Atherosclerosis major heart attack cause Atherosclerosis, commonly called hardening of the arteries, is a major cause of heart attack and stroke. Its progressive. It can begin early in life. Although usually irreversible, there is evidence that the disease can be slowed by eating foods low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and by controlling high blood pressure. Dr. Richard S. Ross, president of the American Heart Association, explains how it esterol leads to a high blood cholesterol level and to an accumulation of deposits within the blood vessels. Dr. Ross says studies confirm that high blood cholesterol is associated with the increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Eating foods low in fat and cholesterol can lower the level of cholesterol in the blood and reduce the risk of these two killers. Cholesterol levels can also be lowered by treatment with drugs when develops: necessary. Over the years, cholesterol, saturated fats, and other debris carried in the bloodstream collect along the walls of the blood vessels. The arteries become thick and lose their ability to expand and contract. As this build-uon the walls becomes heavier, the artery channels narrow and sometimes close altogether, making it easy for a clot to form. When the flow of blood and oxygen needed to keep the heart and brain functioning properly is blocked, a heart attack or stroke can result. Although atherosclerosis has long been considered a disease of aging, Dr. Ross cites these facts: Doctors performing autopsies on children killed in accidents, or who died from other causes, found streaks of fat in arteries as early as age Another factor contributing to the two major killers heart attack and stroke is high blood pressure (hypertension). This, too, may begin earlier than doctors once believed. When atherosclerosis and high blood pressure are combined, Dr. Ross warns, the risk is even greater, since the presence of both often results m cerebral hemorrhage, a form of stroke. p The Director of the Cardiovascular Division of the Department ,of Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore, points out that high blood pressure, once thought to be present only in adults, is now showing up in small children and teenagers. Pediatricians, he says, take blood pressure readings as part of routine examinations. And some Heart Associations throughout the U.S. have undertaken screening programs which include high school students. Screening members of the community for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other potential causes of heart disease, Dr. Ross says, is just one of many services provided by the American Heart Association, now conducting its 1974 Heart Fund three. Autopsies on soldiers killed during the Korean War showed hardening of the arteries in some men in their early 20s and 30s. He notes that these findings are evidence that atherosclerosis and the heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular killers to which it contributes are diseases that can begin early in life.
