Do you suffer for a lack of restful sleep? If so, there several things you can do to improve your situation.

• Exercise: Try getting adequate exercise. According to the American Heart Association’s 2013 exercise standards, it is important to schedule in 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise at least three to four times per week.
• Avoid excess caffeine: Avoid excess stimulants, such as caffeine, particularly before bed as they may keep you awake.
• Establish an evening routine: “Have an evening routine of preparing for bed that includes turning off electronic devices and having soothing activities such as a hot shower or bath,” recommends Lundberg. “Drinking chamomile or herbal sleepy-time tea can also be helpful, as can reading, praying or meditating.”

Positive effects of good sleep

The positive effects of a good sleep are immediately evident when we wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Beyond just feeling good, Lundberg explains the solid benefits to our bodies. “The positive effect of sleep is not just on your heart health but also on your stress hormones, your immune system, your breathing, and your mental status,” she says.

“People who get seven to eight hours of sleep have more alertness and better focus. They have less depression and anxiety. Getting a good night’s sleep has a positive impact on your metabolism and weight loss benefits.”

Coronary CTA Should Be the Initial Test in Most Patients With Stable Chest Pain: PRO

The evaluation of adults with stable chest pain concerning for possible coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most commonplace and costly evaluations in all of medicine. Given the number of available, well-studied, and prognostically useful noninvasive tests for CAD, there remains much debate over optimal evaluation pathways to improve clinical and cost outcomes in patients with chest pain. Current US stable ischemic heart disease guidelines favor noninvasive functional testing for myocardial ischemia in most patients, reserving anatomic testing using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for patients without established CAD who have already undergone functional testing (inconclusive results or ongoing symptoms) or are unable to undergo functional testing.¹However, coronary CTA has undergone remarkable technological advancements in safety and image quality that, when paired with results from recent comparative effectiveness trials, has led many to conclude that it should be more broadly performed and serve as the first test in many patients with stable chest pain.² For example, in 2016, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the evidence-based organization that guides healthcare in the United Kingdom, updated its chest pain guideline and made coronary CTA the first test for all patients without established CAD who present with typical or atypical angina or with non-anginal chest pain plus an abnormal resting electrocardiogram (ECG).³Stress imaging studies were recommended in patients with known CAD, and exercise stress ECG testing was not recommended for the diagnosis of CAD due to its low accuracy and high rates of subsequent testing. It was estimated that broad adoption of this strategy would save the UK National Health Service £16 million annually.

Types of Heart Attack: What you need to know

Heart attacks pose a serious health risk and can be life-threatening. They occur when a blockage in the coronary arteries disrupts blood flow to the heart, which can cause permanent damage.

Types of Coronary Artery Diseases which leads to Heart Attack

• ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
• non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)
• coronary artery spasm

What is a Heart Attack?

The coronary arteries carry blood to the heart, allowing it to function. A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when a blockage develops in the coronary arteries and restricts the flow of blood to the heart.

Blockages occur when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up, forming deposits called plaques in blood vessels. These plaques can become damaged over time and may release platelets.
Platelets can cause the blood to clot. They may collect around a plaque, eventually blocking blood flow.

By restricting blood flow, these blockages can damage the heart muscle. The severity of damage will depend on the size of the blockage. When blood is not reaching a significant segment of the heart, the damage will be more extensive.

A cardiac arrest is often mislabelled as a heart attack. However, a cardiac arrest occurs when the heart abruptly stops working.

Types

STEMI

A STEMI heart attack is severe and requires immediate attention.
These attacks occur when the coronary artery is fully blocked, preventing blood from reaching a large area of the heart. This causes progressive damage to the heart muscle, which can eventually stop it from functioning.

NSTEMI

NSTEMI heart attacks occur when the coronary artery is partially blocked and blood flow is severely restricted. While they are less dangerous than STEMI heart attacks, they can cause permanent damage.

Coronary artery spasm

These spasms are also called silent heart attacks or unstable angina. They occur when the arteries connected to the heart contract, preventing or restricting blood flow to the heart.
Symptoms do not cause permanent damage, and they are less severe than those of other types of coronary artery disease.
It is possible to mistake a coronary artery spasm for a minor condition, such as indigestion. However, having a coronary artery spasm can increase the risk of having a more severe heart attack.

Treatment

Regardless of the cause, all heart attacks require immediate medical attention. The treatment used will depend on the type of coronary artery disease.

In most cases, medical professionals will administer immediate treatment before determining the type or severity of the attack. This treatment may involve:

• aspirin to reduce further blood clotting
• oxygen therapy
• nitroglycerin to support blood flow
• efforts to reduce chest pain

Once a doctor has determined the type of heart attack, more treatment is needed to stimulate blood flow. When the underlying coronary artery disease is less severe, this can be done using medication, such as:

• Clot busters, also known as thrombolytic medicines, which help to dissolve the blood clots causing blockages
• Blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants, which prevent further clotting.
• Blood pressure medications, such as ACE inhibitors, which help to maintain healthy blood flow and reduce pressure.
• Statins, which can lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
• Beta-blockers, which can reduce the heart's workload and chest pain.

Recovery

Recovery can vary significantly, depending on the type of heart attack, its severity, and how it was treated.

A person can often return to normal activities within a week. However, when the underlying coronary artery disease was more severe, it may take months to recover from a heart attack.

Following any kind of heart attack, a doctor will often recommend cardiac rehabilitation, which can teach a person to maintain a healthful lifestyle and minimise the risk of another attack. Changes to levels of physical activity and diet may be suggested.

Risk factors

Some people may be more vulnerable to heart attacks. Common risk factors include:

• high blood pressure
• obesity or being overweight
• a poor diet, particularly one high in trans or saturated fats
• low levels of physical activity
• smoking tobacco
• older age
• diabetes or high blood sugar levels
• a family history of heart disease

Prevention

A person can lower their risk of having a heart attack by:

• exercising for at least 150 minutes per week
• reducing stress
• not smoking
• eating a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and oily fish
• maintaining a healthy weight

Cardiology is a branch of solution managing clutters of the heart and also parts of the circulatory framework. The field incorporates medicinal analysis and treatment of inherent heart deserts, coronary corridor malady, valvular coronary illness and electrophysiology. Physicians who specialize in this field of medicine are called cardiologists, a specialty of internal medicine. Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians who spend significant time in cardiology. Medical Practitioner who have practical experience in cardiovascular surgery are called cardiothoracic specialists or heart specialists. In spite of the fact that the cardiovascular framework is inseparably connected to blood, cardiology is moderately unconcerned with hematology and its illnesses. Some undeniable special cases that influence the capacity of the heart would be blood tests (electrolyte aggravations, troponins), diminished oxygen conveying limit (iron deficiency, hypovolemic stun), and coagulopathies.

Cardiac arrhythmias: Expression of connexin 43 in infarct scar cuts cardiac arrhythmias after heart attack

Life-threatening #cardiac_arrhythmias often occur after a #heartattack, as the scar tissue can interfere with the spread of electrical impulses that activate the heart. Scientists have now developed a method to improve electrical transmission in the heart by transferring a single gene, Connexin 43, to cells that form the infarct scar.

The cure for obesity, heart disease, and anxiety? Puppies!

Researchers just discovered a simple way to fight obesity, heart disease, and mental illness – by giving people puppies.

That may sound barking mad. But a new round of medical research shows that dogs, cats, and other four-legged friends can significantly boost people's physical and mental health – to the point where interacting with pets can actually be an effective form of therapy.

Consider how pets could help the 75 million Americans who suffer from high blood pressure, which increases the likelihood of experiencing a heart attack or stroke. In one study of more than 1,500 people aged 60 and over, dog owners had systolic blood pressure that was 3.34 milligrams of mercury lower than that for non-owners. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in a person's blood vessels when his heart beats – the first number in a blood pressure reading.

A difference of just over 3.34 milligrams of mercury may not sound like much. But for each milligram of mercury decline in blood pressure, a person's risk of stroke goes down by 5 percent.
Another analysis examined 30 patients at risk of high blood pressure. Some of the patients adopted dogs right away; others waited. After five months, those who adopted dogs had significantly lower blood pressure than those who did not. When the remaining patients eventually adopted companions, their blood pressure also dropped.

Pet owners are also more likely to exercise regularly. A study conducted by Australian researchers found that dog owners were physically active for an hour more each week than those who didn't have dogs.

My own research aligns with these findings. In a survey of people in Grenada – home to St. George's University, where I teach – my team found that less than 13 percent of pet-owners were obese. By contrast, 50 percent of the people in our sample who did not own pets were obese.

Keeping blood pressure low and staying active is great for the heart. One analysis of 3.4 million people spanning 12 years revealed that those who owned pets had a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who were pet-less.

Research shows that pets also improve people's mental health.

In one Israeli study, scientists deliberately elevated participants' stress levels by telling them that they might have to hold a tarantula. Then, to calm the participants down, researchers gave them either toy rabbits, toy turtles, real rabbits, or real turtles. The toys did nothing to relieve stress. But petting both the hard shell of real turtles and the soft fur of real bunnies calmed participants effectively.

A survey of veterinary school students produced similar results. Investigators asked students to report their stress levels on a scale from one to ten, as well as whether they had a pet at home. Six in ten people who did not own pets reported stress levels of eight or higher; only four in ten pet-owners said that they were similarly stressed.

Another review of 17 studies found that people with mental illnesses – including post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder – derive health benefits from owning pets.

Some hospitals and schools are acting on this research. At Indiana University Health North Hospital, dogs wander the hallways and spend time with patients who request a visit. Jon Goble, president of IU Health North, noted that when patients go in for surgery, "the dog will completely take their mind off what's happening or about to happen."

Virginia Commonwealth University offers therapy dogs to students during finals week. Experts there found that the dogs significantly reduced pre-exam jitters.

All this research exemplifies the interconnection between human health, animal health, and the environment. That interconnection is the foundation of the One Health movement, to which a number of universities, including St. George's, adhere in their teaching and research efforts.
Medical research shows that pets are the perfect antidote to all sorts of illnesses and ailments. It's time to unleash this knowledge across our healthcare system.

Congestive heart failure: What you need to know

Even though it may sound like it, congestive heart failure does not necessarily mean that the heart has failed. However, heart failure is a serious condition where the heart does not pump blood around the body efficiently.

We depend on the pumping action of the heart to deliver nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body. When cells are not nourished adequately, it is not possible for the body to function properly.
If the heart is weakened and cannot supply the cells with sufficient blood, the patient becomes tired and breathless. Everyday activities that were once taken for granted become challenging.
Heart failure is a serious condition, and there is usu
ally no cure. However, with the right treatment, the patient can still lead an enjoyable, meaningful, and productive life.
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, approximately 5.7 million people in the United States have heart failure.

Heart failure, heart attack, and cardiac arrest

Here, we explain some important terms:

• Heart attack - this is death of heart muscle due to the blockage of a coronary artery. The heart muscle dies because it is starved of oxygen (because blood is not getting to it).
• Heart failure - this means the heart muscle cannot pump blood around the body properly. It is not a heart attack.
• Cardiac arrest - this means the heart stops, blood circulation stops, and there is no pulse.

Causes

Heart failure is caused by any conditions that damage the heart muscle. These include:

• Coronary artery disease - the coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with blood. If these are blocked or the flow is reduced, the heart does not receive the blood supply it needs.
• Heart attack - a sudden block of the coronary arteries; this causes scars in the heart's tissues and decreases how effectively it can pump.
• Cardiomyopathy - damage to the heart muscle other than by artery or blood flow problems; for instance caused by drug side effects or infections.
• Conditions that overwork the heart - for instance, valve disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, kidney disease, or heart defects present from birth.

The following are risk factors for congestive heart failure; they may make it more likely:

• Diabetes - especially diabetes type 2.
• Obesity - people who are both obese and have diabetes type 2 have an increased risk.
• Smoking - people who smoke regularly run a significantly higher risk of developing heart failure.
• Anemia - a deficiency of red blood cells.
• Hyperthyroidism - overactive thyroid gland.
• Hypothyroidism - underactive thyroid gland.
• Myocarditis - inflammation of the heart muscle, usually caused by a virus, leading to left-sided heart failure.
• Heart arrhythmias - abnormal heart rhythms, they may cause the heart to beat too fast, creating more work for the heart. Eventually the heart may weaken, leading to heart failure. If heartbeat is too slow not enough blood may get out from the heart to the body, leading to heart failure.
• Atrial fibrillation - an irregular, often rapid heart beat; patients with atrial fibrillation have a higher risk of hospitalization due to heart failure, a study found.
• Emphysema - a chronic disease that makes it hard for the patient to breathe.
• Lupus - the patient's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues.
• Hemochromatosis - a condition where iron accumulates in the tissues.
• Amyloidosis - one or more organ systems in the body accumulate deposits of abnormal proteins.

Symptoms

The following are possible symptoms of heart failure:
Congested lungs - fluid builds up in the lungs and causes shortness of breath even when resting and particularly when lying down. It can also cause a hacking, dry cough.
Fluid retention - because less blood is being pumped to the kidneys, it can cause water retention. This can cause swollen ankles, legs, and abdomen. It can also cause weight gain and increased urination.
Fatigue and dizziness - because less blood is reaching the organs of the body, it can cause feelings of weakness. Because less blood is reaching the brain is can also cause dizziness and confusion.
Irregular and rapid heartbeats - to try and counteract the lack of blood being pumped with each contraction of the heart, the heart might pump more quickly.
Heart failure shares symptoms with other conditions, and if anyone has the symptoms, it does not mean they have heart failure.
However, anyone who experiences more than one of the symptoms should tell their doctor and ask for an evaluation of their heart.
People who have been diagnosed with heart failure should monitor their symptoms carefully and report any sudden changes to their doctor immediately.

Types

There are many different types of heart failure:

Left-sided heart failure

Left-sided heart failure is the most common form of congestive heart failure. The left side of the heart is responsible for pumping blood to the rest of the body. Blood backs up into the lungs as it is not effectively pumped away from the heart. This can cause shortness of breath and fluid buildup.

Right-sided heart failure

The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs where it collects oxygen. Right-side failure is, most often, caused by fluid build-up in the lungs due to left-side failure. Sometimes it can occur due to other conditions, including lung disease.

Diastolic heart failure:

This occurs when the heart muscle is stiffer than normal. Because the heart is stiff, it does not fill up with blood properly; this is known as diastolic dysfunction.
Because the heart does not fill up with blood, it cannot pass as much blood around the body as is necessary. This can occur on either side of the heart.

Systolic heart failure:

Systolic dysfunction describes the heart's inability to pump efficiently after filling with blood. It often occurs if the heart is weak or enlarged. This can occur on either side of the heart.

Diagnosis

Most people will initially see their doctor if they have symptoms. The doctor will discuss the symptoms with the patient. If the doctor suspects heart failure, he will recommend further tests, these may include:

• Blood and urine tests - these will check the patient's blood count and liver, thyroid, and kidney function. The doctor may also want to check the blood for specific chemical markers of heart failure.
• Chest X-ray - an X-ray will show whether the heart is enlarged. It will also show whether there is fluid in the lungs.
• An ECG (electrocardiogram) - this device records the electrical activity and rhythms of the patient's heart. The test may also reveal any damage to the heart from a heart attack. Heart attacks are often the underlying cause of heart failure.
• An echocardiogram - this is an ultrasound scan that checks the pumping action of the patient's heart. The doctor measures the percentage of blood pumped out of the patient's left ventricle (the main pumping chamber) with each heartbeat - this measurement is called the ejection fraction.

The doctor may also carry out the following additional tests:

• Stress test - the aim here is to stress the heart and study it. The patient may have to use a treadmill or exercise machine, or take a medication that stresses the heart.
• Cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) scan - they can measure ejection fraction as well as the heart arteries and valves. They can also determine whether the patient had a heart attack.
• B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) blood test - BNP is released into the blood if the heart is overfilled and struggling to function properly.
• Angiogram (coronary catheterization) - a catheter (thin, flexible tube) is introduced into a blood vessel until it goes through the aorta into the patient's coronary arteries. The catheter usually enters the body at the groin or arm. A dye is injected through the catheter into the arteries. This dye stands out on an X-ray and helps doctors detect coronary artery disease (arteries to the heart that have narrowed) - another cause of heart failure.

Prevention and management

Giving up smoking is a way to reduce the likelihood of heart failure, or slow its progression.

There are many lifestyle changes that reduce the chances of developing heart failure, or at least slow down its progression. These include:

• Give up smoking.
• Eat sensibly, this includes plenty of fruit and vegetable, good quality fats, unrefined carbohydrates, whole grains, and the right amount of daily calories.
• Exercise regularly and stay physically active (check with your doctor).
• Keep blood pressure low.
• Maintain a healthy body weight.
• Quit alcohol, or at least consume alcohol within the national recommended limits.
• Get at least 7 hours good quality sleep each night.
• Mental stress may be bad for the heart over the long-term. Try to find ways of reducing exposure to mental stress.
• Individuals who already have heart failure should be up-to-date with their vaccinations, and have a yearly flu shot.

Exercise after a heart attack -- it could save your life, research suggests

Becoming more physically active after a heart attack reduces the risk of death, according to research presented today at EuroPrevent 2018, a European Society of Cardiology congress.1 The study, which followed more than 22,000 patients, found that those who became more physically active after a heart attack halved the risk of death within four years.

"It is well known that physically active people are less likely to have a heart attack and more likely to live longer," said lead author Dr Örjan Ekblom, associate professor, Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, GIH, Stockholm, Sweden. "However, we did not know the impact of exercise on people after a heart attack."

This study, which was a collaboration between the GIH and Centre for Health and Performance at Gothenburg University, Sweden, assessed the association between physical activity and survival after a heart attack. The study included 22,227 patients in Sweden who had a myocardial infarction between 2005 and 2013. Data was obtained from the RIKS-HIA registry, SEPHIA registry, and Swedish Census registry.

Levels of physical activity were reported 6-10 weeks and 12 months after the heart attack. The difference between answers was considered a change in physical activity over the year following the heart attack.

On both occasions, patients were asked how many times they had exercised for 30 minutes or longer during the previous seven days. Patients were categorised as constantly inactive, reduced activity, increased activity, or constantly active.

A total of 1,087 patients died during an average follow-up of 4.2 years. The researchers analysed the association between the four categories of physical activity and death, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, and clinical factors. Compared to patients who were constantly inactive, the risk of death was 37%, 51%, and 59% lower in patients in the categories of reduced activity, increased activity, or constantly active, respectively.

Dr Ekblom said: "Our study shows that patients can reduce their risk of death by becoming physically active after a heart attack. Patients who reported being physically active 6 to 10 weeks after the heart attack but became inactive afterwards seem to have a carry-over benefit. But of course the benefits for active people are even greater if they remain physically active."

Dr Ekblom said the study provided additional evidence for healthcare professionals and policy makers to systematically promote physical activity in heart attack patients. He said: "Exercising twice or more a week should be automatically advocated for heart attack patients in the same way that they receive advice to stop smoking, improve diet, and reduce stress."

"Our study shows that this advice applies to all heart attack patients," he continued. "Exercise reduced the risk of death in patients with large and small myocardial infarctions, and for smokers and non-smokers, for example."

Dr Ekblom said the study did not investigate what type of exercise patients undertook. "More research is needed to find out if there is any type of activity that is especially beneficial after a heart attack," he noted, "Should patients do resistance exercise, aerobic training, or a combination, for example? Is walking sufficient or do patients need more vigorous exercise which makes them short of breath? Answering these questions will help us to give more specific advice."

Health Benefits of Walking Daily

Do you suffer from Heart problems, stress, depression, or obesity? 

Then, try walking to beat all your health problems. Because according to the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, walking helps reduce the risk of all chronic diseases.

In fact, most health professionals prefer walking over running as it is a low-impact exercise that goes easy on your heart.

Improves Heart Health :

• Walking helps to improve your heart health. Irish scientists have reported that walking is the best exercise for sedentary individuals, especially adults, to reduce the risk of heart and cardiovascular diseases

• In another study published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, scientists confirmed that men and women of 65 years of age or older, who walked for at least 4 hours every week, were at less risk of cardiovascular disease.

• So, make sure to walk for 4 hours a week to keep heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke at bay.
