Why Women Live Longer
Across the globe, women still live 5 to 10 years longer than men. Founder of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University explains why 85% of people over 100 years old are women.
One large reason is the large advantage women have over men in terms of cardiovascular disease. Women develop symptoms like heart attacks and strokes usually in their 70s and 80s, compared to men who develop them in their 50s and 60s. Doctors long believed the difference was due to estrogen, but studies show that this may not be the case. (Read more about Why Women Live Longer)

What is the Polypill?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

Dr. Fuster than describes the symptoms of a heart attack and how to differentiate these symptoms from other conditions.
Most importantly, he urges viewers to pay attention to these symptoms and the importance of getting medical treatment as soon as possible, even if one has the least suspicion of a coronary incident.

What Is The Impact of Smoking on Vascular Disease?
Smoking is one of the very strong risk factors for developing vascular disease. We have seen very young people who smoke develop vascular disease. Normally as our arteries become blocked, it is a part of aging. Most of the patients with vascular disease are in the 60's, 70s and beyond. But one who smokes very heavily, someone who started smoking very early in their teens, one who smokes one or two packs a day regularly... we see that they get vascular disease 10 to 20 years earlier. Some people in their 40s have severe vascular disease. So there is no question that smoking is a strong risk factor. (Read more about What Is The Impact of Smoking on Vascular Disease?)

Women & Heart Centers
“My grandmother died at 67 of heart disease and she was a diabetic, my mother died at 59 from heart disease, my sister who was two years older than me died at 51 from heart disease, my oldest sister who is five years older than me had her first heart attack in 91,” says Cheryl Walters.
Having tragically lost so many loved ones to heart disease, Cheryl Walters refuses to be its next victim. She had a pulling sensation in her chest and was completely fatigued…doctors dismissed her complaints. But, instinctively Cheryl knew something was wrong. She went for a comprehensive heart health check-up at the Women’s Heart Center at St. Joseph’s. (Read more about Women & Heart Centers)

Work Stress and Metabolic Syndrome
It would make sense at first glance that workplace stress leads to heart disease--no surprise, right?
But the latest research shows chronic stress at work can also leads to diabetes--and that--raises eyebrows.
“Deadlines, they ask you questions all the time, is this done yet, is that done yet,” cries Esteban Chavez.
Do you ever feel like work just wants to make you scream?! (Read more about Work Stress and Metabolic Syndrome)

The term, aneurysm actually means the dilation of a segment of an artery. It is a gradual process that occurs primarily in elderly people. It doesn't really occur in young people. It's primarily an aspect of aging as well as something else that makes our arteries weak. Essentially our arteries are tube-like structures. Arteries are like pipes that carry blood to various parts of the body. The pipe becomes like a balloon because the artery weakens. This is an aneurysm .Naturally when something becomes like a balloon over the years, it becomes weaker and weaker. Eventually it can rupture. If it ruptures it is fatal. There is no chance of survival. So that is the reason why an aneurysm should be detected before the catastrophe happens. So that we can treat it.
