                                WHAT IS HUMAN HEART?
                                                                  


  ­­­­The heart is one of the most important organs in the entire human body

                 
 ­­­­­It is really nothing but more than a pump, composed of muscle which pumps blood through out 
            the  body. 
 
­­­­Heart beating approximately 72 times per minute of our lives.

                        
­­­­The heart pumps the blood, which carries all the vital materials which help our bodies function.

­­­­It also removes the waste products that we do not need.

­­­­For example, the brain requires oxygen and glucose,  if it not received continuously,we  will     
         cause it to loose consciousness.
]
­­­­In the same way our Muscles need oxygen, glucose and amino acids, as well as the proper ratio 
         of sodium, calcium and potassium salts in order to contract normally.
   SITUATION OF HUMAN HEART IN INDIA
                                                                   




­­­­Heart Attacks: An Explosive Situation


­­­A heart attack is sudden,it causes of the heart attack are not. Years of unhealthy heart habits 
       suddenly, unexpectedly, catch up with you Anywhere Anytime.


­­­ Heart attack occurs when the supply of nutrient­rich blood to the heart muscle is reduced or    
          stopped  
  
 ­­­­ If the blood supply is shut down for a long time, muscle cells die from a lack of oxygen
­­­­Symptoms of Heart Diseases 

­­­­­­­­There are certain very pronounced symptoms of heart diseases or heart attacks. They are as 
follows: 

                1) Anxiety 
                 2) Fear, 
                 3) Stress 
                  4) Chest pain and discomfort in the chest. 
                    5) Sweating, breathlessness, faintness/dizziness. 
                     6) Numbness of face 
                      7) High blood pressure 
                          8) Hypertension 




­­­Hindu priest Pandjitee is not overweight, does not smoke or drink and follows a strict vegetarian 
diet. Yet three years ago he was suddenly struck by a heart attack.




­­­­Pandjitee is among a growing number of Indians who are at risk of heart disease because of a 
                genetic mutation that affects one in 25 people in India


­­­­Indians suffer heart attacks at an earlier age, often without prior symptoms or warning.
 

­­­Now researchers says,in india more than one billion people, will likely account for 60 per cent of 
              heart disease patients worldwide, by 2010.



­­­A study among Asian Indian men showed that half of all heart attacks in this population occur    
        under the age of 50 years and 25 percent under the age of 40.


­­­A team of 25 scientists from four countries explained that one percent of the world’s population 
carries this mutation almost guaranteed to cause heart problems. And most of them come from india


­­­­­The mutation was discovered five years ago in two Indian families with cardiomyopathy, but its 
significance only became apparent.


 ­­­­After almost 1,500 people from many parts of India, some with heart disease and some without, 
were studied.


­­­­Scientists express this genetic risk as an odds ratio, where 1.2 would be a small effect and 2.0 a 
large one. 
      
                          PROBLEMS OF HUMAN HEART


 
                      
                     coronary Artery With Plaque Buildup 




­­­­Plaque: 1. An semi­hardened accumulation of substances from fluids that bathe an area. 
       Examples include dental plaque and cholesterol plaque.

­­­­­Cholesterol is a key component in plaques on the inner walls of blood vessels and can lead to 
       blood clot formation. heart attacks, and strokes

­­­Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary artery disease (CAD).

­­­ CAD is the buildup over time of a material called plaque on the inner walls of the coronary    
       arteries
.
­­­Eventually, a section of plaque can break open, causing a blood clot to form at the site.

­­­It’s not always clear what causes a coronary artery spasm, but sometimes it can be related to:
      •Taking certain drugs, such as cocaine 
      •Emotional stress or pain 
      •Exposure to extreme cold 


­­­Major risk factors for heart attack that you can control include:
    •Smoking
    •HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
    •HIGH BLOOD CHOLESTEROL
    •OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
    •Physical inactivity
•Diabetes(high blood sugar)


­­­Heart disease is not a major cause of death among children and teenagers.

­­­­But it is the largest cause of death among adults in the United States. In fact, someone in   
        America dies every 37 seconds from some form of cardiovascular disease.


                        


                              SYMPTOMS OF HEART ATTACK
­­­­The heart stroke or pressure is the most common symptom of a heart attack

­­­Heart attack, heart attack victims may experience a variety of symptoms including:

               1.  Pain, fullness, and/or squeezing sensation of the chest
 
                           2.Jaw pain,toothache,headache
                         
                            3.Shortness of Breath
                             
                            4.Nausea, vomiting

                             5.Sweating

                              6.Upper back pain
                 
7.No symptoms (Approximately one quarter of all heart attacks are silent, without chest pain or new 
symptoms. Silent heart attacks are especially common among patients with   diabetes.


 ­­­­­­It is important to remember that heart attacks producing no symptoms or only mild symptoms 
                 can be just as serious and life­threatening as heart attacks that cause severe chest pain

­­­­­­survival from a heart attack with modern treatment should exceed 90%

­­­­­The 1% to 10% of heart attack victims who later die frequently had suffered major damage to 
               the heart muscle initially

­­­­­The risk of CAD rises in women after menopause

­­­­At age 75, a woman's risk for CAD is equal to that of a man's.

­­­­A 50­year­old woman faces a 46% risk of developing CAD and a 31% risk of dying from 
       coronary artery disease

­­­­­­ The probability of woman contracting and dying from breat cancer is 10% and 3%, 
        respectively.



                        
SOLUTION OF HUMAN HEART


­­­­­­­­Being diagnosed with heart disease need not automatically lead to angiography,   
               angioplasty or bypass surgery. Reversing it may be as simple as following dietary 
               and lifestyle changes—leading to heart cure.

­­­­­Prevention is better than a cure of heart disease

                               PREVENTION: HEART DISEASE




­­­­­­­Prevention involves life style,which u will learn is more important than genetics,in preventing 
                and reversing heart disease


­­­­­Number of deaths for leading causes of death

Heart disease: 631,636

Cancer: 559,888

Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599

Diabetes: 72,449

Alzheimer's disease: 72,432

Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,326

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 45,344

Septicemia: 34,234


­­Since Heart Disease is number one on the list let's see what we can possibly do to reduce our risks.



­­­­­­Building up our immune systems involves' everything.
­­­­­ It means our entire lifestyle such as:

             The air we breathe

            The water we drink

            The food we eat

           Getting proper rest and sleep

           Getting the proper amount of sunshine

           Effective regular exercise and having solid loving relationships.
                                                                                               It involves our entire life

                        PREVENTION OF LIFESTYLE:

           




­­­­­It is also important to include proper fats and oils as well as plenty of Omega 3's in the diet

­­­­Exercise or activity is also very healthy for the body, and will help alleviate stress.

­­­­Avoid heart problems in the future by adopting a healthy lifestyle today. Here are five heart   
       disease prevention tips to get you started.

1.Don't smoke or use tobacco products

­­­­Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,800 chemicals.

­­­­Many of these can damage your heart and blood vessels, making them more vulnerable to 
                      narrowing of the arteries Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to a heart attack. 

­­­­­The good news, though, is that when you quit smoking, your risk of heart disease drops 
                      dramatically within just one year

2. Get active
                       
­­­­­when you combine physical activity with other lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a healthy 
       weight, the payoff is even greater.

­­­­­Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other 
conditions that may put a strain on your  heart such as:

                     .High blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may 
also be a factor in heart disease. 
3. Eat a heart­healthy diet
                       
­­­­Eating a special diet called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan 
            also can help protect your heart

­­­­DASH  diet means:
       
             Eating foods that are low in fat

        Cholesterol and salt

        The diet is rich in fruits, vegetables

        Whole grains and low­fat dairy products that can help protect your heart

­­­­Low­fat sources of protein and certain types of fish also can reduce your risk of heart disease. 

­­­­A heart­healthy diet also means drinking alcohol only in moderation — no more than two drinks 
               a day for men, one a day for women.

­­­Alcohol can have a protective effect on your heart. Above that, it becomes a health hazard. 


                         4.Maintain a healthy weight



­­­­As we put on weight in adulthood, our weight gain is mostly fat rather than muscle.


­­­This kind of excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease — 
                       high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

­­­­­One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass

­­­­Even small reductions in weight can be beneficial. Reducing your weight by just 10 percent can  
                      decrease your blood pressure, lower your blood cholesterol level and reduce 
                      your risk of diabetes.


                                 5. Get regular health screenings


­­­­­­High blood pressure and high cholesterol can damage your heart and blood vessels. 

­­­­­Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action

Blood pressure. Regular blood pressure screenings start in childhood. Adults should have their 
                     blood pressure checked at least every two years. You may need more frequent 
                            checks if your numbers aren't optimal or if you have other risk factors 
                                   for heart disease. Optimal blood pressure is less than 120/80 
millimeters of mercury.
Cholesterol levels. Adults should have their cholesterol measured at least once every five years. You 
                      may need more frequent testing if your numbers aren't optimal or if you have 
                      other risk factors for heart disease. Some children may need their blood 
                      cholesterol tested if they have a strong family history of heart disease.



           Prevention pays:


­­­­­­­Heart disease is often avoidable. Following a heart­healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be 
        complicated.
 ­­­­­­Find ways to include heart­healthy habits into your lifestyle — and you may well enjoy a 
         healthier life for years to come. 


                               TAKE PRECAUTOINS OF:
 
                               CHECK  BLOOD PRESSURE


                                    QUIT SMOKING


                                     CHECK CHOLESTEROL


                                    CHECK OBESITY
 
                                   BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE
                            




                                          THANK U
