	Mode of Death From Congestive Heart Failure
		Congestive heart failure (HF) is primarily a disease of the elderly.
		In a multivariable analysis that excluded patients who did not have a known mode of death, the significant predictors of progressive or metabolic (nonarrhythmic) death were the use of inotrope (odds ratio [OR] 15.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9-83.3) and the presence of preexisting chronic renal failure (OR 8.0, 95% CI 1.4-45.1).
		We believe that prospective identification and/or stratification of HF patients at risk for metabolic death, and a greater understanding of the natural history of metabolic impairment, are key elements in choosing appropriate levels of care for those at or near the end-of-life.

	Heart Attack - Texas Heart Institute Heart Information Center
		For some people, a heart attack feels like a burning sensation, similar to indigestion or heartburn, and the pain may be in only a small area of the chest.
		The goals of heart attack treatment are to return blood flow to your heart muscle, bring back a regular heartbeat, and give your heart time to recover.
		Heart attack patients may also receive aspirin and blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants) to stop clots from forming or growing in size.

	The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen : Booksamillion.com (0385720173, Paperback)
		While her novels masquerade as witty comedies of manners, set in the lavish country houses of the Anglo-Irish or in elegant London homes, they mine the depths of private tragedy with a subtle ferocity and psychological complexity reminiscent of Henry James.
		The Death of the Heart, a story of adolescent love and the betrayal of innocence, is perhaps Bowen's best-known book.
		When sixteen-year-old Portia, recently orphaned, arrives in London and falls for an attractive cad--a seemingly carefree young man who is as much an outsider in the sophisticated and politely treacherous world of 1930s drawing rooms as she is--their collision threatens to shatter the carefully built illusions of everyone around them.

		Portia herself is the offspring of her father's late-life affair, which has forced him to leave his life of English respectability and to live abroad; there is a sense of unreliability in the bloodline.
		Even the title of the book, THE DEATH OF THE HEART, and the subtitles of its three major parts -- "The World," "The Flesh," and "The Devil" -- all seem to be leading in this direction.
