Busted! 6 Common Heart Health Myths...

Dear Reader,

Even though the heart is one of the most important organs in the body, most of us make assumptions about it, sometimes founded on only a morsel of truth, that are dangerous to that oh-so-vital organ.

As with anything that concerns your health, knowledge is power... getting to the bottom of those popular myths, and understanding the truth, is a key to keeping your heart healthy, or recognizing signs of danger, before it's too late.

Here are six well-worn myths along with the facts to set you straight.

MYTH #1: You'd "know" if you had high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Because, after all, you do have supernatural powers, right?

Truth is, unless you get a blood pressure reading or a cholesterol test you won't know where you stand. Risks for heart disease are usually silent and symptomless... they don't call hypertension the "silent" killer for nothing. It is silent, and deadly. And even those who are thin and in shape can (and do) have high cholesterol numbers... quietly damaging the body you think is in the best of health.

MYTH #2: Heart disease treats men and women alike. We all have hearts, after all, don't we? Unfortunately heart disease affects men and women very differently; women are more likely to have less traditional heart attack symptoms than men.

In 2003, a study appearing in the journal Circulation examined the symptoms that 515 women had before a heart attack. The study found that at least a month before the attack, the women felt unusual fatigue (70%), weakness, sleep disturbances or shortness of breath (50%), and a surprising percentage (43% to be exact) had no chest pain at the time of their heart attack.

This doesn't mean you need to worry over unusual symptoms, but if you have risk factors for heart trouble, you need to pay attention to how you feel. Anything new needs to be brought to your doctor's attention.

MYTH #3: Younger women aren't at risk for heart disease. Women may think they're not vulnerable to heart problems, believing this is a problem for older people... those in their 40s and 50s also think they're safe. Yet heart disease is the number one killer of U.S. women, and not all of those patients are elderly.

What's more, risk factors like obesity, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure are showing up earlier in females, and heart disease might well follow suit. According to Rita Redberg, MD, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, men are likely to get heart attack in their mid 50s, while women are more prone to heart attack in their mid 60s.

MYTH #4: Once I have heart disease, that's it. So not true. You can make changes today that have been shown in studies to undo the damage.

It's your lifestyle, choices you make every day, that's a critical part of turning things around. Exercising, eating right (healthy, balanced meals with lots of fruits/veggies) and not smoking (and avoiding second hand smoke) are all things you can do, today, to restore your heart and keep it healthy.

MYTH #5: Exercise is too risky if you have heart disease. Nice try, but this is almost always false.

Within 2 weeks of a heart attack, patients are usually encouraged to get into rehab and start working out; very few patients have significant restrictions. And we know exercise reduces the progression of heart disease, and makes it less likely these patients will have another heart attack. Start with 10 minutes a day and work up from there, by 10 minutes a week until you're getting at least 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise on most days.

MYTH #6: Aspirin and omega-3 fatty acids do nothing but good. For the most part this is true, but there are some important caveats to the heart healthy benefits. For example, aspirin can exacerbate stomach issues and some are even allergic. In some cases the risks outweigh the potential benefit.

The American Heart Association (AHA) does recommend eating fatty fish at least two times a week, or taking up to 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids in a daily supplement. Higher doses are not better, and can cause problems.

To your good health,
