The Heart

The most significant health problem worldwide is heart disease. Heart attack is still the number one killer of both men and women but many deaths could be avoided or postponed if everyone paid attention to the risk factors for heart disease. Early detection measures have become pivotal to uncovering heart disease, and establishing preventive steps to counter risk factors.

Weighing a little less than three quarters of a pound, the heart has the task of pumping oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood through the 60,000-mile highway of blood vessels to all the tissues of the body. Your heart does this nonstop, decade after decade, for as long as you live.

Unfortunately, we often don’t give much thought to our hearts until we develop heart disease and something goes terribly wrong. Heart disease is triggered by an excess of cholesterol, a waxy, fatlike substance that helps to strengthen cell membranes and produce hormones. While cholesterol serves many important functions in the body, too much cholesterol in the blood can ultimately be very dangerous. When cholesterol levels rise too high, it can build up on the inside of artery walls, increasing the risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke.
