This document discusses nutrition in children with congenital heart defects (CHD). It notes that children with CHD, especially those with cyanotic defects or congestive heart failure, often experience failure to thrive due to the increased metabolic demands of their condition. The document recommends that these children's diets provide 150-200 kcal/kg/day of calorie-dense, low-volume foods given frequently to meet their high calorie needs. It also stresses the importance of vitamin, mineral, and nutritional supplements for children with CHD.
Meditation, drinking pomegranate juice, and having loving relationships can help lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk. Eating soy foods five times a week and getting a pet can also help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Getting a flu shot and taking the stairs instead of the elevator have been shown to decrease heart disease hospitalizations and improve cardiovascular health.
This document provides summaries of several recent health-related studies and articles, including: 1) Loneliness and depression are associated with TV binge-watching; 2) Combining certain antibiotics and heart medications can double the risk of sudden death in seniors; 3) Many prepackaged toddler meals and snacks contain high levels of salt and added sugar.
Heart disease affects millions and knowing your risk factors is important. Heredity, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity are key risk factors. Everyone should determine their risks and monitor controllable factors through diet, exercise, and medical treatment if needed.
Mustard oil is generally considered heart healthy due to its low saturated fat content. However, it contains high levels of erucic acid, which studies have shown can damage heart muscles in large quantities. Tilapia fish also contains high levels of omega-6 fatty acids compared to omega-3, with ratios as high as 20:1. This imbalance promotes inflammation and heart disease more than red meat like bacon or hamburgers. While fish is typically recommended for a heart healthy diet, tilapia should be avoided due to its fatty acid profile.

The DASH diet is recommended for lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. It focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts and beans. Studies have shown the DASH diet can lower systolic blood pressure by 11 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 6 mmHg in hypertensive individuals, and by 6 mmHg and 3 mmHg respectively in pre-hypertensive individuals. However, some controversies exist around its effectiveness for weight loss, diabetes prevention, and impact on cholesterol and heart disease risk factors. Long-term studies of its effects are also limited.

Cholesterol screening in children aims to identify those with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder associated with premature cardiovascular disease. Screening is recommended between ages 1-9 using a reliable cholesterol test, with treatment including statins shown to reduce cardiovascular risks. While screening can effectively detect FH in its pre-symptomatic stage, barriers include cost and ensuring agreed-upon treatment policies are in place.
Cholesterol Screening in Children and Young Adults.pptxZawMinChit1
Cholesterol screening in children aims to identify those with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder associated with premature cardiovascular disease. Screening is recommended between ages 1-9 using a reliable cholesterol test, with the goal of early detection to allow effective lipid-lowering treatment and reduce long-term health risks. While screening raises some costs, cascade screening of families is more cost-effective than other strategies given the ability to identify cases across generations. Guidelines from major health organizations provide agreed-upon policies to help ensure screening benefits outweigh harms.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by highly elevated cholesterol levels and premature cardiovascular disease. If left untreated, those with heterozygous FH typically develop heart disease before age 55-60, while homozygotes develop heart disease in early life and die before age 20. Treatment involves intensive lifestyle management and maximum statin therapy to lower cholesterol levels, with additional drugs like ezetimibe as needed. For severe cases, lipoprotein apheresis can help lower cholesterol. Children with FH should be screened between ages 2-10 and treated early with statins to prevent heart disease later in life.
Management of Hypertension and Diabetes in Aging People 2014Nemencio Jr
This module discusses the issues in the management and treatment goals for hypertension and diabetes in the older population based on the most recent guidelines
Hypertension frequently occurs with diabetes and amplifies cardiovascular risk. Aggressive blood pressure control below 130/80 mmHg prevents more cardiovascular events in diabetics. Treatment requires multiple drugs like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, thiazide diuretics, and calcium channel blockers to control blood pressure and protect organs. Lifestyle changes like weight loss, exercise, smoking cessation, and moderation of alcohol and sodium also help lower blood pressure.
