The center is known for literally bringing patients that have died back to life. Apparently one doctor at the center “has pioneered a way to revive people that most doctors would have long written off, including a woman whose heart had stopped for 2 1/2 hours.” They tested their technique on cardiac patients who, with any other hospital, would most likely die. The results were amazing, with an 80% survival rate. However, patients needed very quick treatment in order to be revived. Treatment consisted of: Prompt CPR — rhythmic chest compressions — to maintain blood pressure until the patient gets to a hospital. Use of a heart-lung machine to keep blood and ...

We all know that turmoil and constant marital strife can make your days seem very long and your life feel plain out miserable but it can also put you at higher risk for heart disease. In a study of 9,011 British civil servants, most of them married, those with the worst close relationships were 34 percent more likely to have heart attacks or other heart trouble during 12 years of follow-up than those with good relationships. That included partners, close relatives and friends. Being in a bad marriage proved to be a risk factor for increased heart disease but dissolving that same marriage is not exactly the answer either as non married persons proved to also be at a higher risk. Bottom line? Who the heck know...

Your own brain actually holds answers that could turn panic into peak performances.Determination is not enough to eliminate panic ... nor is venting, though. For some time,  researchers warned us that persistent panic can lead you into places of depression… and now heart attacks and stokes have been added to panic dangers.One study of 3000 participants just published in Archives of General Psychiatry reported that rapid pulse and shortness of breath that comes with panic attacks – may even signal heart trouble at a later date. Luckily, the human brai...

The German and Austrian researchers behind the study reached this conclusion after crunching the numbers for more than 23,000 kids between ages three and eighteen, comparing their health with activity levels. As you would expect, the most active kids had the healthiest hearts and lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. By comparison, thirty-six percent of children who were active only once or twice a week had high cholesterol and triglycerides. For type 1 kids, activity levels relate to HbA1c levels: fit children had lower HbA1c levels. High HbA1c levels in childhood practically...
