We all know somebody who suffers from heart disease or who has died from it, including members of our own families. Heart disease is our modern plague. We hear about it in the popular media, every time we see a doctor, every time we talk to friends and neighbours, and every time we buy our food. It has become a background noise for many of us, so we don’t stop and think: what on earth is heart disease and should I be concerned about it?
People may suffer from many different heart problems, such as rheumatic fever, congenital heart defects, infections, tumours, heart muscle disorders, injury, damage from drugs and other toxins, genetic disorders, and heart failure. However, when people talk about “heart disease”, what they mean is Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Why? Because it is the number one killer in the Western world: more than a third of people in developed countries die from CHD. The majority of people with heart problems have got this particular problem. Despite the fact that the death rate from CHD has reduced somewhat in the last 15 years, the number of people falling prey to the disease is still growing. And yet at the beginning of the 20th century CHD was so rare that it was not described in major medical textbooks because doctors virtually never saw it. Today almost 3 million people in the UK have this disease, in the USA more than 2,500 people die from heart disease each day, in Australia it claims around 50,000 lives per year and similar numbers are published in many other developed countries of the world.”
