#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
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.
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
It's a serious condition that's often one of the first signs of heart disease.

Blood sugar levels rise increasing the risk of heart attacks stroke and other health problems. Current treatments focus on oral medications that stimulate insulin secretions
Although there are medications that can compensate for the loss of female sex hormone production the drugs are recommended often not for long-term use due to the increased risk of heart disease and breast cancer.

#Secondhand smoke exposure linked to signs of heart disease: Exposure to tobacco smoke may be more dangerous than previously thoughtnonsmokers beware.

and the earliest detectable signs of heart disease. This research provides additional evidence that secondhand smoke is harmful
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)

#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

#Healthy lifestyle choices may dramatically reduce risk of heart attack in menfollowing a healthy lifestyle including maintaining a healthy weight
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.
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
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.

and vegetables are less likely to have a heart attack or stroke but the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption during young adulthood and heart disease later in life was less clear.
To study this concept researchers evaluated the association between dietary intake of fruits and vegetables in young adults and the presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) 20 years later.
which is evaluating how heart disease develops throughout adulthood. CARDIA began in the mid-1980s with a group of men
CAC scoring is currently the best predictor we have for future heart attacks Miedema said. Calcium build up in the walls of the coronary arteries is an early sign of heart disease
and the presence of CAC substantially raises an individual's risk for a future heart attack.
