Individuals over 60 with at least 2 cardiovascular risk factors or men age 55 and older with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and at least 1 additional risk factor are eligible for a free AAA screening once every 5 years on December 12, 2015 from 8am to noon at LSU Health - Healthcare Network in New Orleans. Participants must register in advance and fast for 8 hours prior to screening. All male participants will be entered to win door prizes. The screening aims to detect AAA, a potentially life-threatening ballooning of the abdominal aorta artery.
This document summarizes information about cardiac arrests. It notes that cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of heart function, and the majority of cases occur in men with heart disease. People at higher risk include those with heart disease or who have had a heart attack, men, athletes, people over age 60, and women over 60. Symptoms include inability to breathe, irregular heartbeat, and no blood flow to the heart. Preventative measures include not smoking, eating healthy, exercising, and managing health conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol. Someone experiencing a cardiac arrest needs immediate CPR or defibrillation to survive.

Men, Did You Know You are:
* 24% less likely than women to have visited a doctor within the past year
* 24% more likely to be hospitalized for pneumonia that could have been prevented by getting an immunization
* More than 2 times as likely to have a leg or foot amputated due to complications related to diabetes
* 32% more likely than women to be hospitalized for long-term complications of diabetes
* 28% more likely than women to be hospitalized for congestive heart failure
* 22% more likely to have neglected your cholesterol tests
Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, causing more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. However, many still see heart disease as a "male disease" and women often dismiss symptoms. Some key statistics show the disparity in heart health between men and women, such as women being less likely to receive preventative treatments like defibrillators. While symptoms can vary between men and women, it is important for women to be aware of common symptoms like chest pain and pressure and seek medical help immediately if experienced. Lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, diet, exercise and not smoking can significantly lower heart disease risks.
1) Sexual activity can generally be resumed safely after an acute myocardial infarction (MI) for patients at low risk, with clearance from a cardiologist for those at intermediate or high risk.
2) Sexual intercourse requires a moderate physical exertion equivalent to 2-4 metabolic equivalents, which causes a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
3) Erectile dysfunction is common after an MI but can often be treated safely with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors like sildenafil, though their use requires caution with nitrates which are contraindicated.
Sexual activity is an important component of quality of life and thus is of great concern for both patients with heart disease and their physicians. Cardiac patients are often fearful of triggering myocardial infarction (MI) during intercourse and may therefore have sex less frequently.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, surpassing all forms of cancer. It develops slowly over time due to the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. While some risk factors like age and family history cannot be modified, others such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, weight, and physical inactivity can be modified to reduce the risk of heart disease. Seeking early detection through blood tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms and stress tests can help diagnose heart disease so that it can be treated through lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery to manage symptoms and risk.

Why Heart Disease is different in womenIrina Staicu
1) Gender bias has led to gaps in understanding, diagnosing, and treating heart disease in women. While screening for breast and reproductive cancers has improved outcomes, heart disease is often overlooked.
2) Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, killing more women each year than all forms of cancer combined. However, women often experience atypical symptoms that are harder to recognize compared to the typical chest pain in men.
3) There are also unique risk factors for heart disease in women related to hormones, pregnancy, and cancer treatments. More effort is needed to educate women and doctors about the signs and increased risks of heart disease in women.
The document promotes a health screening service called Health Check North West that provides arterial tests to detect potential health risks before symptoms arise. The tests measure arterial stiffness, blood pressure, and biological age in a quick, painless, and non-invasive way.

1) Heart disease is the leading cause of death for American women, killing 1 in 3, but risk factors and symptoms can differ between women and men.
2) A new study found that race, gender, and insurance status affect how patients with chest pain are evaluated in emergency rooms.
3) While heart disease risk rises for women after menopause due to dropping estrogen levels, lifestyle changes like not smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol, and regular exercise can help prevent and control heart disease.
The document discusses cardiovascular disease and heart problems. It notes that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer worldwide and discusses various treatments for heart disease like bypass surgery, stents, and transplants. However, it states that these treatments do not address the underlying causes of heart disease. The document emphasizes that stress and an overactive nervous system can lead to heart problems by disrupting the brain's regulation of the heart rate. Maintaining an appropriate heart rate during exercise is important to avoid potential heart issues.
