Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 02:29PM A study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), April 1, 2004, questioned the importance of the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test as a predictor of heart disease. There have been more than 20 studies showing the importance of the CRP test. More than half show high CRP levels predict a 100% increased risk of heart attack.
Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 12:54PM In the past heart attacks or heart disease were considered to affect men more than women. So women usually received less aggressive treatment and were referred for diagnostic tests less often than men. Unfortunately this meant that when women were diagnosed with heart disease it was usually more advanced and their prognosis was poorer. It is now known that cardiovascular disease affects more women than men. Further, cardiovascular disease in women contributes 40% of all deaths in American women.

February's program will be on Heart Health. It is sure to be an interesting program filled with information for the listener to be able to make better choices in their lives with the intention of increasing the life of their heart or decreasing the possibility of a heart attack.
