OSGGR Yahoo Group The Ornish Support Group of Greater Rochester (OSGGR) is a nonprofit organization composed of Rochester, NY area residents with an interest in preventing or reversing coronary artery disease, and is based on the program of lowfat diet, exercise, stress reduction, and group support developed by Dean Ornish, M.D., founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. Attendees bring an "Ornish Friendly" dish with them. This is shared by the attendees from 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. From 7:30 p.m. to 9.00p.m. the meetings include general announcements and a brief orientation for guests and new members, followed by a presentation by the guest speaker. This may be followed by small group discussions or a question and answer session. Participants may discuss issues regarding any aspect of the program or difficulties they may be experiencing. Topics are in the general areas of diet, exercise, stress reduction (meditation, yoga, etc), and group support and communication skills. Starting in September 2001, meetings will no longer be at MCH: they will be at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, 249 Highland Avenue. (Click

CAD occurs from atherosclerosis, when arteries become narrow and hardened due to cholesterol plaque build-up. Further narrowing may occur from blood clots that form on the surfaces of plaques. Angina (chest pain) or shortness of breath may be present. Myocardial infarction (heart attack) can be a serious result of CAD, occurring when a blocked coronary artery causes death to a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle). Cardiac arrest may also result from CAD; 90% of sudden deaths occur in patients with two or more major arteries narrowed by atherosclerosis. Siemens advanced medical technologies are used by physicians for the detection, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of coronary artery disease. These include cardiac ultrasound, CT, MR, nuclear medicine, cardiac catheterization labs, and the information management systems that support them.

Researchers at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, reported in Tuesday's issue of Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association , that 3-D coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) could soon become the standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease.

The quality of an MRA image is comparable to that of a traditional angiograph, according to the researchers, who conducted a preliminary study on 13 subjects. Unlike conventional angiography now the gold standard doctors can use MRA without injecting dye into blood vessels or using X-rays.

In CAD, blockages in the coronary arteries, called plaques, prevent an adequate amount of blood from reaching the heart muscle. Situations that require increased blood flow to the heart may cause angina in people with CAD. These include exercise , heavy meals, and stress The risk factors for CAD (which in turn causes angina) include the following: Male gender Cigarette smoking High cholesterol levels (in particular, high

Search NYP Heart Search all of NYP Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary atherosclerosis involves the progressive narrowing of the arteries that nourish the heart muscle. Often there are no symptoms, but if one or more of these arteries become severely narrowed, angina (chest pain) may develop during exercise, stress, or other times when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. This page contains information about: What is the Cause of Coronary Artery Disease? What are the Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease? How is Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosed? How is Coronary Artery Disease Treated? What Is the Cause of Coronary Artery Disease? Coronary artery disease is caused by a buildup of fatty plaque along the artery walls. These deposits are composed mostly of cholesterol, other lipids, and fibrous tissue, such as collagen. A coronary artery must be narrowed to less than 30 percent of its original size before there is a serious reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle served by the vessel. Coronary artery disease appears to be a lifelong process in some people, beginning at an early age and progressing slowly until the vessels become so narrow that the heart muscle no longer gets adequate nourishment. The underlying cause is unknown, although it is seen most frequently in people who live in developed industrialized nations.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and MI What is coronary artery disease? More than 5 million people in the United States are known to have coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. When CAD is present, blood flow through the arteries can be reduced, due to an increasing build-up of plaque . When this happens, the heart muscle may not receive enough oxygen, and chest pain (called angina) may be felt. What is MI? If left untreated, CAD may result in a Myocardial Infarction (MI), which is more commonly known as a heart attack. A myocardial infarction creates irreversible damage to heart tissue/muscle by cutting-off oxygen to the heart muscle from the coronary arteries. This year an estimated 1.1 million Americans will have a new or recurrent coronary attack, and more than 40 percent of the people experiencing these attacks will die from them.* *American Heart Association web site Restenosis The Heart and its Coronary Arteries Treating Coronary Artery Disease ...

INTERNATIONAL HEALTH NEWS DATABASE Fish Oils and Heart Health Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and heart health Fish oils protect women against heart disease BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. There is ample evidence that frequent fish consumption or supplementation with fish oils markedly reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac death, and heart attacks in men. Up until now there has been little work done to see if the same holds true for women. Researchers at the Harvard Public School of Health have just released the results of a major study aimed at remedying this situation. Hu, Frank B., et al. Fish and omega-3 fatty acid intake and risk of coronary heart disease in women. Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 287, April 10, 2002, pp. 1815-21 Fish oils protect against sudden death BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. Sudden cardiac death kills about 250,000 Americans every year and half of them have no known cardiovascular disease when they are suddenly struck down. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health now report that men with a high intake of oils from fatty fish (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) have an 81 per cent lower risk of sudden cardiac death than do men with a low intake. Their study involved a group of 15,000 male physicians aged 40 to 82 years when they enrolled in the study. Over a 17-year follow-up period 94 men with no known cardiovascular disease died suddenly from heart failure (sudden cardiac death). Blood samples taken from the men at enrollment were analyzed for fatty acids and the results compared to those obtained from 184 controls. The average age of both controls and cases was 58 years.

Modular Nutrition Alpha Nutrition Health Education Coronary Artery Disease Alpha Nutrition Rescue Diabetes and CV Disease High Blood Pressure Antioxidants ... Weight Management Heart attacks and strokes are the most obvious consequence of damaged arteries and increased clotting of blood. The main event of a heart attack is the occlusion by a sudden blood clot of one or more blood vessels supplying the heart muscle. When blood flow is critically short, muscle cells die. This is called a myocardial infarct and the clotting event a thrombosis . Thrombosis occurs in arteries narrowed by fatty lesions in the arterial walls, a process known as atherosclerosis. Stephen Gislason MD Aging men and women are having more heart attacks and strokes. Cardiovascular deaths are rising for the first time since 1980. In the USA alone 1.5 million people have heart attacks every year at a cost of $51.6 billion (1993 data). The reports cardiovascular diseases killed 954,138 in the US in 1993. Stroke deaths rose to 150,000. And the number of people treated in the hospital for cardiovascular diseases rose to 5.7 million. One explanation is that the population at risk is becoming more sedentary with an increase in obesity. Their food supply is clearly suspect and it is not just the fat in the diet. These arterial problems with different and complex origins link to the diets and lifestyle popular in Europe and North America and occur less often among physically active, vegetable-eating populations who seldom eat dairy products, meat, and other high-protein, high-fat foods.
