Heart Assault Research Paper

How quickly the sufferer was transported to a hospital was heavily depended on the education of the people surrounding them at the time. In Mr. Miele’s case, he was accompanied by friends who immediately recognized the symptoms of a heart attack, and were able determine that calling an ambulance was the smartest thing to do. In Ms. Gora’s case, she was not aware she was having a heart attack, and initially refused to allow her husband to call an ambulance out of fear that it would cost too much, and hoping that her symptoms would go away. Lack of education is not limited to a person’s individual level of education. The level to which doctors educate their patients about what’s going on with their body, or what their different treatment options are, also effects the aftermath of a heart

Based in Australia, it identifies several of the challenges that affect the health of women based on public health. The policy targets chronic diseases like heart diseases. It targets women because of the influence that they have in the society. It deals with the prevention of chronic illness, healthy aging, reproductive and sexual welfare, mental health and well-being. The policy points out overall general points concerning heart disease. It recognizes it as the leading killer and an enormous burden on women. Age is a risk factor that the heart and stroke association highlights. 82 percent of deaths from cardiovascular diseases occur among people aged 65 and above. Although, more men, than women, stand higher risks of heart disease, the risk increases in women once they hit menopause. Other risky activities that these policies indicate are the lack of physical exercise, the use of tobacco and a poor diet. Morris Jerry was the first to conduct a study of cardiovascular disease, in 1949, and used occupational health data. It gave a basis for research on more information about cardiovascular

Relevance: Unfortunately, the statistical possibilities I gave you are very possible and affect all of us as college students because heart attack and stroke among adults in their twenties have risen by almost a third in just the past 20 years and almost all cases are preventable by employing healthy choices that begin during the college years.

Heart disease, also known cardiovascular disease, is an illness like none other; it takes an unfortunate toll on the body and causes many malfunctions. People who deal with this disorder suffer from problems such as heart attacks, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and more. Although heart disease is a major concern for many people, it is not as prevalent for those in certain parts of the world. This paper compares the rates of heart disease in the United States versus those in Japan. After studying this disease and how it affects people around the world, it is clear that Americans have much higher rates of heart disease than the Japanese, mainly because of risk factors, like poor diets and lack of exercise. By studying the history of heart disease in both countries, the implications of the disorder, and different populations impacted, it is clear that heart disease is a major epidemic around the world. The evidence that reports the differences of heart disease rates between America and Japan is astounding.

In a world where heart disease was a leading cause of death, many scientists struck an interest with the town of Roseto, which had an inexplicable resistance to heart disease. Specifically a physician named Stewart Wolf. Wolf went on to study the town of the Roseto to find out why these people aren’t suffering from the heart disease epidemic. He looked everywhere until he realized it was their diets, exercise, or even the location of the town, it was the community that gave them resistance to the diseases. Malcolm Gladwell establishes the idea of the positive effects of a strong community through the town of Roseto. He says that although diet and exercise may be important to maintaining good health, a sense of community can be just as effective to the end goal of success, an idea that can be applied to many fields, not just medicine. Malcolm Gladwell goes on to say, “The values of the world we inhabit and the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are.” Gladwell also pushes the idea that the environment we surround ourselves in makes a huge difference on who you are and can even affect something as big as your health.

In the 1960’s the U.S. labor force grow at the rate of 1.7 percent annually and continue to grow into the 70’s as the baby boomer (those born between 1946-1964 generation continued to reach adulthood and enter the workforce. During this same period women began to enter the workforce as never seen before causing the labor force to grow at a rate of 2.6 percent annually. One might not see this as a health issue, but with women joining the workforce men began to feel the pressure, causing health complication. Women on the other hand who at one time lived the life of a care free house wife, but now working in corporate America; has started to feel stress now heart attacks are the number one killer of the American female species.

1.) The Framingham Heart Study was a “long-term observational Study” that succeeded so incredibly well over the past half century, because it made its participants feel as if they were collectively dedicated toward an end bigger than themselves (Brink and Levy 23). This entire trust and personal-investment-mobilizations effort had been completely intentional and calculated as a purposeful construction in order to “[transform] a community that might resist medical intrusion to one that would take pride in the Study” (Brink and Levy 58). We see, very notably also, that Meador’s success in attracting attention was owed to his skill for mobilizing social influence (that which we refer to as being a natural leadership skill or charisma) in order

Coronary Artery Disease is a degenerative disease that is found prevalent among Indian Americans. According to the US Census, the Indian American population has grown by 68%, and 85% of South Asians living in America are from India (2010 census). Studies show that heart disease in Indian Americans is detected 5-10 years earlier in Indian Americans than all other nationalities. They also show that Indo Americans are 3-4 times more likely at risk for coronary artery disease than white Americans, six times higher than Chinese, and 20 times higher than Japanese (CADI research foundation, 2012). It’s interesting to note that while many Indo Americans are lifelong vegetarians because of their faith and culture, the heart disease rate is still at a high.

In a diet you want to avoid saturated fats, trans fats, and sodium. You would want to eat more fruit, vegetables whole grains that are fiber rich. Even fish, nuts, seeds, lean meats, low fat dairy foods are good to prevent heart disease. Physical activity is also a great way to help prevent heart disease. Any activity can help jogging, running, even walking just a hour and fifteen minutes a week. Others preventions can be to to go to the doctor regularly and get wellness exams, talking to your doctor about your diet and lifestyle. Checking your blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol are great ways to treat and to prevent heart disease. Avoiding smoking and secondhand smoking is also a good way to prevent heart disease. If your have a family make more Heart health family activities, such as going to park and riding bikes, walking, or even walking your dog. You could also make a garden and plant fruit trees with heart healthy produce. Staying away from stress will also help with heart disease and preventing heart disease. Once you get into your middle ages it is good to make sure you keep your blood sugar levels within normal levels. As you age you you should consider learning about the warning signs of A heart attack."How to Help Prevent Heart Disease - At Any

The American Heart Association (AHA) states that 80 percent of the cases of heart disease and strokes are preventable. Individuals can get heart healthy by following the seven key behavior and health factor recommendations addressed in their Life’s Simple 7® campaign.

     Heart attack occurs when a blood clot suddenly and completely blocks a diseased coronary artery, resulting in the death of the heart muscle cells supplied by that artery. Coronary and Coronary Thrombosis 2 are terms that can refer to a heart attack. Another term, Acute Myocardial Infarction 2, means death of heart muscle due to an inadequate blood supply.

The disease itself creates heart failure and irregular heartbeats leading to Atherosclerosis which is Artery walls thicken largely. There are little treatments to efficiently cure or solve the complex heart disease. The disease has taken many lives away as it progresses in the world. There has been a total of 8.9 million deaths recorded to be the highest in the last years. The disease causes risk more than any other disease ever recorded to affect people’s lives.

Have you ever wondered how much a lifestyle can affect someone’s heart? How about what habits can increase the chance of getting heart disease? Heart disease is very deadly and more people in the United States have it than many may think. Though many people do not know about heart disease, they should educate themselves on the types, the symptoms, and the prevention of the disease in order to maximize their longevity.

Most people do not, however, die of their first heart attack. Men are far more likely to experience heart attacks, and on average their first will be at age 65, while a woman’s will be at age 72, 7 years apart. It was suggested in multiple articles that the reason men in the western world seem to be at such a disadvantage here is because of the macho man culture they’re surrounded by, which suggest that to be “real” men they must partake in what I will refer to as macho man activities such as smoking, drinking, and high stress jobs, all contributors to the likelihood of heart disease. Most macho man activities stem from a culturally fueled propensity for risk taking. Men may not know that they’re taking risks; risks are “redefined and minimized” through discourse in the social sphere surrounding them, which discourages open conversation about health and wellness as this is a typically feminine activity which can uncover perceived weaknesses. Although these behaviours, resulting from a more invulnerable mindset, also include activities such as drug use, unquestioned unsafe sex, and drunk driving do not necessarily lead to heart disease, they can directly lead to higher mortality

It is important that we do everything we can to keep our heart healthy. In America, heart disease is the greatest cause of death. An estimate of 64 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. Creating simple changes in your life can prevent cardiovascular problems and assist in living a
