15 Lifetime Risk of a Heart Attack Once you Reach 40 Men: 2 out of 3 Women 1 out of 2

16 How Common is Cardiovascular Disease? Every 40 seconds someone in the US has a heart attack Every minute someone in the US dies from a heart attack Every 40 seconds someone has a stroke Every 4 minutes someone dies from a stroke

17 Over 2,200 Americans die each day from cardiovascular disease

18 Life Expectancy with Cardiovascular Disease Average life lost because of a Heart Attack is 17 years Following a Heart Attack the average life expectancy for men is 8 years Following a Heart Attack the average life expectancy for women is 5 years

19 Women and Cardiovascular Disease More women die from Cardiovascular Disease than men 420,000 women die each year from Cardiovascular Disease 270,000 women die annually from ALL forms of cancer combined Most women are afraid of breast cancer; most are not aware that it is Cardiovascular Disease that is their biggest killer

20 Presentation of Cardiovascular Disease For 64% of women and 50% of men, the presentation of Coronary Artery Disease is either a Heart Attack or Sudden Death!

21 What do You Look Like the Day Before a Heart Attack?

22 What do You Look Like the Day Before a Heart Attack?

23 What do You Look Like the Day Before a Heart Attack?

24 So, How do You Know if You are at Risk for a Heart Attack?

25 Standard of Care Current standard of care is not optimal care. Based on the Framingham Study started in 1948 Looks at the Risk Factors for CVD in the town of 5,200 people What you should be interested in is optimal care: care based on you as an individual, not based on a population study

26 Example 50 year old man without high blood pressure, reasonable diet and exercise, no smoking, no diabetes: his 10 year risk of having a heart attack is 6%. Your physician is going to tell you you are doing well, keep it up! But this is not your personal risk based on you as an individual. If we haven t looked for evidence of arterial disease, we really don t know your individual risk. Knowing if you have arterial disease or not can drastically change your risk profile and our treatment of you.

27 Classic Risk Factors Hypertension Diabetes Cholesterol Cigarette Smoking

28 Prevalence of Major Risk Factors in Heart Attacks 3 major risk factors 8.9% 4 major risk factors 0.9% 0 major risk factors 19.4% 2 major risk factors 27.8% 62.4% have 0-1 major risk factors 4 major risk factors: hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes 1 major risk factor 43.0% Khot,U.N., Kho, M.B., Bajzer, C.T., & et al. (2003). Prevalence of conventional risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease. JAMA, 290(7),

29 Prevalence of Major Risk Factors in Heart Attacks 0 or 1 Major Risk Factors 62.4%

30 Risk for You as an Individual If we haven t looked for evidence of arterial disease, we really don t know your individual risk. Knowing if you have arterial disease or not can drastically change your risk profile and our treatment of you. All those CEOs we discussed at the beginning most likely had executive physicals and were told they were fine right before they had a heart attack or sudden death. Statistically they were not at risk; but individually they were a walking time bomb!

31 How Reliable is the Framingham Risk Score? A study of 220 young men and women with heart attacks Men less than 55; women less than 65 years old Framingham risk score type assessment MISSED 82% of the women and 66% of the men! Internal Medicine News; 9/15/2002

32 How do we Make Heart Attacks Optional? We have to go beyond the standard of care. Looking for evidence of arterial disease rather than checking a list of risk factors. A stress test isn t good enough; it only looks for disease bad enough to fix with a bypass operation or a stent. We need to know if you have mild arterial disease. It s the mild blockage with its soft, inflamed plaque that is the vulnerable blockage.

33 Why do People Not Know they have Coronary Artery Disease?

38 How can we Look for Asymptomatic Arterial Disease? Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness test Non-invasive Takes 20 minutes American Heart Association endorsed as reliable and repeatable Insurance and standard of care medicine will catch up in 20 years you may not have 20 years to wait. Knowledge is power

39 Look somewhere else for evidence of disease? The carotid arteries serve as a window to systemic atherosclerosis

40 The location of the common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements (rectangular box) is 0.5 to 1.0 cm below the bulb (vertical line). Polak J F et al. Stroke 2011;42:

56 High-risk Periodontal Pathogens Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis Periodontal disease (PD) caused by high-risk pathogens can adversely influence all elements of the atherogenic triad. Therefore, this type of PD can be considered a contributory cause of arterial disease. Bale, B. F., Doneen, A. L., & Vigerust, D. J. (2016).

90 What s the Good News?

91 We can all live a long healthy life with hardening of the arteries. What we cannot live with is soft inflamed plaque (blockages).

92 As long as that plaque doesn t act up (erode, rupture), the flow through the artery is usually adequate.

93 We now know how to keep the inflammation in the arteries under control and prevent plaque from rupturing.

94 We can monitor the inflammation with simple blood tests to make sure the arteries are staying cool.

96 You are an Individual: Genetics Dr. John Warner of the American Heart Association said his heart attack was preordained since all the men in his family died prematurely of heart attacks.

97 It ain t what you don t know that gets you into trouble. It s what you know for sure that just ain t so. Mark Twain

98 You are an Individual: Genetics : if you are heterozygous you have a 25% increased risk hardening of the arteries; if you are homozygous you have a 50% chance If you are Kif6 positive you don t respond to some statins as well, even though your cholesterol numbers drop: you don t get the full protection of the statin. gene: codes for cholesterol metabolism. Your APO E genes determine what foods are best handled by you.

99 Who Can Benefit from this Approach? If you have a family history of hardening of the arteries. If you have already had an event (heart attack, stroke, stents, bypass). If you have some of the risk factors: High blood pressure High cholesterol Diabetes Tobacco abuse Remember, 62% of the people with heart attacks have only 0-1 Risk Factor. 90% of heart attack victims had 0-2 Risk Factors
