	Researchers search for first sign of congestive heart failure
		Kapuku recently received a four-year Scientific Development Grant from the American Heart Association to look for the first time at the impact of mental stress on filling the left ventricle in hearts of young, healthy individuals.
		Kapuku was among the first to demonstrate this abnormal filling is one of the earliest expressions of heart malfunction and that this phenomenon may occur behind the façade of normal pump function and cardiac structure.
		Kapuku wants to know if this impaired ability to regulate sodium also increases the risk for the early changes in the heart's ability to fill.

	Warning Sign - Researchers Seek First Sign of Congestive Heart Failure
		Kapuku was among the first to demonstrate this abnormal filling is one of the earliest expressions of heart malfunction and that this phenomenon may occur behind the fa8Dade of normal pump function and cardiac structure.
		Kapuku is focusing on adolescents because of mounting evidence from centers such as the Georgia Prevention Institute that cardiovascular disease and related conditions such as high blood pressure begin in youth.
		Using a hypertension model developed by the institute’s director, Dr. Gregory Harshfield, Dr. Kapuku is first looking at those who might be most at risk: people with a genetic tendency to retain sodium and an elevated blood pressure following stress.

	i-Newswire.com - Press Release And News Distribution - Researchers search for first sign of congestive heart failure
		In congestive heart failure the heart - for reasons such as years of working against elevated pressures inside blood vessels - becomes oversized, inflexible and incapable of properly pumping blood to the body.
		But pumping is not the real, or at least not the first problem, Dr. Kapuku says.
		In fact, the heart is relaxed two-thirds of the time and a healthy left ventricle - which pumps blood to the body - should fill with blood during the early stage of relaxation.

	CHAPTER THREE
		The kapuku is a small mouse which hardly runs once it is flushed out of the hole.
		Its distinguishing behavioral feature is that there can be twenty-five to fifty kapuku mice in one single hole which makes the job of the hunter relatively easy.
		The tondo is perhaps the fastest mouse known in the area.

	Prevent Disease.com - Teen girls have healthier stress response than boys
		In a study of teenagers' responses to mental stress, they found that girls did not exhibit the same increase in blood pressure as did their male peers.
		The reason for this "puzzle" is unknown, Kapuku said, although it might be related to differences in hormones or a number of other pathways that influence stress reactions.
		In light of these findings, Kapuku advises that patients, especially those with heart disease, determine their doctor's knowledge of ethnic and sex differences by asking if they will receive the same treatment or if they are expected to respond to treatment in the same way as patients of the opposite sex or a different ethnicity.

	Head Start on Healthy Heart
		Kapuku is recruiting 160 teens for a four-year American Heart Association study to see if stress-induced high blood pressure impacts the heart’s ability to relax and fill with blood.
		Congestive heart failure, the inability of the heart to efficiently pump blood, results from years of working against elevated pressures inside blood vessels.
		But the heart must relax to fill with blood, and Dr. Kapuku was among the first to identify a malfunction in this process as an early sign of heart disease.
