Heart Health New Information New Treatment

May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Nearly half of all adult Americans have high cholesterol, high blood pressure or
diabetes, all conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, researchers
from the national Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention said Monday.

One in 8 Americans have at least two of the conditions and 1 in 33 have all three,
sharply increasing their risk.

Of those with at least one condition, 15 percent have not been diagnosed,
according to the report released online.

“The number that really surprised me is the penetration of these conditions into the
U.S. population,” said Dr. Clyde Yancy of Baylor University Medical Center, president of
the American Heart Association. “When that number is nearly 50 percent, that’s a huge
wake-up call.”

It means there are a large number of people, Yancy said, “who think they are
healthy . . . but are working under a terrible misconception.

Though researchers should be able to use the new data to plan interventions, “the
main thing here is for people to be aware that they have these conditions and know that
lifestyle modifications and medications can control them and reduce their risk for
cardiovascular disease,” said epidemiologist Cheryl Fryar of the CDC’s National Center
for Health Statistics, on of the study’s authors.

African Americans as a group had the highest proportion with high blood pressure,
while whites were more likely to have high cholesterol and Mexican-Americans were
more likely to have diabetes, the researchers found.

The greatest disparity was in high blood pressure, where 42.5 percent of African-
Americans had the condition, compared with 29 percent of whites and 26 percent of
Mexican-Americans. African-Americans were more likely to have two or three of the conditions, the report found. “This was pretty much what we expected,” Fryar said. “I don’t know that there is any one particular factor” to account for the radical disparities.

The data come from the ongoing National Health and Nutrition, Examination
Survey, which releases new figures every two years. The survey consists of interviews
conducted in participants’ homes, standardized physical examinations given to some
participants and laboratory tests using blood and urine specimens.

“This report is so timely and important because it crystallizes exactly what the
burden is,” Yancy said. “It tells us the challenge we now face that could stress and
potentially defeat any health care system we could come up with.”
Personal responsibility plays a big role in creating these three health problems, he
said.

With the insurance compnaies even jumping on board the pervention train folks can expect their Doctors to start talking more about getting on a good supplement. For heart health there is none better that ProArgi9 by Synergy. It was brought to market by Dr. Ignaso who wone the Nobel Prize in 1998 for his work with L-arginine. Since that point he has treated more than 7000 folks with out a single rellaps. The data show that early prevention in the form of an L-arginine supplement can prevent and sometimes even reverce heart disease.
