New studies help confirm emerging evidence that low-grade inflammation is a factor in the development of heart disease and diabetes. Blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) &#8211; a blood protein released by the body in response to infection and injury &#8211; increase in heart disease, according to a study of 643 women published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The authors found that higher levels of CRP were present in women who developed coronary heart disease than in those who developed cancer or didn&#8217;t develop either condition during nearly five years of follow-up. Research data published in Circulation suggest that physical fitness might have an anti-inflammatory effect that protects against heart attacks. Dr. Michael LaMonte and colleagues at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, found that women with low fitness status had significantly higher CRP levels than those in the moderate and high fitness categories. CRP was also elevated in women with the highest body mass index, an indirect measure that correlates with body fat in most people.

Heart failure patients used to be advised not to exercise, as there was a risk that the weakened heart would fail again as it would not be able to cope with the increased stress levels during exercise. However, latest research now says that it is OK for patients to exercise. Exercising three times a week for half an hour does not raise the risk of heart attack, erratic heart rhythms, chest pain of fractures. In fact, the study showed that those that exercise actually were less likely to have a heart attack or other problems and fatality rates reduced amongst those exercising. The results of the research were announced at the American Heart Association&#8217;s annual meeting in New Orleans. These finding will change attitudes of both health professionals and health/life insurers regarding physical activity for heart failure patients. Even though no previous research had determined that exercise was unsafe, it was always assumed that it would somehow lead to more problems for the patient. &#8220;The key finding is whether or not exercise is safe. It&#8217;s absolutely safe. Doctors should set up [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/heart-health/heart-patients-advised-to-exercise-more/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
