Why heart disease continues to beat cancer as America's top killer
Cancer deaths have been on pace to outnumber deaths from heart disease in the United States for some years now — but once again, in new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they didn't.Heart disease has ticked upward in deaths since 2010, and it remains the number one killer of Americans.Over the last three decades, the US has seen rising mortality from cancer and falling mortality for heart disease.Those lines had been projected to cross in recent years."We actually thought that it would happen in 2011, but then heart disease nosed back up," said Bob Anderson, a statistician in the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics and a coauthor of the new report published on Wednesday.

Gum disease linked to heart disease
Gum disease linked to heart disease
By Carolyn Crist(Reuters Health) - A report from The Netherlands adds to the evidence tying chronic gum disease to heart disease and stroke.In a study of more than 60,000 dental patients, those with gum disease were twice as likely to have had a heart attack, stroke or severe chest pain.Previous studies have linked periodontitis and clogged arteries, but this is the first to investigate the link in a group of people this large, the researchers say.At the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, the largest dental school in the Netherlands, investigators reviewed the medical records of 60,174 patients age 35 and older, looking for an association between periodontal gum disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases such as angina, heart attack and stroke.
