women (Crimmins et al., 2008). This article also notes that “40-50 percent of postmenopausal women will develop heart disease” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Crimmins and colleges noted men develop heart disease 5 to 10 years earlier in life than do women ( 2008). Evidence suggests that women who are hospitalized for cardiovascular issues are less likely to “receive certain types of drugs and diagnostic and treatment procedures” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Low socio-economic status and poor educational levels also have a marked effect on men and women’s knowledge of cardiovascular disease and the timing of when they seek treatment (Hemingway, 2007).

Cardiovascular disease is the world's public health enemy number one, and Coronary atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all cardiovascular diseases, it costs a huge amount of medical and social resources each year and seriously affects the public health and life. With the development of society, the cardiovascular disease in developed and developing countries is the main health issues, so how to accurately distinguish between high-risk groups, and further evaluate the risk stratification and prognosis of the population is extremely important. Our study found that PDW, MPV, and P-LCR changes were positively correlated with coronary heart disease, both for patients with stable or unstable coronary heart disease

Cardiovascular disease in one of the leading causes of death among men and women in the United States and the base cause has been found to be atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by a thickening of an artery wall from a build-up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances. While atherosclerosis is a common condition, with roughly 3 million cases in the US per year, there is currently no treatment or cure and it can remain asymptomatic in patients for years. Since arteries natural enlarge at plaque build-up locations, most patients are not diagnosed until they experience strokes, heart attacks, or blood clots from the restricted blood flow.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Heart tissue engineering holds a great promise for future heart disease therapy by building personalized heart tissues. Generating a bioengineered heart requires engineering of cardiac architecture and appropriate cellular constituents. We decellularized rat hearts by coronary perfusion with detergents, preserved the underlying extracellular matrix (collagen, glycosaminoglycan and elastin content and fibronectin, collagen type II and laminin proteins) and produced decellularized, perusable vascular architecture and competent decellularized valves. Regarding unique effect of bFGF in proliferation and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells

Men are generally at greater risk of cardiovascular disease but that does not mean women are not affected by this deadly disease as well. This topic sparked an interest in me because women should be aware and learn about the risk factors for developing heart disease. Many women are not well informed or proactive in preventing or controlling cardiovascular diseases that may arise in the future due to the choices of today. People have little to no control over some risk factors such as family history and age that can affect women and it is crucial to have precaution before it becomes a problem. There are numerous of ways to diminish the chances but many women do not have access or the correct resources to learn about them. For those who already have a cardiovascular disease, it may be hard to adjust to ways of controlling it or may not know how to properly control it yet. Maybe the way the person is controlling it is not the best option for them and should seek for proper guidance. The problem is really what or where can these women find the proper guidance that they desire, or what exactly is the proper guidance for them. Prevention and control of cardiovascular disease among women should be talked about more. It is important to have the knowledge and protect ourselves from something that can be prevented if we follow the right steps to reduce our chances of cardiovascular disease.

Like any other organs in our body, the heart needs a supply of blood and

The heart is the most essential biological structure in the body system; nobody can live without the heart. The major role of the heart is to pump blood throughout all the organs in the body; blood transported by the heart carries oxygen and nutrients around the body and removes all the dangerous wastes. We need oxygen to breath and nutrient to maintain our health. All muscles in the heart need oxygen to function properly. When there is a restriction of blood flow to the heart, the coronary arteries become blocked or narrow. “The blood clot that causes the heart attack usually forms at the site of rupture of an atherosclerotic, cholesterol plaque on the inner wall of a coronary artery” (Kushner, 2013). We need to protect our heart from damage by keeping the heart healthy. If the heart is damaged, then the damage will happen which can lead to death. Based on what we know, heart attack patient can have a second heart attack after the first one. Most of people do not know that the early Egyptian who had discovered heart attack and disease. Nowadays, we learn about heart attack by watching television, research on the internet, or talk to another person who has a heart attack.

In the article, Rubanyi begins by explaining to the reader the important function of the human heart. The author clarifies that the heart is the most important organ in the human body that pumps oxygen rich blood to the entire body via the circulatory system. In fact, the heart beats about 100,000 times, and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood in a single day through a network of blood vessels. However, the circulation of blood flow can be disrupted through a blockage caused by a blood clot or
