#Mechanism for how grapes reduce heart failure associated with hypertension identifieda new study appearing in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry demonstrates that grapes are able to reduce heart failure associated with chronic high blood pressure (hypertension) by increasing the activity of several genes responsible for
An estimated 1 billion people worldwide have hypertension which increases the risk of heart failure by 2 to 3-fold.
Heart failure resulting from chronic hypertension can result in an enlarged heart muscle that becomes thick and rigid (fibrosis)
and unable to fill with blood properly (diastolic dysfunction) or pump blood effectively. Oxidative stress is correlated strongly with heart failure
and deficiency of glutathione is observed regularly in both human and animal models of heart failure. Antioxidant-rich diets containing lots of fruits
and vegetables consistently correlate with reduced hypertension. In this study conducted at the University of Michigan Health System hypertensive heart failure-prone rats were fed a grape-enriched diet for 18 weeks.
The results reproduced earlier findings that grape consumption reduced the occurrence of heart muscle enlargement and fibrosis and improved the diastolic function of the heart.
Furthermore the mechanism of action was uncovered: grape intake turned on antioxidant defense pathways increasing the activity of related genes that boost production of glutathione.
Our earlier studies showed that grapes could protect against the downward spiral of hypertensive heart failure
and also look at the impact of whole grape intake compared to individual grape phytonutrients on hypertension-associated heart failure.
and dietary supplement approaches for prevention of heart disease stemming from chronic hypertension. The NIH grant is allowing the team at the University of Michigan Medical System to expand its work in this important area

#Secondhand smoke exposure linked to signs of heart disease: Exposure to tobacco smoke may be more dangerous than previously thoughtnonsmokers beware.
or as an adult at work or at home--the more likely you are to develop early signs of heart disease according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 62nd Annual Scientific Session.
and the earliest detectable signs of heart disease. This research provides additional evidence that secondhand smoke is harmful
We actually found the risk of secondhand smoke exposure to be an equivalent or stronger risk factor for CAC than other well-established ones such as high cholesterol hypertension and diabetes.
and then to heart attacks so this lends more credence to enforcing smoking bans Dr. Hecht said.
We know heart disease is accelerated significantly by secondhand smoke exposure so it should be included as a routine part of medical exams
and discussions about heart disease and try to prevent it as best we can. This study included 3098 healthy people between 40 and 80 years old who had smoked never (defined as having smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime)
and more likely to have diabetes high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Although his team did not use the standard Agatston score to assess CAC Dr. Hecht said this study further validates the utility of low-dose non-gated CT scans to measure the amount of plaque in the coronary arteries in nonsmokers exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke.
and coronary artery disease in a single low-dose scan he said. As a general rule people should limit secondhand smoke exposure as much as possible.
A team led by Rice physicist Ching-Hwa Kiang found that shear forces like those found in small arteries of patients with atherosclerosis cause snippets of nonclotting VWF to change into a clot-forming shape for hours at a time.

#Strawberries, blueberries may cut heart attack risk in womenwomen who ate at least three servings of blueberries
and strawberries per week had fewer heart attacks. Blueberries and strawberries contain high levels of compounds that have cardiovascular benefits.
and strawberries per week may help women reduce their risk of a heart attack by as much as one-third researchers reported in Circulation:
During the study 405 heart attacks occurred. Women who ate the most blueberries and strawberries had a 32-percent reduction in their risk of heart attack compared to women who ate the berries once a month
or less--even in women who otherwise ate a diet rich in other fruits and vegetables.
We have shown that even at an early age eating more of these fruits may reduce risk of a heart attack later in life said Aedã n Cassidy Ph d. lead author
and head of the Department of Nutrition at Norwich Medical school of the University of East Anglia in Norwich United kingdom. The findings were independent of other risk factors such as age high blood pressure family history of heart attack
The health benefits of switching from refined to whole grain foods are established well including lower risk of cardiovascular disease weight gain
Abnormal proteins from buttock fat linked to metabolic syndromepeople who are shaped apple--with fat more concentrated around the abdomen--have long been considered more at risk for conditions such as heart disease
Metabolic syndrome refers to a group of risk factors that occur together doubling the risk for heart disease
Risk factors include having a large waistline low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or good cholesterol high blood pressure as well as high fasting blood sugar (insulin resistance) and high triglyceride levels.
and gluteal fat was thought to protect against diabetes heart disease and metabolic syndrome said Ishwarlal Jialal lead author of the study
and low levels of omentin-1--proteins that correlate with other factors known to increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes.
High chemerin levels for example correlated with high blood pressure elevated levels of C reactive-protein protein (a sign of inflammation) and triglycerides insulin resistance and low levels of HDL cholesterol.
and colleagues recruited 45 patients with early metabolic syndrome--defined as having at least three risk factors for metabolic syndrome including central obesity hypertension mild increases in glucose levels not yet in the diabetic range(<126 mg/dl

As obesity rates have soared so too have related health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Consequently Ard and his colleagues fear that the next generation may have a lower life expectancy than the current generation.
and respiratory diseases including coronary heart disease and lung cancer. However until now it has been uncertain whether ETS increases the risk of dementia mainly due to lack of research.
'The increased risk of severe dementia syndromes in those exposed to passive smoking is increased similar to risk of coronary heart disease--suggesting that urgent preventive measures should be taken not just in China but many other countries.'
and mean that people are likely to be able to enhance their mental wellbeing at the same time as preventing heart disease and cancer.
#Healthy lifestyle choices may dramatically reduce risk of heart attack in menfollowing a healthy lifestyle including maintaining a healthy weight
and diet exercise not smoking and moderating alcohol intake could prevent four out of five coronary events in men according to a new study publishing today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
While mortality from heart disease has declined in recent decades with much of the reduction attributed to medical therapies the authors said prevention through a healthy lifestyle avoids potential side effects of medication
and is more cost effective for population-wide reductions in coronary heart disease. For the study researchers examined a population of 20721 healthy Swedish men aged 45-79 years of age
The researchers found a clear reduction in risk for heart attack for each individual lifestyle factor the participants practiced.
For instance having a low-risk diet together with a moderate alcohol consumption led to an estimated 35 percent lower risk of heart attack compared to the high-risk group those who practice none of the low-risk factors.
Researchers found similar results in men with hypertension and high cholesterol levels. It is not surprising that healthy lifestyle choices would lead to a reduction in heart attacks said Agneta Akesson Ph d. Associate professor at the Institute of Environmental Medicine Karolinska Institutet Stockholm
and lead author of the study. What is surprising is how drastically the risk dropped due to these factors.
The burden of cardiovascular disease could be reduced significantly through programs targeted to men and promoting low-risk lifestyle choices.
Even in those who take medication an additional reduction in risk for chronic heart disease has been observed in those with a healthy lifestyle.
Small serving beneficial, large not necessarya daily small serve of dairy food may reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke even in communities where such foods have not traditionally formed part of the diet.
Cancer and cardiovascular disease are the leading causes of death among Taiwanese. When Professor Wahlqvist's study began in 1993 there was little apparent concern about dairy foods in contrast to a current belief that they may be harmful to health
We observed that increased dairy consumption meant lower risks of mortality from cardiovascular disease especially stroke

Researchers suggested that higher dietary potassium intake may be more beneficial before high blood pressure develops. They also said there was no evidence of any association between potassium intake and hemorrhagic stroke
It's clear that poor nutrition has a major role in some of the leading American health problems including diabetes and heart disease.
An unhealthy diet is linked closely to cardiovascular disease diabetes and some cancers. Eating a healthy diet is an important part of the strategy to prevent adverse health outcomes.
#Fruit consumption cuts cardiovascular disease risk by up to 40 percentdaily fruit consumption cuts the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by up to 40%according to research presented at ESC Congress by Dr Huaidong
CVD including ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke is the leading cause of death worldwide. Improving diet and lifestyle is critical for CVD risk reduction in the general population
Our data clearly shows that eating fresh fruit can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease including ischaemic heart disease and stroke (particularly haemorrhagic stroke.
and CV mortality in more than 61000 patients from the China Kadoorie Biobank who had CVD or hypertension at baseline.
Patients with CVD and hypertension should also be encouraged to consume more fresh fruit. Many western populations have experienced a rapid decrease in CVD mortality during the past several decades especially stroke mortality
Our results show the benefit of eating fruit in the healthy general population and in patients with CVD and hypertension.
and high-protein diets improved glycemic control and cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with diabetes compared with control diets.
It's critical that we rigorously examine the long-term impact of this new technology on public health cardiovascular disease and stroke and pay careful attention to the effect of e-cigarettes on adolescents.
