Miscarriage

Apparently, abortion associated with a history of cardiovascular disease in later life Moms. The new findings show the relationship of both.

Researchers in England found that women who miscarried twice before their first child, higher-than-average chance of suffering from heart disease.

"This risk is higher in women who had miscarried three times before giving birth, " said Dr. Gordon Smith and colleagues empirically Cambridge University, as quoted from Health24, Tuesday (15/02/2011).

For now, Dr. Smith said the research can not be used to help women reduce the risk of repeated miscarriages.

He emphasized that the results of the study may serve as a guide for researchers to study how genes are related to the parents of the child as the problem of heart disease and miscarriage.

Research

Dr. Smith and his team studied nearly 130,000 women in Scotland. They showed that women who frequent miscarriages tend to have heart problems in the elderly.

These results led the researchers to find out if the woman who has cardiovascular disease risk also tend to have a family history of cardiovascular disease, which would confirm its genetic linkage.

Then, the researchers looked at data on nearly 75,000 women who delivered their first child between the years 1992-2006, along with medical information about parents thirds of women.

The result, compared with women who give birth without prior miscarriage, the woman who had two miscarriages, probably 25 percent were hospitalized or deceased due to heart disease.

And when a woman experienced three miscarriages before giving birth to first child, they are probably 56 percent suffer from severe heart disease.

Other factors

In the study, other factors such as income, education, and whether she smoked during her first pregnancy was not described his relationship with the risk of heart disease and miscarriage.

"In early pregnancy, the cardiovascular system do more to ensure safe pregnancy. Some types of hidden heart problems, certainly influence this process," said Dr. Smith.

"If we can identify one or more genes involved, chances are we can identify the mechanism and identifying the medication," said Dr. Smith.

Not only benefit the vitality and stamina, regular vitamin intake can prevent certain diseases to maintain. One of them heart disease.

Vitamins are essential nutrients without the calories and necessary for human metabolism. Vitamins can not be produced by the human body, but food is obtained from daily activities. The specific function of vitamin is a cofactor (helper component) for enzymatic reactions.

Vitamins also play a role in various other body functions, including regeneration of the skin, eyes, nervous, immune and blood clotting. The body has a different amount for each vitamin. Every person has different vitamin requirements.

Recent research shows that eating regular multivitamin may help women without heart disease to heart attacks. However, the effectiveness of vitamin pills does not appear to be influential in women who had suffered from heart disease. The study was conducted by Dr. Susanne Rautiainen and colleagues at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.

These findings do not answer the question of whether vitamin useful as prevention of disease. "It is important to remember that multivitamin users tend to be healthier in general. They usually will reduce smoking, more physically active and have a healthy diet," says Rautiainen.

"Even if we are audited by a number of factors associated with healthy behaviors, we can not exclude that our healthy lifestyle through multivitamins pengonsumsian measure," he said as quoted by Reuters. Known, about half of American adults reported that a multivitamin regularly.

Rautiainen and colleagues mention in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in industrialized countries, widespread use of multivitamins. While the conventional wisdom in these countries is that taking vitamins can help prevent heart disease. The researchers found that in fact there is little evidence to support this claim.

Determining the relationship between the use of vitamins and cardiovascular disease in women, Rautiainen's team 31 671 women without a history of heart disease and 2262 women who have heart disease for 10 years. The women were aged 49 to 83 years in the early days of the investigation, and about 60 percent in each group using different species of the same food.

During the observed period, 932 heart attacks occurred in the group of women with no history of cardiovascular disease, while 269 women with heart disease also had a heart attack. Among the women who initially did not have heart disease and do not include food, 3.4 percent of them had a heart attack, compared with 2.6 percent of women who have multivitamins plus other supplements.

This translates into the risk of a heart attack about 27 percent lower for women vitamins. Meanwhile, in women with heart disease, 13 percent of those not using the vitamins had a heart attack, compared with 14 percent of the women who took multivitamins. This result is not significantly different (means could be due to chance).

For women without cardiovascular disease at baseline, taking a multivitamin is less than five years may reduce risk of heart attack by 18 percent compared with non-users of supplements. While users of vitamins for 10 years or more will reduce the risk by 41 percent.

Previously, other studies produced similar findings that the consumption of vitamins to prevent cardiovascular disease. Heart health, as you often hear, depending on the decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). But now, the recommendations are not that simple.

Recent findings indicate that cholesterol is part of a double action. And vitamin tablets, according to the findings of this study can be used as a new treatment for heart disease. The researchers found that a twin brother known as LDL lipoprotein has (a) the risk of cardiovascular disease may increase. Having LDL and Lp (a) would double the risk and the risk of clogged arteries.
