National Heart Month... a good time to evaluate risks

National Heart Month is a good time to take a look at yourself and see what your chances are of contracting the nation's number one killer, ac- cording to Glen Dyer, R.R.T., Direc- tor of Cardiopulmonary Services at Gulf Coast Medical Center (GCMC). "Heart disease is still the leading killer of adults," he said. "We can do a great deal to stop this disease if we can edu- cate everyone about the controllable risk factors in his or her life."

Dyer explained that there are sev- eral lifestyle choices that may deter- mine whether a person eventually de- velops heart disease.

"The leading risk factor is ciga- rette smoking," he said. "This is one habit that people can control." He pointed out that weight is another fac- tor. "Carrying more weight than you should makes your heart work too hard," he said. "It's just logical that it's dangerous to your heart's health."

High blood pressure and choles- terol count are two more factors that may determine your susceptibility to heart disease, Dyer said. "In both cases, early detection of the problem is essential. Both can be treated with diet and medication, but the person must discover the problem before treatment can begin."

He explained that other risk fac- tors cannot be controlled. "If your father had heart disease, it may mean

you're at a higher risk," he said. "Also, some racial groups seem to have a higher risk of heart disease. Who your parents are and what race you belong to are things that you have no control over, but knowing that you are a high risk should make you more vigilant about factors you can control. Being a ware of the risks for heart disease can go a long way in helping prevent it"
