I wish I could find a home that has a quiet room where she could live out her life....whether it be day/ weeks or months. My rescue cat is totally blind [ my vet thinks it was because of untreated hyperthyroidism] and has severe heart problems.
Quality of life is the main concern for this old gal. Don't want to prolong her life if she is fearful of her surroundings and is too weak to enjoy life. She does have an appetite....but her heart makes her very lethargic. It would be too costly to take to a cardiologist ...as my vet thinks she probably needs a pace maker.
If you see a cat or dog that "doesn't seem right"...please don't look away, assuming the pet belongs to someone and it's not your problem. Strays need us and it enriches our lives to help them.

JDRF
Dedicated to Finding a Cure
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is the leader in setting the agenda for type 1 diabetes research worldwide, and is the world’s largest charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research.
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, but lasts a lifetime.
It requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, amputation, and pregnancy complications.
Being a good source of potassium, niacin, vitamin B6 and folate, apparently tomatoes are good for the heart!
I took this photo back in the autumn last year with tomatoes and oregano from the garden :-) but haven't posted it until now. Part of me is thinking maybe I should have removed the green tops so the heart was only red but I wanted it to be obvious that it is tomatoes and not just red balls LOL!
I'd like you to meet my dad.
He died very suddenly of a heart attack on the morning of 3 January 2010 aged 65. I was woken up at 6.30 am with the news and I think it was one of the the worst days of my life.
He'd had stents put in for angina and that morning, a tiny fragment of scar tissue, maybe a couple of mm across, broke free and entered his heart. I feel a mix of horror that a tiny thing could do such damage and awe that our systems work at all.
I don't need to tell you that we all miss him desperately. The hole in our lives is immense. I guess we had maybe a couple of extra years owing to the stent surgery and for that we're grateful but Calum was only 21 months when he died and his namesake, Robbie, wasn't even thought of. I am grateful he knew of Calum who was the apple of his eye but i wish he could see him, and us, now.
Please support the British Heart Foundation. They do such excellent work.

The more you can generate your heart, the more energy you will have to live and love.
Sharing time in flickr is one of the nicest things you can do in cold winter day/night. The friends that I meet in Flickr is one of the best things as well. Happy Valentine's Day to all my dear friends.
This is Derek Blalock. He is biking across America to raise money and awareness for Thomas Smith Memorial Foundation. Thomas Smith was Derek's best friend from High School. Who passed away from an undiagnosed enlarged heart. This foundation would use the money to arrange free heart screen (EKG) to catch this disease early in young adults.
According to the American Heart Association, 2,000 under 25 years of age will die every year due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Having an automated external defibrillator, or AED, is not always enough. Within minutes, a person who has suffered SCA will die, unless treated immediately. “For every minute that elapses after sudden cardiac arrest, the chances of survival diminish 10 percent,” according to Medtronic.

Since being diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) I have noticed that many people I speak to have no or little idea what this is, even though it is a fairly common condition that could affect almost any adult, regardless if you have a pre-existing heart condition or not.
The ECG (EKG) trace above was taken during one of my own AFib episodes on my Kardia mobile pocket device.
So, as part of my 'heart attack to 10K' series I have written this blog to try and raise a little bit of awareness ...

Personal heart age
One in three deaths is caused by cardiovascular disease
A coronavirus vaccination is therefore recommended for older people and people with heart disease, as flu-like infections can cause inflammation of the heart muscle.

Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of losing my beloved dog, Corky to lymphoma cancer and congestive heart disease. She was twelve years old. The BEST Veterinary specialists could not stop the progression of her diseases and I lost her too soon. Her death took me down a path of holistic and natural pet care along with being cautious about conventional veterinarians. Losing her turned my view of veterinary medicine and the pet food industry on it's head. I miss my girl. Someday we will be reunited!
Campaign group Stop Killing Cyclists stage a demo and die-in outside Conservative Party HQ calling on them to pledge to increase spending on cycling and pedestrian provision, in line with UN recommendations. The campaigners also highlighted the impact on public health of road traffic pollution - which include thousands of deaths and debilitating lung and heart diseases - and its contribution to global climate change.

Kitschy decor in a greasy spoon dinner located deep in the cattle ranch area of the panhandle of North Texas. The agriculture of death that is the cattle business has an extremely negative impact on climate change.
The slaughter of cows is nothing short of cruelty to animals, and in return (in a form of poetic justice) the consumers of beef have a high rate of cardiovascular diseases and also colon cancer.
Some study suggests that frequent consumption of nuts (including peanuts) may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease for women. Nuts are high in fat, but most of the fatty acids are unsaturated. Therefore, nuts can be included as part of a healthy diet.
Worldwide, 8.6 million women die from heart disease each year, accounting for a third of all deaths in women. Today is National Wear Red Day to raise awareness about heart disease in women. Coming from a family that has had more than it's fair share of heart problems, I know that I am at an elevated risk for heart disease. Growing up, I didn't think much about that because I was so active in soccer and ate a very healthy diet. These days? I could use a kick in the ass to get myself focusing on my heart health. And so could you.
Check out these statistics about women's heart disease. Scary.
On a side note, I love this sweatshirt. I bought it in Las Vegas on a trip with my cousin about seven years ago. In case you couldn't tell, it says England across the front. I love French Connection stuff. I bought a bunch of their FCUK shirts when I was living in London. Anyway, there you go.
Yesterday sucked balls. Today will not. I won't let it. I am bound and determined to remain in a good mood all day today. I know a lot of my friends had crappy Thursdays too and I hope that they have absolutely amazing Fridays.
TGIF!
Remember girls, that heart disease also affects the men in our lives.

"Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2009 were in men."
"High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. About half of Americans (47%) have at least one of these three risk factors.
Several other medical conditions and lifestyle choices can also put people at a higher risk for heart disease, including:

Hypertension or high blood pressure is the most common risk for cardiovascular disease among Indians followed by diabetes, tobacco use and high cholesterol, a study of outpatient care in India has found.
Of the 68,196 patients from 10 cardiology outpatient departments included in the US-led study, hypertension was present in nearly 30 percent patients.
Researchers used the American College of Cardiology's PINNACLE India Quality Improvement Program registry to examine performance measures and outline areas for further improvement in cardiovascular care delivery.
The findings suggest that despite challenges, it is feasible to collect and study the quality of outpatient cardiovascular care in a resource-limited environment like India.
"This paper demonstrates the high potential for the American College of Cardiology and the PINNACLE registry to partner with cardiologists and help them improve the quality of outpatient cardiovascular care across the globe," said one of the study authors William Oetgen, executive vice president of science, education, and quality at the American College of Cardiology, a non-profit medical society.
There is a growing burden of cardiovascular disease in India, but only limited data is available on the quality of outpatient care for patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
As the second most populous country in the world, India is experiencing an increase in the more traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease due to a rise in behavioral risk factors, including tobacco use, physical inactivity and poor diet coupled with low levels of awareness, treatment and control of risk factors, the study noted.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association . To know more visitwww.yogagurusuneelsingh.com ,www.yogahealthyatra.com Pic By Vijay Gautam

NHGRI launched the CCDG, which will use genome sequencing to explore the genomic contributions to common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and autism. Common diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The causes of these diseases can be difficult to decipher because they result from a complex combination of genomic influences and environmental factors. The CCDG represents an important step in the evolution of NHGRI's long-standing, flagship Genome Sequencing Program (GSP). Credit: Ernesto del Aguila III, NHGRI.

On 9th Feb I set myself the target to run parkrun in under 35 minutes by my 250th parkrun.
My best ever parkrun time is 26:32 and around that time I was regularly finishing in 27-28 minutes.
Those heady days are long gone of which some is down to aging and my evolving heart condition developing persistent AFib (ablation Dec 2023, A/F free since Jan 2024) and then CI (exercise intolerance), but I was hoping some of it was also due to a lack of self-discipline and will-power that I might be able to improve upon.
Since setting the challenge I have achieved the following times:
• Run 228 – 36:37
• Run 229 – 36:43
• Run 230 – 37:11
• Run 231 – 36:41
• Run 232 – 37:07 (yesterday)
If nothing else I am proving very consistent but I am starting to think this is about as good as it can get and maybe the target is out of reach. I believe my problem is caused by CI (Chronotropic Incompetence).
When first diagnosed via a stress exercise test in June 2023 (61% of predicted age heart rate) it seem to align with the start of my poorer parkrun times but it is difficult to find out what it really means and what to expect, whether it is progressive or if I could work to improve the condition through exercise? Whenever I have asked healthcare professionals about it they seem fairly vague.
Does anyone know anything about this condition and whether I can expect to improve my performance levels?

If you're gonna eat junk food, you might as well do it right. Forget McD's or BK, Carl's. The Hat gives you plenty of ways to clog your arteries for reasonable prices.

Maianthemum Bifolium, the False Lily of the Valley (other common names: May lily, Mayflower, one-blade, one-leaf, snakeberry, two-leaved lily of the valley, two-leaved Solomon’s seal, wild lily of the valley; konwalijka dwulistna, majownik). This species, flowering in late spring and early summer, is found in the wild growing in open forests, in the Lake Forest Mill area. Its ruby red berries (pale green before turning red in late summer) are inedible. Diosgenin, a steroidal sapogenin, has a strong anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antifungal effect, and also inhibits the growth of cancer cells. The external uses (compress made of water extract) are suggested. May lily is a plant with medicinal properties (recommended daily amount, RDA to use it carefully), but at the same time it is poisonous.
While on a errand today we spotted this TARC bus parked, idling, both to and from our destination. aka Running. No driver at the wheel. For at least 1/2 hour.

Phone: (502) 585-1234
This stop is the "end of the line" (or the beginning however one looks at it). When I was attempting to learn the bus lines a while back (didn't turn out well) there was a lady driver who'd sit at the driver's seat having her lunch. If you went near the bus while she was having lunch she'd bark your head off. Once I dropped a nickel and could not find it, she said, "Honey, you need full fare to ride on this bus" - I needed to be in court - I missed the court date - I have a warrant out for my arrest. I no longer care. I do see that lady is no longer driving this bus.

This image shows heart muscle cells that have been grown from stem cells in the laboratory. The components of these cells have been stained with fluorescent pigments: the nuclei are red and the protein filaments that make the muscle contract are green and blue.
It is hoped that tissue grown from stem cells could be developed for future transplantation therapy in people with heart rhythm disturbances and heart failure caused by heart attacks.
“Our BHF-funded research is aiming to understand the fundamental biology of these exciting cells. Once we know more about how they grow and turn into beating heart cells, we hope to be able to harness them to repair damaged hearts.”

In 2002, 1 in 3 women died of heart disease. That year, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute launched The Heart Truth campaign to make women more aware of the danger of heart disease. Today, 1 in 4 women dies of heart disease. Although significant progress has been made, there is still work to do. Help The Heart Truth and its partners continue to make strides.
