    However, as per the American Heart Association (AHA) (2015), the risk of heart disease increases with increase in the age (both men and women) with most them being 60 years and older. The age, along with some other risk factors (both modifiable and non-modifiable) can contribute to the heart diseases in any individual (“Cardiovascular Disease,” 2011). The modifiable risk factors are hypertension, obesity, cholesterol levels, smoking habit, diet, diabetes, and physical activity (“Cardiovascular Disease,” 2011). Non-modifiable risk factors include age, family history, and gender (“Cardiovascular Disease,” 2011). Therefore, the population of interest in this initiative is the adults and older adults with both modifiable and non-modifiable risk…

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains Australia’s biggest killer, mostly because of the deaths it causes among older people. It is also the second largest contributor to the burden of disease in Australia, after cancer. In 2007 CVD, which encompasses all heart and blood vessel, defects and conditions (e.g. stroke, heart attack) attributed to over a third of all deaths in Australia. It was the primary cause of death for over 46,623 Australians in that year. The prevalence of CVD in Australia is closely linked to the age of individuals, as the age of an individual increases the prevalence of CVD also trends upwards.…

    Public health promotes healthy living for each community through epidemiology. Disease prevention and control is the common goal of epidemiology, nursing practice, and public health. “Epidemiology is the study of the population in order to monitor the health of the population, understand the determinants of health and disease in the community, and investigate and evaluate interventions to prevent disease and maintain health” (Stanhope & Lancaster. 2008). Epidemiologists have developed many parameters to slow the spread of disease. For example, cardiovascular disease including hypertension, coronary heart disease, and rhythmic disorders have become increasingly common with advancing age across the country.…

    Exercise has a major impact on the cardiovascular system and its efficiency in the human body. There are many concepts which need to be examined to understand exercise and the cardiovascular system, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and physiological pathways. According to the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation, exercise provides a change in the effectiveness of the cardiovascular system, whether over a short or long period of time (Lamotte et al. 2009).…

    Five thousand patients of atheromatous heart disease, presented as angina pectoris, were studied over a period of five years. After adding the “Husk of Isabgol” and “Aloe vera” (an indigenous plant known as ghee-guar-ka-paththa) to the diet, a marked reduction in total serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, fasting and post parandial blood sugar level in diabetic patients, total lipids and also increase in HDL were noted. Simultaneously the clinical profile of these patients showed reduction in the frequency of anginal attacks and gradually, the drugs, like verapamil, nifedipine, beta-blockers and nitrates, were tapered. The patients, most benefitted, were diabetics (without adding any antidiabetic drug). The exact mechanism of the action of the above two substances is not known, but it appears, that probably they act by their high fibre contents. Both these substances need further evaluation. The most interesting aspect of the study was that no untoward side effect was noted and all the five thousand patients are surviving till date.…
