	Research to the heart of the matter
		In 1897, William Osler--often called the father of internal medicine--described the typical heart disease patient as "a keen and ambitious man, the indicator of whose engine is always at 'full speed ahead.'" In the 1950s, cardiologists Meyer Friedman, MD, and Ray Rosenman, MD, began their work connecting Type-A traits--free-floating hostility, impatience and insecurity--with cardiovascular disease.
		In a study of 896 heart attack sufferers, for instance, psychologist Nancy Frasure-Smith, PhD, found that patients who were depressed were three times more likely to die in the year following their heart attack than those who were not depressed, regardless of how severe their initial heart disease was.
		Currently in the follow-up stage, the trial randomly assigned about 2,600 heart attack patients to receive treatment as usual or a cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention targeting social isolation and major and minor depression, whether it was related to the illness or other aspects of patients' lives.

	the heart of the matter
		Heart disease, though not the killer it is in human medicine, nevertheless constitutes a major cause of disease and, ultimately, death in pet animals.
		This is, by far, the largest group of heart diseases, and constitute a host of problems which develop in the older puppy and mature dog, including such entities as heart murmurs, cardiomyopathy, alteration in the heart rhythm and heart failure.
		One should also know the common signs of heart disease, and be on the lookout for easily provoked, or chronic cough, especially after exercising, weakness, easy fatiguability, listlessness, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the membranes of the mouth and tongue) and unexplained swellings of the legs or abdomen.

	Epworth's bright sparks get to the heart of the matter - theage.com.au
		Often this might be caused by a short circuit in the electrical signal that keeps the heart beating regularly.
		Dr Sparks said that by sliding a catheter in through the patient's groin and up the veins to the heart, cardiologists could get a bullseye on the short circuit, which could be a piece of heart muscle as tiny as a hair just a few millimetres long.
		With a mild burst of electricity, they burn out the short circuit so the signal sent by the heart's in-built pacemaker, a spark plug-like point called the sinus node, spreads normally through the heart muscle and keeps everything in a nice, natural rhythm of 60 to 80 beats a minute when resting.

		In 1978, shortly after his first heart attack, when the gravity of his condition had become apparent, Cheney quit smoking cigarettes, at least for a time (he had taken up the habit in his late teens and at its peak smoked three packs a day).
		In June of 2001 a thirty-four-hour electrocardiogram demonstrated an abnormal heart rhythm; at the end of that month his doctors implanted under the skin of his chest a cardioverter defibrillator, which shocks the heart back into a normal rhythm in the event of a potentially deadly arrhythmia.
		Five of the seven cardiologists felt that so long as the subject had no evidence of impaired blood flow to his heart (a condition that would be easily determined by a cardiac stress test), the decision to stay on the job was really a matter of personal choice.

		With excess thyroid hormones in the body, a heart rate of greater than 90 beats per minute (tachycardia) is common, even at rest and when asleep.

		The heart pumps blood around the body through the blood vessels, acts as a transport system delivering oxygen and nutrients from food to the cells, and removes waste products to the lungs and kidneys for excretion.
		Reducing the risk factors for cardiovascular disease is essential to reducing the risk of heart attack.
		Besides asprin, medications to regulate the heart rate and strength are often necessary - for example, beta blockers such as atenolol and metoprolol.

		Most of the emphasis on the heart -- on caring, on a relevant curriculum for kids and individualized instruction and appropriate placement of students in classrooms -- comes from within schools.
		For example, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, faculty members are involved in selecting a new dean, and in all matters of budget, curriculum, selection of faculty, and admission of students.
		There's a wonderful phrase from Goethe, "Things which matter most should never be left at the mercy of things which matter least." In schools, a lot of things which matter least -- much testing, paperwork, lunch money, bus schedules -- are getting in the way of things that matter most -- learning.
