creasing. In this study, researchers evaluated

ifornia health system. From 1998 to 2008, approximately 46,000 patients were hospitalized for heart attacks. After an initial increase for the first two years of the study, the number of heart attacks decreased by 25 percent between 2000 and 2008. Researchers also noted an even
more dramatic 62 percent decrease in the most deadly form of heart at- tacks, which is classified on the ba- sis of EKG changes and referred to as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Tis information is nothing short

of incredible. Not only did the inci- dence of heart attacks decrease, but so too did the mortality rate. Tis particularly applied to mild heart at- tacks in which deaths within 30 days of hospitalization decreased from 10 percent to 7 percent. Unfortunately, for those admitted
with the more serious ST segment elevation heart attacks, no improve- ment in risk of deaths was noted. Tere are many reasons behind

this marked improvement in heart health. In the last decade, physi- cians have placed a strong emphasis on treating risk factors for heart at- tacks for patients who have recovered from an attack and those who have never had one. Simultaneously, there has been a major education effort to reduce heart disease, promote heart healthy living and minimize commu- nity health risk factors for disease. In addition to the general trends to
promote heart health, between 1999 and 2008, the Kaiser Permanente

system began to emphasize preven- tion and appropriate treatment of risk factors. For example, the percentage of Kai-
ser patients with hypertension who were treated to achieve target blood pressure increased from 40 percent in 1999 to 80 percent in 2008. Te percentage of people who received ad- equate treatment for elevated choles- terol increased from 67 percent to 76 percent during the same period. For patients who had heart attacks
or coronary artery disease, the percent- age receiving the most ideal course of treatment increased from 10 percent to 20 percent to about 35 percent. Tis includes the use of aspirin or
Plavix to reduce the risk of arterial blockage and the use of ACE inhibi- tors and beta blockers, which have been shown to be highly effective in preventing further heart attacks or heart failure. Te key to reducing heart attacks is
simple and proven: prevention. With compulsive screening for risk factors and treatment when appropriate, we can reduce the incidence of heart at- tacks and potentially save millions of American lives. Fortunately, screening for risk fac-
tors of heart attacks is relatively simple. From age 30 on, measure your blood pressure annually. Measure your cho- lesterol levels every five years until age
50, and more frequently thereafter. Live a heart-healthy lifestyle that in- cludes exercise, eating right and con- trolling stress. If you have had a heart attack, make sure that all risk factors are treated. For more information on healthy
living habits, visit North Buncombe Family Medicine.
