"Heart Disease-knowing more about your medications".
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) or heart disease is not a singledisease or condition. Collectively, it is a group of different disorders that affect your heart and or the blood vessels orvascular system. These abnormalities may be caused by degenerativechanges in the blood vessels, extraneous infections, or congenitaldefects. Common types of cardiovascular disease include:
Atherosclerosis,
Hypertension,
Coronary Heart Disease, frequently accompanied by angina,
Heart Attack,
Stroke,
Heart failure,
Congenital Heart Disease,
Arrhythmias.
Heart disease is the second top killer in Singapore, accounting for 25% of our total deaths in the year 2000.
According to Ministry of Health's 2004 statistics, heart disease(ischaemic heart disease) is ranked third most common reason forhospitalization, after cancer. Many heart patients return home after being discharged from hospitals but continuing care e.g.medications, changes in lifestyle, diet and managing stress isnecessary to better manage their heart conditions.
The principal causes of death due to heart diseases are rank number sixth killer in Singapore in 2004, as reported in Health FactsSingapore 2005.
Medications form the integral part of cardiovascular medicine ofheart disease management and together with lifestyle modifications and various treatment modalities; one can reduce the risk of a firstor repeat heart events that can be detrimental to health. Multiple medications are often needed to control symptoms and risk factors.Therefore, a better understanding of current medications you are consuming may assist in better managing of disease condition andwhich may translate into better quality of life.

I am a growing a glorious garden
[Jack Prelutsky]
I am growing a glorious garden,<>
Resplendent with trumpet and flutes,>
I’m pruning euphonium bushes,
I am watering piccolo shoots,
my tubas and tambourines flourish,
Surrounded by saxophone reeds,
I am planting trombones and pianos,
And sowing sweet sousaphone seeds.
<>Staid oboes in orderly rows,
>There are flowering fifes and violas
In the glade where the glockenspiel grows,
There are gongs and guitars in abundance,
There are violins high in the vine,
An arbor of harps by the bower
Where the cellos and clarinets twine. <>
My bassoons are beginning to blossom,>
As my zithers and mandolins bloom,
My castanets happily chatter,
My kettledrums merrily boom,
The banjos that branch by the bugles
Play counterpoint with a kazoo,
Come visit my glorious garden
And hear it play music for you.
