1. Typically an environmental condition that corrupts the heart from a bad diet, but could be caused at any point in human development, being more rare than the former. Bad diets being from high sodium, high fats particularly from trans fats and other hydrogenated oils that clogs arteries. 2. Healthy diets, high in fiber and natural stuff like fruits and vegetables. Pretty much avoid fast food, chain food, and most processed foods that are high in everything from sodium to all the preservatives that are nearly toxic in themselves. 3. American Heart Association is number one with a website full of details, but your local doctor is probably your best advocate in diagnosing (high risk factors and high blood pressure) and preventing (recommending an excercise and diet program tailored for your condition).

You can find this information anywhere on the internet: Heart disease is caused by a combonation of a bad diet and family history of heart disease. Plaque builds up in the arteries and causes blockages of blood flow to the heart. Plaque is formed by cholesterol and fat we take from our diet but people are susceptable to a certain amount of build up because of weight and family history as well. Heart disease is prevented by having a healthy diet low in fat and cholesterol, controlling stress, and regularly performing aerboic exercise such as running and swimming. support service is the american heart association

Ok! The most common heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD). I is also called coronary arteriosclerosis. CAD is caused by a build-up of plaque in the arteries to the heart muscle. The plaque is made up of cholesterol, calcium and other material found in human blood. The plaque sticks to the wall of the arteries and builds until it blocks or clogs the artery. Risk factors that aid in this process are: smoking; High amounts of certain fats and cholesterol in the blood ; High blood pressure; High amounts of sugar in the blood due to insulin resistance or diabetes. Prevention of heart disease should start in childhood. Teaching children proper diet and exercise programs is an effective means to encourage them to take care of themselves as the grow older, Proper diet and exercise along with weight managementl are primary to preventing heart disease. Other preventive measures include avoidance of high risk social behaviors like smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol. Also, being aware of our blood pressure and cholesterol levels and taking appropriate action when needed are essential to prevention. Following your doctors advice is crucial. Support services usually are after-care programs. These serve patients recovering from angioplasty, stint placement and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Most are called Coronary Rehabilitation Programs and are offered at or by hospital and/or coronary care units. These programs normally focus on cardiovascular exercise programs. Some offer special instruction in disease monitoring, dietary and meal planning and weight management. A person who wishes to reduce their risk of developing heart disease has many options. Asking their doctor or hospital, public libraries, and the internet are great places to begin your search and develope a self education program. I hope this is what you were wanting.

1. The most common heart disease is blockages of arteries. There is some plaque deposits that form, but the bigger problem, for me at least, is stress and chemicals that may cause damage to artery linings, which then spit open part way. The body tries to repart it, and in doing so makes the whole thing worse, with an ever widening split and bulge of the lining. 2. Lower stress if possible, more happiness. More natural foods, less fatty foods, more high anti-oxidant foods periodically throughout the day. Regular exercise that gets the heart rate noticeably elevated for at least an hour a day. Avoid people and things that raise your blood pressure. For young people, that could be bad diet, smoking, drugs, but even video games and action movies that may raise your adrenaline level for extended periods that affects your blood pressure. 3. Your health care provider. Once you have a serious problem, they don't want to spend the money again, so they check on you regularly. AHA and other groups are there if you have questions, but you have to go find them. I have very serious heart disease, and there have been no groups outside my HMO that have contacted me in 26 months.
