The Number One Cause Of Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death and disability in the United States among adults. More than one-half of all deaths were caused by heart disease, cancer or

Although the term cardiovascular disease refers to a disorder of the cardiovascular system, it is usually associated with atherosclerosis, also known as arterial disease. It is considered the leading cause of deaths in the world, taking 17.1 million lives a year. There are only a few factors that are non-modifiable, these being the persons age, gender, family history and their race and ethnicity. Although there are non-modifiable risk factors, there are multiple multiple risk factors that are modifiable that anyone can use to prevent getting any type of cardiovascular disease. These people just need to have the motivation to be able to change themselves and their lifestyles in order to better

Cardiovascular disease is a substantial concern and has emerged as one of the leading health issues. In examining cardiovascular disease, its incidence is astounding. Each year approximately one million men and women die, averaging one death every thirty three seconds (Heart, 2013).The death rate for cardiovascular issues such as myocardial infarction and CHF claim more lives than cancer and Aids combined. Heart disease will be the number one cause of death by the

Heart disease is known widely all over the world. It is the number one cause of death in the United States, especially in the state of Oklahoma. Even though America is counted as one of the most developed countries in the world, it is still facing an issue of finding a cure for these deadly diseases. However there can be solutions that can be implemented and used. Including raising taxes on unhealthy food and building sidewalks and tracks. In Oklahoma, the top causes of death are heart diseases and strokes (Heart Disease and Strokes). It is Oklahoma’s leading killer for both men and women, resulting in more than 9,000 deaths in 2012 (Understanding Heart Disease). Some of these heart diseases are Coronary Artery Disease, which is narrowing

Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease (CVD), is the leading cause of death in the world (World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). A depressing number of Americans are diagnosed with heart disease every year at 11.5% (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] 2016a). With 1 in every 4 deaths being from heart disease, the national age adjusted death rate of 167 and over half of the deaths are from men, we can see that heart disease is a serious problem (CDC, 2016b; CDC, 2016c). Oklahoma is no exception, with a CVD related death rate of 228.1 (CDC, 2016d). Community and individuals are dependent upon the demographics and qualities of that community to determine their health. Currently, Oklahoma faces a number of issues that affect overall health, including cardiovascular health of the entire state and the included communities. Therefore, this paper will analyze CVD statistics in Oklahoma, compare data and demographic features to Minnesota, and discuss lifestyle risks related to Healthy People 2020.

Whether it is arteriosclerosis, congestive heart failure, broken heart syndrome, coronary microvasculature disease, or coronary heart disease, the National Institute of Health reports that "heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S.[and] also a major cause of disability." The good news is that there are things that can be done to lessen the chance of having a heart disease-related incident.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of mortality worldwide, especially in developed countries. But they are also largely preventable, and many studies have tried to clarify the related risk factors, and what could be done to avoid them.

The highest leading cause of death for men and women within the United States is heart disease. The number of deaths for heart disease is 611,105; this is more than half of a million lives being claimed by heart disease. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Leading Causes of Death). This disease tends to be preventable, even though it’s the highest cause of death. In order to prevent one self from having a heart disease, individuals should take the right precautions throughout their everyday lives to reduce the risk of contracting different types of heart diseases; one of the best ways to prevent heart diseases is to engage in exercise. Heart disease involves the blood vessels becoming narrow in the body, which causes restriction

According to the “(CDC) Center of Disease Control heart disease is the number one leading cause of death in america. If you have heart disease then you have a higher chance of cardiac arrest or a heart attack.”

Introduction According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), many chronic illnesses in America affects more than 117 million people, in which, 7 out of 10 deaths occur (“Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion | CDC,” 2018). This demonstrates the significance of health concerns in the USA. Both chronic and acute illnesses are serious in nature which can lead to mortality that has a negative effect on the country. Cardiovascular diseases are a part of the chronic and acute illnesses that causes an adverse impact.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one leading cause of death in the United States of America affecting eighty one million Americans every day; taking a life every thirty eight seconds which is equal to “two thousand three hundred Americans every day” (book, p. 414). The research shows that women are more at risk of having a heart attack than men. “Each year about 425,000 women have a stroke, that is, 55,000 more than men” (Heart Attack and Stroke: Men vs. Women, p. 7). Indeed, Heart attack is known to kill 1 of every 4 women in the country. (Women and Heart Disease Fact Sheet). “Cardiovascular disease claims more lives each year than the next four leading causes of death combined (cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents and diabetes)” (Donatelle, p. 454) Still, for many women it is unknown that they actually have a higher risk than men to experience a heart disease. (Wolf, Miller, Ko, p. 405). This happens for many reasons, education level, social status, age and racial or ethnic differences.

Americans are neglecting the top killer in our society, and each year this killer claims hundreds of thousands of more lives. This killer is not terrorism, but rather a completely preventable disease: heart disease. The epidemic is so serious that more than 1/3 of the adult population has some form of heart disease and “if all deaths from major [cardiovascular disease] were eliminated, life expectancy in the United States would increase by about 7 years” (Hoeger 384). As a society and as individuals, we need to fight back and lower the rate of heart disease. The best way to combat America’s top killer is to educate ourselves about heart disease and use exercise and lifestyle changes to lower our risk.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the CDC, “Heart disease is the is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women.” The American Heart Association, or the AHA, states that heart disease (and other cardiovascular diseases) kills more Americans annually than all cancers, including Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease, combined. Another shocking statistic, presented by the American Heart Association, states that

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

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
