A new study found that people who took enhanced medicine and
healthcare treatment have survived from heart attacks. This study was published
in the American Medical Association, and noted that the hospitals and clinics
follow confirmed guidelines for treating heart attacks chest pains, results
will end with more patients surviving from heart attacks. There were 44,372
participants who have been tested between July 1999 and December 2006 at 113
hospitals in 14 countries.

 The study which done by Dr.
Keith Fox, a professor of cardiology at the University of Edinburgh in Britain,
tested the reflection of patients when they are treated with the latest
guideline for heart attacks treatment.

 The results showed that
heart attack could be avoided dramatically. Also the trials founded that the
faster the condition treated the better the results. For example, treating a
blocked artery quickly with angioplasty, will lead to better results.  Angioplasty is recommended by many heart
health organizations to be taken within 90 minutes of entering the hospital.

 The results data showed that
there is a major decrease in the number of deaths due to heart attacks and
other heart diseases in the hospitals and also there is a decrease in heart
stroke and heart failure conditions. The results varied from condition to
other, but the most decrease appeared in Deaths from ST-elevation heart attack
which dropped to around 4.6 in the year 2006.

 Researches credited the developments in
treatment results to better use of drugs such as beta-blockers,
cholesterol-lowering statins, ACE inhibitors, anti-clotting drugs, blood
thinners and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, that are used to treat chest
pains. Also Angioplasty was used in 2006 by two thirds of the patients which
reduced the figures of deaths by 18 percent.

 The settlement of better heart attack
treatment lasted, the study found, with the percentages of death and stroke dropping
six months after treatment.

A new study showed that job may increase the risk of
developing some heart diseases such as coronary heart disease. This study was
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

 As Dr. Chantal
Brisson from Universite Laval in Quebec noted that (This research is the first
time that the result of stressful job has been considered in a large number of
men and women of different ages who have returned to work after a first heart
attack). Many early studies for heart diseases and attack have focused on the
result of medical factors or individual characteristics including lifestyle. However,
the effect of work environment has rarely been researched.

This study involved 972 participants (from 35 to 59 years of
age). Those participants had experienced a first MI and were tracked for ten
years approximately. Job Strain was evaluated through interviews performed at
baseline, a few weeks after returning to work and at the second and the sixth
years.

 Work strain was based on two
parameters: psychological stress and decision latitude. High work strain was
cleared as high psychological stress and low decision latitude. The major focus
was on the event of CHD in participants with and without chronic work strain,
defined as high strain on the first two interviews

 The results showed that a total of
206 patients experienced the combined outcome of fatal Coronary Heart Disease,
nonfatal heart attack, or unstable angina. The study suggest to reduce the job
stress to reduce the risk of developing heart diseases, Specially for those
returned to work after a first heart attack.
