(Reuters) – people with disease warning signs

heart, such as blood pressure and cholesterol high, there are more

placement in an institution to survive a first attack-prone to the

heart than those with better health before the heart attack

revealed a study American.

The analysis, which covered more than 500,000 people, found

that even when takes into account the age influences

and weight, few more cardiac risk factors was the

patient, children were the chances of death.

“After adjusting the age and other clinical factors, there was a

“

inverse relationship between the number of risk factors of

coronary heart disease and the realistic possibilities of

“

hospital mortality”, wrote the director of the study,

John Canto, in Journal of the American Medical Association.

“Association was consistent in several age groups and

“”

major subgroups of patients”, he added.

The researchers noted that you a possible explanation

for the result is that you people who already knew their

heart problem were medicated, Statin or

beta-blockers, who helped protect them after infarction.

The data for the analysis taken from a record

national American of almost 500,000 first strokes between

1994 and 2006. During the hospitalization, doctors indicated

If patients had some standard risk factor of

heart disease, including blood pressure, cholesterol,

diabetes, smoking, and family background.

Among all patients, more than 85 percent had to the

least one of these risk factors, and people with more of

one had heart attacks of younger, on average.

More than 50,000 patients died in the hospital.

After take into account the fact that people without

risk factors tended to be larger, and adjust the weight, the

race and gender, the study found that non-smokers without

diabetes or family history of heart disease, or

high, cholesterol or pressure were 50 percent more

likely to die in the hospital that persons with all

these signs of warning.

One in seven of those people without warning signs

died after suffering a heart attack, compared with one of

each 28 patients with all the factors of risk.

Singing and his colleagues demonstrated that patients with more

risk factors also tend to receive the medication within

of the first 24 hours of the hospital stay, or be

undergoing surgery.

Those who are warning signs would have been

early before the heart attack, or would have more regular contact

with their doctors, although there was no way of knowing that from

the data that was available, said Canto.

Is also possible that people without the factors of

traditional risk having other risks of health without measure,

that caused heart attacks and raised the possibility

of death, or that something in his bloodstream was different.

ORLANDO, USA (Reuters) – eat an Apple day

it would keep the doctor away, but three kiwis could reduce

blood pressure.

A study released at the scientific meeting of the

American Association in Orlando heart revealed that

eat three times a day the fruit of skin amarronada and hairy and

tender green interior was related to a reduction of the

pressure blood.

High pressure is considered a risk factor of

heart disease, which remains the main cause of

death in the world.

The eight week study led by Mette

Svendsen of the University Hospital in Oslo, Norway,

118 people with an average age of 55 and

pressure slightly high.

A group added three kiwis to their daily diet, while the

another added an Apple. Kiwis contain lutein, which has

Properties antioxidants.

After eight weeks, the researchers found that the

systolic pressure within 24 hours of the group that consumed kiwi was

on average about 3.6 millimeters of mercury than the of the

Apple users. Systolic pressure is the number

of the reading.

The diastolic blood pressure was also lower in the

cohort that consumed kiwis, although the association with the fruit

it was not so clear, they pointed to the researchers.

The team recommended that the findings are confirmed with

a broader study.

The surprising thing with kiwis study is perhaps that it was

made in Norway and not New Zealand.
