Summary
In the past, we felt that we have low incidence of heart disease.
Angiograms are now revealing that there are more people suffering from
coronary heart disease. Heart disease is on the increase in our cities and we
need to fight it so that we can live longer.
The cost and emotional implication of heart disease on the patients is worth
a fortune. In Nigeria, a heart valve operation will cost about 1.5 million
naira.
Issues related to heart disease deal with in this book are
1.STRESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Various strategies have been successful in treating psychological and
physiological stress which has been outlined.
2.Hypertension and Cardiovascular disease
Hypertension, also called High blood pressure is becoming the feature of at
least ten percent o our working population. High blood pressure is a
condition in which the blood pressure is abnormally high in the arteries or
veins. Most physicians consider the blood pressure of healthy adult to be
around 120/80.
When the blood vessels lose their flexibility, or the muscle surrounding
them force their contraction whereby the heart may pump more forcefully to
move the same amount of blood through the narrowed vessels into the
capillaries and thereby increasing the blood pressure. It is usually detected
by a routine blood pressure test and in view of that, it is advisable to
regularly go for routine blood pressure test. Pregnancy and use of oral
contraceptives can also lead to high blood pressure. Use of oral
contraceptives especially by overweight ladies can lead to high blood
pressure. The narrowing of the aorta of the heart by fat/cholesterol deposit
can also lead to hypertension. Despite the fatal consequences of high blood
pressure, like congestive heart failure, kidney failure or stroke, if untreated;
the condition responds well to medicine and other therapeutic measures.

3. Smoking and heart disease
Smoking is also a prime risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. Nicotine
contracts the blood vessels and do release hormones that raise the blood
pressure. Both effects could have an adverse effect on the heart. Smokers
have distinctly higher levels of carbon (11) oxide in their blood than non-
smokers. Remember that smoking darkens the lungs and heart making it to
overwork. When you smoke, your heart has to work harder to pump blood
through your blood vessels which had become smaller.
4. Infections and cardiovascular disease
The most common infection that can lead to heart disease is
rheumatic fever. In some cases the heart becomes inflamed. The
best way to take care of this infection has been started.
