<p>Here &#097;&#114;&#101; &#115;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#097;&#108; key bits &#111;&#102; information:</p>
<p><strong>Coronary heart disease </strong>(CHD) is narrowing &#111;&#102; the small blood vessels &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; supply blood, nutrients, &#097;&#110;&#100; oxygen to the heart muscle. &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; occurs, the individual is diagnosed with coronary heart disease. &#097;&#099;&#099;&#111;&#114;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103; to the American Heart Association, 500,000 people die &#101;&#097;&#099;&#104; year &#111;&#102; heart attack &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; is caused by coronary heart disease.</p>
<p>CHD is caused by the buildup &#111;&#102; &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; fatty buildup &#097;&#110;&#100; cholesterol &#105;&#110; the wall &#111;&#102; the arteries causing hardened &#097;&#110;&#100; narrowing &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; result &#105;&#110; diminish blood supply to the heart muscle. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; condition is &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119;&#110; as atherosclerosis. The individual sometimes complain &#111;&#102; chest pain (angina) &#100;&#117;&#101; to the reduction &#111;&#102; blood flow to the heart muscle. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; is the early sign &#111;&#102; &#097; heart attack.</p>
<p><strong>A heart attack </strong>occurs &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; the blood supply to the heart muscle is completely shut &#111;&#102;&#102;. Some &#111;&#102; the symptoms include chest pain &#8212; sometimes described as pressure &#111;&#114; sharp pain &#8212; shortness &#111;&#102; breath, indigestion, nausea, &#097;&#110;&#100; pain between the shoulder blades, pain &#105;&#110; one &#111;&#114; &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; arms, pain &#105;&#110; the jaw, abdominal pain, &#097;&#110;&#100; sometimes &#099;&#111;&#108;&#100; &#111;&#114; hot sweaty skin.</p>
<p><strong>Can coronary heart disease &#098;&#101; prevented? </strong></p>
<p>The &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; &#097;&#110;&#100; most important &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; is to &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; regular appointments with &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; physician &#097;&#110;&#100; follow-up appointments especially &#105;&#102; there is &#097; family history &#111;&#102; heart disease. Change &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; lifestyle by eliminating high-fat foods &#097;&#110;&#100; include regular exercise &#105;&#110; &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; daily routine. &#102;&#111;&#114; instance, walk &#102;&#111;&#114; 30 minutes daily. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; may prove beneficial &#105;&#110; maintaining &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; ideal body weight. Take prescribed medications to control &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; blood pressure, &#097;&#110;&#100; stop smoking. You &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; know &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; cholesterol levels &#097;&#110;&#100; normal laboratory values &#102;&#111;&#114; &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; LDH, &#097;&#110;&#100; LDL. The Mayo Clinic released &#111;&#110; July 21, 2010, the normal range &#111;&#102; LDH &#097;&#110;&#100; HDL. </p>
<p>Here&#039;s &#097; look at those cholesterols:</p>
<p><strong>LDH: </strong>Lactate Dehydrogenase (the &#098;&#097;&#100; cholesterol). It&#039;s an enzyme &#102;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#100; &#105;&#110; &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; body tissues, such as the liver, kidneys, skeletal muscles, blood cells, &#097;&#110;&#100; lungs. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; enzyme carries cholesterol &#8212; &#097; wax-like substance &#8212; to &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; organs &#097;&#110;&#100; body tissue &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; is beneficial &#102;&#111;&#114; the cells. However, &#105;&#102; there is an excess, &#105;&#116; can build up &#105;&#110; the body vessel &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; cause coronary heart disease &#097;&#110;&#100; possibly &#097; heart attack. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; laboratory test is ordered to determine &#105;&#102; there is tissue &#100;&#097;&#109;&#097;&#103;&#101; to rule &#111;&#117;&#116; heart attack &#111;&#114; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; conditions. Normal LDH is 105-333 Iu/L (international units per liter). &#105;&#102; the result is elevated, &#105;&#116; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; possibly indicate &#097; heart attack.</p>
<p><strong>HDL: </strong>High-density lipoprotein (the good cholesterol). The more elevated &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; number is the &#098;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#114; &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; enzyme picks up &#097;&#110;&#100; transports excess cholesterol to the liver &#119;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#116; is metabolized. Normal range: men &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 40 mg/dL &#097;&#110;&#100; &#105;&#110; women &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 50 mg/dL.</p>
<p>If you witness an individual with any &#111;&#102; the symptoms described, you &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; phone 911 immediately. &#105;&#102; the person is unconscious, check &#102;&#111;&#114; &#097; pulse &#097;&#110;&#100; &#105;&#102; you &#097;&#114;&#101; unable to feel &#097; pulse, begin CPR immediately &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; &#097; high percentage &#111;&#102; sudden cardiac arrest victims die &#098;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#101; arriving to the hospital. Encourage friends &#097;&#110;&#100; family to enroll &#105;&#110; &#097; CPR class. &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; &#097; matter &#111;&#102; life &#111;&#114; death.</p>
