Solution of Three Key Problems
Is Sought by Heart Researchers
By E. Cowles Andrus, M.D.
President, American Heart Association
The fate of millions of Ameri
cans. now living and yet unborn,
depends upon the speed with
which research scientists And the
answers to these three questions:
1. What
causes the
arteries to
become thick
cned, rough
cned and nar-
rowed. Inter- HF-S’-
sering with
the blood flow Bgjfe
and nourish
the
and
setting the HByS
stage for
“heart at* Dr. Andrus
tack”?
2. What arc the exact mecha
nisms responsible for the abnor
mal constriction of the tiny ends
of the arteries, causing high
blood pressure?
3. What are the exact mecha
nisms through which strep infec
tion leads to rheumatic fever,
and consequently to rheumatic
heart disease?
These three conditions —hard-
ening of the arteries, high blood
pressure, and rheumatic fever
cause more than ninety percent
of all heart disease.
The basic causes of these dis
orders are unknown. Until they
are found, the likelihood of cs
i tabiishing cures and controls is
lessened accordingly.
The importance of our finding
the answers to these three pro
foundly important “unknowns"
is underscored by the fact that
diseases of the heart now cause
more than 794,000 deaths annu
ally.
In their quest for new knowl
edge about the basic causes of
these three conditions, research
scientists have developed a great
many promising clues which are
i being intensively followed-up.
Moreover, they have made pos
sible great progress in the diag
nosis, prevention, care and treat
ment of the heart diseases.

Let us consider just a few of
the more dramatic advances
which are saving hearts today.
Initial and recurrent attacks
of rheumatic fever are being pre
vented through prompt and effec
tive use of antibiotics.
Antibiotics have made possible
a recovery rate of better than 75
percent in subacute bacterial en
docarditis, a heart infection once
almost invariably fatal.
In many thousands of cases, it
has been demonstrated that sur
gery can often repair heart valves
damaged as a result of rheumatic
fever, correct certain abnormali
ties present at birth (as in “bluo
babies”), and repair other heart
conditions previously considered
hopeless.
Relief is being brought to many
thousands of heart sufferers
through new drugs, new dietary
controls and new therapeutic
techniques.
Diagnostic and study tools are
constantly improving.
All of these facts resolve them
selves into a hopeful picture.
High on the list of factors war
ranting optimism is a change of
basic altitude. Slowly but surely,
man is discarding the view that
heart disease is necessarily fatal.
He is casting oft needless fears.
He is becoming increasingly
aware that some forms of heart
disease can be prevented, some
can be cured, and almost all cases
can be best cared for by proper
treatment after early diagnosis.
The public, too, has gained new
hope from the nationwide cru
sade against diseases of the heart
and blood vessels that is sup
ported by the Heart Fund.
Through the Heart Fund, the
public has joined with medical
science in fighting heart disease
with research, professional and
public education and community
heart programs.
These programs are adminis
tered by your Heart Association.
Its meaningful appeal “Help
Your Heart Fund Help Your
Heart” merits the thoughtful
consideration of every American.

avoid confusion and misunderstand- 1
