Reducing adrenalin’s effect on the heart is useful in managing conditions such as high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and angina (chest pain from narrowing of blood ves sels in the heart). In addition, re searchers have discovered in sev eral studies that beta blocker medi cines are helpful in preventing death in persons who have survived one or more heart attacks. One report indicates that 10 to 30% of heart attack victims who receive beta blockers experience a reduction in death from future heart attacks. According to a recent report in Annals of Internal Medicine, more than 18,000 heart attack survivors given beta blocker medicines such as propranolol, metoprolol, and timolol have been studied. Medi cine was started 5 to 21 days after the attack. Studies vary as to the length of time beta blockers were given. The American Hospital Formulary indicates that up to 39 months of therapy reduced deaths related to heart disease and arterio sclerosis. The article in Annals of Internal Medicine reports that maximum protection is provided during the first 12 months of thera py. Only victims with the greatest risk of death from another heart attack benefited beyond 12 months. ing a GPA of 3. to 3.39.

The largest expenditure is for housing, which has been true since USDA first collected data in the 1940’s Morrow notes. In addition, some parents are spending more money on their children as new products are in troduced and new standard set. Children in the 1940’s didn’t have video g am es, c o m p u te rs, telephones and television sets. A single parent with an income of less than $32,100 can expect to spend about $96,630 raising a child. A two-parent family with an income o f more than $52,200 is spending about $185.000 in 1992 dollars. A middle income, two-parent Western family will spend about $134,190.
