Women’s Heart Disease Awareness Raised on Wear Red Day

Category : heart disease

Tags: , , ,

Today, February 6, is Wear Red Day, also known as National Heart Today. Meant to raise awareness for women’s heart disease, Wear Red Day was started by the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Heart disease symptoms for women are typically much more subtle than heart disease symptoms for men. The American Heart Association released some statistics regarding heart disease and women, such as how it’s 52% more likely for women to experience delays in getting treatment after calling 911 to report cardiac symptoms. Also, women are more likely to die from severe heart attacks once they’re in the hospital.

Women’s heart disease symptoms can include unusual fatigue, indigestion, anxiety and shortness of breath. During a heart attack, symptoms can be weakness, a cold sweat and dizziness. Some things that put people at risk for having heart disease are obesity, smoking and a family history of heart disease.

Take a Heart Disease Test

Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the world. In the United States alone, heart disease kills one person every 34 seconds. Getting a heart disease test is very important if you believe you’re at risk or have a family history of heart disease. Take a heart disease test at one of HealthCheckUSA’s many lab locations across the United States.

Cancer to Surpass Heart Disease as Leading Cause of Death

Category : cancer screenings, heart disease test

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the world. But this will no longer be true in 2010, when it’s expected that cancer will surpass heart disease as the leading cause of death. To put it more into perspective, cancer will cause more deaths than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis — combined.

A recent article in the Washington Post talked about this disturbing development and also noted that in 2030, there may be 27 million people with cancer if new treatments aren’t found by then. Furthermore, there are expected to be 17 million cancer deaths each year by 2030. These figures were released in the 2008 World Cancer Report.

The article points out that around the world, the major avoidable risk for cancer and cancer deaths is smoking, something that about 1.3 billion people do. While there have been increases in lung cancer, which is smoking-related, there have also been increases in breast cancer in developing countries. Despite the fact that in developed countries cervical cancer is preventable and treatable, it’s a major cause of cancer deaths in developing countries.

Get a Cancer Screening

Get a cancer screening — it’s so important to your health. There are several cancer screenings available from HealthCheckUSA, like a colon cancer screening and an ovarian cancer screening. Regular cancer screenings enable cancer to be detected as early as possible, therefore making the survival rate higher. Cancer screenings are simply critical to survival.

Heart Disease Test: Beneficial to Your Health

A heart disease test can be beneficial to your health and should be taken if you’re at risk for heart disease. Smoking, high blood pressure, stress, being obese or overweight, and high blood cholesterol are some things that can put you at risk for heart disease. Another thing that puts you at risk for having it is a family history of heart disease.
So if you’re at risk, take a heart disease test at HealthCheckUSA. It’s actually the most comprehensive health assessment that we offer, and it can be taken at many of our laboratory locations all over the United States.

Heart Disease and Poor Sleep

Category : heart disease

Tags: , , , , ,

A recent study has linked poor sleep to heart disease, says a very interesting recent article in Forbes. Specifically, researchers found that for elderly people with high blood pressure, getting less than 7.5 hours of sleep per night can increase their chance of heart disease.

They tracked the sleep of 1,255 people — the average age was 70.4 years — and followed their health for about 50 months. During the follow-up, there were 99 cardiovascular disease events such as stroke, heart attack and sudden cardiac death.

Over 1,200 people with an average age of 70.4 years were a part of the study, and for 50 months researchers tracked their sleep and followed their health. Those who got less than 7.5 hours of sleep per night were at the highest risk for heart disease. Basically, findings showed that in elderly individuals with hypertension, a shorter sleep duration is a predictor.

The researchers noted that in modern societies people are simply getting less sleep. And getting enough sleep can help prevent obesity and diabetes—as well as many heart disease risk factors. In short, getting a good night’s sleep every night is essential to good health.

Heart Disease: Are You at Risk?

Are you at risk for heart disease? Some things that can put you at risk for heart disease are: smoking, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, stress and being obese or overweight. A family history of heart disease may also put you at risk.

Take a Heart Disease Test

Take a heart disease test if you’re at risk—taking the test can no doubt be beneficial to your health. The heart disease test offered at HealthCheckUSA is the most comprehensive health assessment we have to offer. This heart disease test is ideal for those who would like to establish or keep track of their overall baseline levels, and it’s offered at several of our laboratory locations across the country.

Heart Disease Test

Category : heart disease test

Tags: , , , ,

A heart disease test is something extremely important, and many people may not be aware of just how important getting this test can be. A recent article in the Scotsman noted that there are disturbing new figures showing a rise in deaths from heart disease. Specifically, there’s an increase in coronary heart disease deaths among Scotland’s middle-aged men.

In Scotland, coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death. One in four men are killed due to coronary heart disease. This startling figure has been drawing attention to coronary heart disease, and rightfully so. Deaths among men in Scotland who are between 35 and 54 years old have gone up from 60 per 100,000 population in 2003 to 2006′s figure, which is 62 per 100,000 population. The death toll in 2006 was 159, while in 2003 the death toll was 143.

As attention is focused on coronary heart disease, experts are blaming a lack of exercise and obesity for the rise in deaths. Keep Well, a heart disease screening program run by the Scottish Government, might be extended to include 40-year-old men instead of just 45- to 64-year-old men. Men who use the services of Keep Well can take a heart disease test and get health advice if they need it.

In the United States, the figures on heart disease are just as disturbing as they are in Scotland. Heart disease was the leading cause of death in the US as of 2007. In just the United States, heart disease kills one person every 34 seconds.

Take a Heart Disease Test

The situation in Scotland and the figures from the US remind us how important it is to take a heart disease test if you’re at risk. Obesity, smoking and a family history of heart disease are things that can put you at risk for having it. If you are at risk, taking a heart disease test can be very beneficial to you health. HealthCheckUSA offers a heart disease test at several of their laboratory locations across America.

Health Risk Assessments Assist in Disease Prevention

Health Risk Assessments Determine Disease Risk

Health Risk Assessments are imperative for anyone that doesn’t already have heart disease or diabetes.  A health risk assessment takes into considerations several different risk factors, typically ones that you can control, to determine your potential for disease.

Health Risk Assessment Measures Risk Factors

The risk factors that are measured by a health risk assessment and used to determine your risk of heart disease or diabetes are as follows:

  • Smoking
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Physical inactivity
  • Nutrition
  • Alcohol use
  • Health history
  • Biometric measures

Health Risk Assessments Can Help You Live Longer

A health risk assessment will take all of the above factors and determine your risk of having a heart attack or dying from coronary heart disease within the next 10 years.  A health risk assessment can also gauge whether you have metabolic syndrome.  Metabolic Syndrome is a group of risk factors that greatly increase your chance of developing cardiovascular disease, including stroke and diabetes.

Health Risk Assessments Suggest Lifestyle Changes

You should have a health risk assessment by the time that you are 40 and then should assess your risk at least every few years, or if you think that your risk has changed.  However, if there is a history of heart disease or diabetes in your family, you should know your risks as early as 20 years of age.  Knowing your risk factors and working towards eliminating them as soon as possible is one of the best ways to prevent disease.  Having a periodic health risk assessment allows your physician to help determine the best wellness program for you.

Health Risk Assessment Reports are provided by HealthCheckUSA and contain the results of your comprehensive health risk assessment and biometric tests in 29 easy-to-read and understand pages.   Call one of our customer service representatives to schedule your health risk assessment and start preventing heart disease and diabetes today.

HealthCheckUSA News Alert: Homocysteine linked to Alzheimers

Category : Homocysteine

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Increased levels of Homocysteine above 14 µmol/ have been shown to double the risk for onset of Alzheimer’s. Good news is that elevated levels of homocysteine can be reversed. These results add AD to the list of risks associated with high homocysteine levels, which have also been linked to heart disease and stroke. Since homocysteine levels are related to plasma levels of vitamins-folic acid, B6, and B12-related to homocysteine levels, elevated homocysteine levels can effectively be reversed with vitamin supplementation or ore agressively with a script such as Metanx.
