Tim Russert’s Death and How You Can Avoid Sudden Cardiac Death
You can use the renewed awareness around sudden cardiac death to improve your health. New York Newsday reports:
“Any time a celebrity has a medical problem that hits the news, there’s a heightened awareness of the condition. That’s human nature,” said Dr. Stephen Green, chief of cardiology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. “We’ve been seeing more people coming into the emergency room and scheduling appointments.”
Today, heart disease treatment and heart attack prevention are a combination of the age-old mantra — don’t smoke, do exercise, maintain a healthy weight, and eat well — and tests and medications that can bolster the system against deadly episodes.
Along with standard tests for heart disease risk, many doctors are turning to an array of new screenings that pinpoint protein markers as a way to get a jump-start on cardiovascular disease and to stop it before it starts.
Some are looking at C-reactive protein, a marker in the blood that indicates inflammation. Blocked coronary arteries are prime examples of inflammation.
