Can a person who was born with heart disease become a police officer?

Posted by admin on March 17th, 2010 and filed under heart disease | 3 Comments »

I’m curious because a friend of mine wants to be a police officer, but she’s has heart disease and had open heart surgery when she was two. Is it possible for her to become a police officer?

As long as she is able to pass the physical agility tests (commonly called POWER tests) and get doctor’s clearance, she is more than able! Good luck to her!

Why has Heart Disease has been the number one killer in the US for decades, without decrease?

Posted by admin on March 15th, 2010 and filed under heart disease | 5 Comments »

Even though we know that Heart Disease has been the number one killer in the US for decades, how come we have not made more headway in decreasing the rates?

Heart Disease will always remain a large killer of American people most likely.

People need to realize that certain kinds of heart disease have few or no controllable factors.

However, changes in lifestyle habits especially with movement and eating can potentially reduce not only heart disease but many other significant diseases.

This is not easy to do though. Changing the way you have lived for many, many years is very hard to do.

Also- most things go undetected for a long time with the heart, sometimes (but unfortunately) leading to death.

They usually are detected at heart attack and stroke time, which leads to death early or heart failure which may not be reversible. Then, they could die on the transplant list.

Many, many things that have overcomplexity at this point in time.

Hello,

My husband was born with congenital heart disease (tetralogy of fallot), he is however an otherwise healthy 25 year old with no history of heart disease in his family background. I am a fit and healthy 24 year old with no background of heart disease in my family. I would like to know what are the statistics/chances that our children would end up being born with congenital heart disease?

How does smoking cause heart disease?

Posted by admin on March 11th, 2010 and filed under heart disease | 10 Comments »

I’ve heard that smoking causes heart disease. I understand lung cancer is caused by mutations the genetic code of structures such as the alveoli, but I’m not too clear on how smoking may contribute to heart disease. Of course, as a stimulant that taxes the heart and lungs, nicotine may not exactly be the most healthful thing affecting the cardiovascular system, but no one blames caffeine for their cardiovascular maladies. What’s the deal with smokes and heart disease?

It hardens the arteries, making the passage of the blood alot harder to travel…this is one of the reasons why heart patients take aspirin, since aspirin thins the blood, and allows it to pass through those hardened arteries…

My father died of CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) and he was an otherwise healthy man…He had an angina attack and 2 heart attacks…2 of his arteries were severely hardened and clogged…His cholesterol was normal as was his blood pressure and everything else…so what caused it? According to doctors it was his smoking!

If you are or know a smoker, learn from others’ tragedies.
