Dr. Siva speaks about Heart Disease

What is the Function of the Heart?
The function of the heart is to pump blood to the whole body. When the heart is injured, as in a heart disease, inadequate blood is pumped into the body. This results in low blood pressure, heart failure, and depressed immune system.

How We can Overcome Heart Disease?
Heart disease, which is predominantly caused by blockages in the heart blood vessels, can be overcome by improving your health. This can be achieved by exercise and proper nutrition.

What is Angioplasty and Angiogram?
Angioplasty is a procedure where a wire is inserted into the blood vessel of the heart to remove the blockages. Angiogram is the injection of dye into a blood vessel to highlight the blockages in the blood vessel.

How to Avoid a Heart Attack?
Heart attacks can be avoided by reducing the risk factors that lead to heart disease. Weight reduction, abstinence from smoking, stress-free lifestyle, reduction of stimulant intake such as caffeine, regular exercise, proper nutrition and relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, tai chi and qi gong are some healthy habits to avoid heart attacks.

Are there Any Alternatives for Bypass Operation?
Currently, heart diseases are managed by three main methods. The first intervention is medical management, second is angioplasty management and the third is bypass management. Most of the time the first two interventions are used. Bypass is initiated only when the heart disease is too severe.

Finally a magazine for senior citizens has come to the newsstand for the public to read. There are many reading materials published for children, teenagers, men and women and now, it is time to publish one for our golden people.Although this magazine is meant for the senior citizens, the articles published are for the benefit of all. All are welcomed to associate, contribute, participate and comment. The magazine is packed with a lot of information on biographies of personalities, health, travel, technology, finance & law, lifestyle and aging forums & events.

Wisdom comes with age, likewise, senior citizens’ expertise, knowledge and advice are valuable assets to the younger generation. Aging is not only a seniority of calendar years but also an accumulation of wisdom. As we advance technologically, the humanitarian aspect of helping people should not be forgotten. Progression of arts and science is the acquisition and execution of knowledge and progression of age is the combination of forbearance, righteousness and sense control which produces wisdom. Age is not confined to numbers; aging is a biological process not a psychological one.

As James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States said, “If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.” So long as your psyche is strong, you do not age.
