Show MAY 11, 1983 Danis ; Ikns journal Kiwanis Hear Cardiologist i The Layton Kiwanis Club rneeting at the Valley View (jolt Club for their regular Saturday breakfast meeting on April 30 heard Dr. Don LePeav, chief cardiologist at LDS Hospital, speak uncaring for the human heart and its problems. A CARDIOLOGIST does not perform cardiac surgerj, but does the testing and evaluation preparatory to surgery. He also handles medical treatment of problems of the heart and circulatory system. The process of atlroscerosis, or monitoring of the arteries due to fatty deposits in the circulatory system, is under intense study. It is believed that the following risk factors contribute to the problem. eating high-fa- t diet. '2i hereditary factors. (3) smoking tobacco. (4l high blood pressure. OF THESE factors, smoking the most serious problem. Smokers face three times as high a risk of coronary disease as do Dietary habits which contribute to the risk of heart disease include over consumption of certain animal fats, primarily red meats, eggs and milk fats. Utah has a particular problem is probably with dietary habits, which largely offset the gains in risk reduction resulting from low smoking rates. This is excess consumption of animal fats primarily from too much meat in the diet. There is some evidence that consumption of polyunsaturates may help lower the risk of coronary problems. This would include using fish oils, corn oil, etc. ANOTHER HIGH risk factor is high blood pressure. Persons who have this problem and fail to get adequate treatment increase the risk of coronary artery disease. On the other hand, high blood pressure is highly treatable and if medication is taken faithfully, the risk is virtually eliminated from the source. Stress as a risk factor is a debatable matter. All of the evidence is not yet in. Dr. Le Peay does not believe it is a significant factor. It may, however, aggravate the problem where it already exists. ASPIRIN may lower the risk of heart disease. However, this is still under study. Exercise as a preventive step is also still under study. It is clear that exercise improves overall health and well being and this, in time, lowers the risk of all kinds of illness, including those w hich may damage the heart. Also regular exercise may help in discovering the early signs of coronary artery disease, since it will precipitate the minor discomfort which results from early stages of the disease. ONCE CORONARY artery disease has been diagnosed, usually by catheterization of the coronary arteries, there are several modes of treatment. One of the most common is the coronary bypass operation. In this surgical procedure the blocked arteries in the heart are bypassed by a graft of a vein taken from the leg. This is essentially a replumbing job which provides a new arterial route for blood to get to the heart muscle. Another new treatment for coronary artery disease is a catheterization procedure by which a balloon is inserted into the heart artery and inflated. This compresses the fatty plaque deposits in the artery affected. Usually the compressed fatty material then stays compressed and the artery remains open. Results are comparable to bypass surgery, where only one or two arteries are involved. Bypass Preparing to attend the annual Boys State in Logan from Layton Allen.

The squad lost to Ogden High School's team in the final round by one point. MOCK TRIALS are a fairly new activity for high school students. The program was started in Utah just four years -- : ago. Each year, the state department of education selects an issue important, current social and places the topic in the con- text ofa civil law suit. A booklet stating the rules of the competition and containing a legal brief of the particular civil case to be tried is given to each participating school team. THE 1983 case was "Vincent Taylor, plaintiff or petitioner verses the Alta View Hospital for Women, defendant. Basic facts in the case were that Mr. Taylor, the only male nurse at a hospital for women was terminated for em- ployment after only nine months. He filed application with the committee of the state. This group ruled against Mr. Taylor. The students participate in the court part of the legal system under the pretense that Mr. Taylor has entered an appeal to the district court of Utah. COMPETITION between the different high school teams was held on two levels between April 5 and 28. Twenty-tw- o high schools and 14 junior high schools entered teams for the competition. There are seven or eight students on each team. The preliminary level trials were judged by two practicing attorneys and one person from the state board of education. The final round of competition was judged by The Honorable Ralph R. Mabey, the Honorable Scott Daniels and The Honorable Melvin H. Morris, judges from Salt Lake City. EACH MOCK trial lasted between three and five hours, The judges and the attorneys volunteered their time to hear the cases. is done.
