ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS | JUNE/JULY 2013 | 7 LIVING WITH OR KNOWING SOMEONE WITH HEART DISEASE

ne of my goals at Electric Boat is to prevent disease, or put another way – keep the well healthy. The core EB program is the Know Your Numbers / House Calls. This program ideally allows people to monitor their biometric numbers so if a change starts occurring in a negative direction, an individual can take action to maintain O or improve the biometric markers. Past Health Matters columns have focused on reasons to stay healthy – avoiding heart disease and stroke, for example. Also, I have described methods for staying healthy through a lifestyle with good eating and exercise habits. The topic I have not yet covered is for the 11.5 percent of non-institutionalized adults with diagnosed heart disease. One key to the treatment of heart disease is staying positive. Four very simple techniques can help a person stay positive. The four techniques are:

P Meditating – this can be as simple as just sitting and taking 15 deep breaths with 15 long expirations.

P Enjoying nature – take a minute to step outside and breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the walk to or from the grocery store, your house or your doctor’s appointments.

P Spending time with friends – being isolated can lead to depression, so make a date with a friend or colleague so you have somewhere to go.

P Visualizing – during a quiet minute visualize your heart beating strongly, healing, and HEALTH the vessels opening up. This way you are taking an active role in your mind-body experi- ence. For more information on a positive attitude visit Dr. Lynn M. Williams, clinical health psychologist, at http://www.yourmindhealth.com/home.html. MATTERS For anyone with heart disease it is important to remember that you are not alone. You have joined the ranks of millions of other Americans. What you call it is not important – By Dr. Susan Andrews you will hear different terms such as heart disease, coronary arterial disease, cardiovascu- lar disease, CAD and more. The bottom line is this – there is plaque buildup in the walls of your arteries in your heart. The plaque makes the vessels narrow so that blood has a more difficult time flowing. Once you have the diagnosis remember to not feel guilty, realize it is OK to need help, join a support group, believe in yourself, and maybe even spread the word about heart disease. You are your best health advocate for managing your heart disease. It is very important to manage your emotions. Also, look for people who have similar goals regarding health in their plan. Try to find someone who will make one healthy change with you such as diet, exercise, or even discussing your heart health with your primary care provider. Lastly, take control of your recovery by reading labels and being active. Don’t expect miracles over- night, de-stress and be a survivor by living a “normal” or “new normal” life. If you are caring for or living with someone with heart disease then you have an active role in both your health and their health. Make sure you are patient with yourself since your role can be both demanding and stressful. Always take care of yourself so that you will be there to help the person with heart disease. You may even need to ask yourself, what have I done for myself today? The caregiver or spouse must find a health outlet for stress to avoid burnout. Finding the right doctor is important. Start with your Primary Care Physician (PCP). The PCP should be in charge of your overall care. Likely, you also will see a cardiologist. Make sure you are comfortable with both your PCP and cardiologist. You may need to get
