Schwartz also said he was not surprised to see changes in public health occur within two years of the implementation of the ban. “Cardiovascular death rates have been falling for a whole host of reasons. If you implement a policy and you implement it relatively suddenly, then the change would happen fast,” he said...
...categorized cities and towns into three groups: those that had strict smoking laws prior to 2004, those with weaker laws at that time, and those with no smoking restrictions at all. They found that cities that had already had stricter laws, such as Boston and Cambridge, experienced changes in cardiovascular fatalities earlier, corresponding to when their regulations were modified...
...Sleep is important [for everyone], from children to the elderly," Eguchi says. "But it is more important when someone has some cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension...
...study found that 99 cardiovascular events occurred among all volunteers. The incidence rate was about 33% higher among people who slept less than seven and a half hours a night and had elevated overnight blood pressure - the so-called "riser pattern" - compared with longer sleepers. But those who slept less than seven and a half hours a night yet experienced no overnight hypertension showed no increased cardiac risk; their rate of heart disease was the same as that of the long sleepers. Particularly when it comes to elderly patients, the authors write that "physicians should inquire about sleep duration...
...lead to depression and weakened immunity, according to previous research. Longer sleep is, therefore, especially vital for patients who already have high blood pressure. Maintaining a consistent sleep pattern is also important - tampering with the body's circadian rhythm is associated with a variety of hormonal, metabolic and cardiovascular problems. In late October, Swedish researchers reported that the rate of heart attacks jumped following daylight savings time shifts in the spring and fall. "Our data suggest that vulnerable people might benefit from avoiding sudden changes in their biologic rhythms," Dr. Imre Janszky of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm wrote...
