How Can a Heart Attack Be Prevented?

Lowering your risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) can help you prevent a heart attack. (For more information about risk factors, go to "Who Is at Risk for a Heart Attack?")
Even if you already have CHD, you can still take steps to lower your risk for a heart attack. These steps involve following a heart healthy lifestyle and getting ongoing care.

Heart Healthy Lifestyle

Following a healthy diet is an important part of a heart healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It also includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, and fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products. A healthy diet is low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium (salt), and added sugars.
For more information about following a healthy diet, go to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI's) Aim for a Healthy Weight Web site, "Your Guide to a Healthy Heart," and "Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH." All of these resources provide general information about healthy eating.
If you're overweight or obese, work with your doctor to create a reasonable weight-loss plan that involves diet and physical activity. Controlling your weight helps you control risk factors for CHD and heart attack.
Be as physically active as you can. Physical activity can improve your fitness level and your health. Talk with your doctor about what types of activity are safe for you.
For more information about physical activity, go to the Diseases and Conditions Index (DCI) Physical Activity and Your Heart article and the NHLBI's "Your Guide to Physical Activity and Your Heart."
If you smoke, quit. Smoking can raise your risk of CHD and heart attack. Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke. For more information about quitting smoking, go to the DCI Smoking and Your Heart article.

Ongoing Care

Treat Related Conditions

Treating conditions that make a heart attack more likely also can help lower your risk for a heart attack. These conditions may include:

• High blood cholesterol. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to lower your cholesterol if diet and exercise aren't enough.
• High blood pressure. You doctor may prescribe medicine to keep your blood pressure under control.
• Diabetes (high blood sugar). If you have diabetes, try to control your blood sugar level through diet and physical activity (as your doctor recommends). If needed, take medicine as prescribed.

Have an Emergency Action Plan

Make sure that you have an emergency action plan in case you or someone in your family has a heart attack. This is very important if you're at high risk for a heart attack or have already had a heart attack.
Talk with your doctor about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, when you should call 9–1–1, and steps you can take while waiting for medical help to arrive.

सात विश्व सम्पदाहरु कालोसूचिमा पर्ने खतरा

 

काठमाडौं, माघ २२ – विश्व सम्पदा सूचिमा रहेका राजधानीका सातैवटा सम्पदाहरु कालोसूचिमा पर्ने खतरा बढेको छ । पछिल्लो समयमा ती सम्पदाहरुले अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मापदण्ड पूरा गर्न नसकेपछि संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघीय शैक्षिक, वैज्ञानिक तथा सांस्कृतिक संगठन –युनेस्को)ले कालोसूचिमा राख्ने खतरा बढेको हो ।

काठमाडौं उपत्यकामा रहेको हनुमान ढोका, स्वयम्भु, चाँगुनारायण, भक्तपुर दरबार स्केवर, पाटन दरबार स्केवर, बौद्ध र पशुपति गरी सातवटा स्थानहरु सम्पदा सूचिमा रहेका छन् । कुनै पनि क्षेत्र विश्व सम्पदा क्षेत्रमा सूचिकृत हुनका लागि युनेस्कोले तय गरेको अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मापदण्डहरु अवलम्बन गर्नु पर्ने हुन्छ । युनेस्केको मापदण्डमा विश्व सम्पदन स्थलको सूचिमा रहेका स्थलहरुमा कुनै सभासमारोह गर्न नपाइने, सवारी प्रवेशलाई रोक्नुपर्ने, सम्पदालाई खण्डीकरण गर्ने गरी सडक लगायतका कामहरु गर्न नहुने, तारहरुलाई जमिनमूनिबाट लानु पर्ने लगायतका मापदण्डहरु उल्लेख गरिएको छ । तर, राजधानीका सम्पदाहरुले ती मापदण्डहरु पूरा गर्न सकेका छैनन् जसलाई स्वयं सम्बद्ध निकायहरुले पनि स्वीकारेका छन् ।

युनेस्कोले विभिन्न समयमा विभिन्न कारण देखाउँदै ती सम्पदाहरुलाई खतराको सूचिमा राखेको थियो । सन् २००३ मा पनि युनेस्कोले सातैवटा सम्पदा क्षेत्रलाई खतराको सूचिमा राखेको थियो । पछि सन् २००७ मा तिनीहरुलाई खतराको सूचिबाट हटाइएको थियो ।

Keeping blood pressure in check

FEB 03 - Even with a plethora of drugs available to normalise blood pressure today, there are still many at increased risk of disease, disability and premature death

Since the start of the 21st century, people all around the world have made great progress in controlling high blood pressure, though it remains a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure and kidney disease. But even with a plethora of drugs available to normalise blood pressure, there are still many at increased risk of disease, disability and premature death. Hypertension experts offer a few common, and correctable, reasons:

—Many affected adults don’t know they have high blood pressure, perhaps because they never or rarely see a doctor who checks their pressure.
—Of the rest who are aware of their condition, some don’t appreciate how serious it can be and fail to get treated, even when their doctors say they should.
—Some who have been treated develop bothersome side effects, causing them to abandon therapy or to use it haphazardly.
—Many others do little to change lifestyle factors, like obesity, lack of exercise and a high-salt diet.
Dr Samuel J Mann, a hypertension specialist and professor of clinical medicine at Weill-Cornell Medical College, adds another factor that may be the most important. Of those with hypertension who are currently being treated, too many are taking the wrong drugs or the wrong dosages. Mann, author of Hypertension and You: Old Drugs, New Drugs, and the Right Drugs for Your High Blood Pressure, says that doctors should take into account the underlying causes of each patient’s blood pressure problem and the side effects that may prompt patients to abandon therapy. He has found that when treatment is tailored to the individual, nearly all cases of high blood pressure can be brought and kept under control with available drugs.
Plus, he adds, it can be done with minimal side effects and at a reasonable cost. “For most people, no new drugs need to be developed,” Mann says. “What we need, in terms of medication, is already out there. We just need to use it better.” The trick to prescribing the best treatment for each patient is to first determine which of three mechanisms, or combination of mechanisms, is responsible for the hypertension—salt-sensitive hypertension , hypertension driven by the kidney hormone rennin, or neurogenic hypertension.
According to Mann, neurogenic hypertension results from repressed emotions. He has found that many patients with it suffered trauma early in life or abuse. They seem calm and content on the surface but continually suppress their distress, he says.
One of Mann’s patients had had high blood pressure since her late 20s that remained well-controlled by the three drugs her family doctor prescribed. Then in her 40s, periodic checks showed it was often too high. When taking more of the prescribed medication did not result in lasting control, she sought Mann’s help.
After a thorough work-up, he said she had a textbook case of neurogenic hypertension, was taking too much medication and needed different drugs. Her condition soon became far better managed, and she no longer feared she would die young of a heart attack or stroke.
But most patients should not have to consult a specialist. They can be well-treated by an internist or family physician who approaches the condition systematically, Mann says. Patients should be started on low doses of one or more drugs, including a diuretic; the dosage or number of drugs can be slowly increased as needed to achieve a normal pressure.
Specialists, he says, are most useful for patients with so-called resistant hypertension that remains uncontrolled despite treatment with three drugs and for those whose treatment is effective but causing distressing side effects. Hypertension often fails to respond to routine care, he notes, because it results from an underlying medical problem that needs to be addressed.
“Some patients are on a lot of blood pressure drugs—four or five—who probably don’t need so many, and if they do, the question is why,” Mann says.

Representative row delays closed session

HETAUDA, FEB 03 - The closed session of the UCPN (Maoist)’s General Convention was delayed for hours on Sunday following a dispute between top leaders over nomination of representatives and observers to the party’s decision making body.
After tough discussions, top leaders were able to resolve the row over convention representatives and delegates of some regions on Sunday evening. There were disagreements over representatives to be selected from Bhojpura, Tharuwan, Mithila state and districts including Bara, Parsa and Rautahat. By the time the Post went to press, it was not clear which top leaders prevailed in securing how many delegates. However, party insiders said Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal commands a strong majority among the 3,500 delegates attending the closed session. Hundreds of party workers were visibly tired and frustrated as they waited for the session to begin. It started at 6:45 pm, seven hours behind schedule. Party Spokesperson Agni Sapkota claimed that the session was delayed due to technical glitches in printing and distribution of identity cards for the delegates. Logistical problems were visible on the identity cards as the party dispatched its state committee chiefs to identify and escort their delegates to the hall at the Hetauda Industrial Area. The well-decorated stage for the closed session had a portrait of Dahal hanging on its wall alongside other communist leaders of the world.
A political document was tabled by Dahal at the session on Sunday night, where he prescribed a capitalist revolution by mobilising youths in the production sector. The document distributed to the delegates on Sunday was not new. It was already covered by the media in Kathmandu last month.
The paper suggests the line of peace, constitution and economic development as immediate priorities of the party. So far, there are no dissenting papers on the chairman’s document.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai and his faction is likely to assert ownership of the political line during the discussions. Another Vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha has threatened to bring out a separate document if Dahal’s document fails to incorporate issues related to ‘national independence.’
The chairman’s document has come under fire from an influential group of leaders and cadres attending the jamboree for remaining silent on ‘Indian intervention.’
The session is scheduled to endorse a ‘peace-era policy’ for the former rebel party. Delegates from districts, who waited for hours for the session to begin were critical of the ‘lavish lifestyle’ and ‘failure’ of their leaders.
“Our leaders are becoming more corrupt by the day. The party has almost forgotten the harsh struggle and leaders are now concerned about their individual prosperity,” lamented a delegate from Kalikot district.
“This delay in the closed session is proof of the growing factionalism in the party,” he added. The delegates also expressed dissatisfaction over the Rs 5,000 levy charged by the party for each of the representatives and observers.
“The amount is way too expensive for many of us,” said a representative of the party’s sister organisation, the Revolutionary Journalist Association.

कतारमा वृद्धि

 
»

दोहा, माघ २१ - शुक्रबार दोहाको तरबार गेटको मैदानमा पाइला राख्ने ठाउँ थिएन । हरेक शुक्रबार हुने यस्तो भेटघाटमा यसपटक चर्चाको विषय तलब वृद्धि र त्यसको प्रभाव थियो । यसै साता कतारमा काम गर्न जाने नेपाली कामदारको तलब बढेपछि सबैको आ-आफ्नै तर्क थिए ।

Qatar

त्यसै सेरोफेरोमा भेट्टएि, ५३ वषर्ीय तेलबहादुर कनौजे । रामपुर पाल्पाका कनौजे भर्खर बिदा सकेर फिरेका हुन् । आफ्ना छिमेकी ३० वषर्ीय समन्त परियारलाई घरबाट पठाइदिएका कोसेली दिन तरबार गेट छिरेका कनौजेलाई तलब वृद्धिले खासै उत्साहित बनाएको थिएन । 'हामीलाई पनि लागू होला र ?' १६ वर्षदेखि कतारी भूमिमा पसिना बगाएका उनको जिज्ञासा थियो, 'नयाँलाई मात्रै हो कि कतारमा काम गरिराख्ने पुरानालाई पनि हो ?'
कतारस्थित नेपाली दूतावासले २८ जनवरीबाट नयाँ तोकिएको तलब दिने कम्पनीहरूलाई मात्रै कामदार ल्याउन अनुमति दिन थालेको छ । '२८ जनवरीअघि पनि नयाँ निर्णयलाई मान्ने गरी कम्पनीले मागपत्र ल्याएका थिए', दूतावासका उपनियोग प्रमुख ऋषिराम घिमिरेले भने, 'औपचारिक रूपमा भने सोमबारबाट लागू गरिएको हो ।'
युनियन कतार इजिन्नीयरिङ एन्ड कन्स्ट्रक्सन कम्पनीेले न्यूनतम तलब ९ सय र खानाबापत तीन सय गरी डिमान्डपत्र आएकोमा कामदार ल्याउन स्वीकृति दिएको घिमिरेले बताए ।
'हाम्रो निर्णय कतार सरकारलाई जानकारी दिइसकेका छौं,' राजदूत मायाकुमारी शर्माले कान्तिपुरलाई भनिन्, 'अब योभन्दा तल आउनेलाई अनुमति दिँूदैन ।' कतारका लागि सरकारले तीन वर्षपछि अर्को तलबमान तोकेको हो ।
कतारको बढ््दो महँगी र न्यून आम्दानीले गर्दा बचत गर्न कठिन भइरहेको कामदार बताउँछन् । 'मलाई कतार आउन एक लाख रुपैयाँ लगानी गर्नुपर्‍यो । उता सात सय ५० दिन्छु भन्थ्यो । यता ६ सय हात पर्‍यो,' २४ वर्षीय राज खानले भने, 'ब्याज र साँवा तिर्न मलाई पूरै एक वर्ष लाग्यो । १८ महिना हुन लागिसक्यो । बचत राम्रो हुन सकेको छैन ।' कामदारका बुझाइमा न्यूनतम तलब वृद्धिले अब ओभरटाइममा पनि वृद्धि हुनेछ ।
नयाँ तलबमान लागू भएपछि नेपाली व्यवसायी भने आत्तिएका छन । उनीहरूले सोमबारै दूतावास पुगेर उक्त व्यवस्था नेपाली व्यवसायीका लागि मात्रै भएको हो वा सबैका लागि भनेर जिज्ञासा राखेका थिए । नेपाली व्यवसायीको लागि मात्रै लागू हुने गलत बुझाइमा परेका व्यवसायीहरूलाई राजदूत शर्माले भने, 'जसले नेपाली कामदार ल्याउँछन्् । तिनीहरू सबैका लागि यो नियम लागू हुन्छ ।'
पुराना कामदारलाई भने नवीकरण गर्ने बेला बढेको तलब दिनुपर्नेछ । कामदारलाई आपूर्ति गरेर नाफा कमाउने व्यवसायी नयाँ व्यवस्थाबाट बढी डराएका छन्् । व्यवसायी नरेन्द्र भाटको अनुभवमा ठूलाठूला कम्पनीले कामदार घटाइरहेको, नयाँ काम खुली नसकेको र यहाँको सरकारले बजेट नछुट््याएको अवस्थामा नयाँ नियम ल्याउँदा असजिलो स्थिति आउने आशंका छ । 'अहिलेको अवस्थामा ८० प्रतिशत कम्पनीले नयाँ र पुराना दुवैलाई बढेको तलब दिन सक्ने अवस्था छैन,' उनले भने, 'मेरो कुरो गर्दा अहिलेको अवस्थामा बढेको तलब दिन असमर्थ छु ।'
तीन वर्षअघि असाध्यै कम तलब पाइरहेको अवस्थामा तत्कालीन राजदूत सूर्यनाथ मिश्रले नेपाल सरकारको सहमतिबेगर एकतर्फी रूपमा तलब बढाइदिए । त्यतिखेर सरकारबाटै फिर्ता हुनसक्ने जोखिम मोलेर गरिएको श्रमिकमैत्री निर्णयलाई सरकारले कायान्वयन गर्‍यो ।
त्यतिखेर विशेषगरी स्वदेशी/विदेशी व्यवसायीले हल्ला फिँजाएका थिए, 'लौ अब कतारमा नेपाली कामदारको संख्या ह्वातै घट््नेछ ।' त्यो हल्ला निराधार भएको छ । बरु उल्टै कामदार बढेको बढ्यै छन् । अहिले कतार नेपालीको पहिलो गन्तव्य बनेको छ । तर अझै पनि नेपालीको तलबमान अन्य देशका भन्दा कम हो ।
'म कारपेन्टर काम गर्छु । मेरो तलब १ हजार ५ सय ५५ छ । मेरा साथीहरू भारतीय र फिलिपिन्सका छन्् । उनीहरू २ हजार ६ सय तलब बुझ्छन््,' तेलबहादुर कनौजे भन्छन््, 'काममा कुनै फरक छैन । अझ मभन्दा कम गर्छन् ।'
राजदूत शर्माका अनुसार नयाँ तलबमान लागू गराउने मुख्य चुनौती दोहोरो श्रम सम्झौता हो । 'दोहोरो श्रम सम्झौता बनाएर कामदारलाई तलबमा झुक्काउने एउटा समस्या छ,' उनले भनिन्, 'तर, कामदारलाई सचेत बनाउन जरुरी छ ।'
