Do Heart Attacks Leave
Heart Badly Damaged?
People write to ask if a
"heart attack" always leaves
the heart badly damaged, and
my anwer is "No." There are
are thousands of men and
women who
have little
heart attacks
in which there
is but slight
damage done
to the h e a r t
muscle. Per
haps only a
small bit of it
dies, or the
Alvatn coronary a r -
tery never plugged up; it only
went into spapin, and hence
none of the heart muscle was
damaged. In such cases, there
Js no change in the electrocar
diograms, which shows that
there was not enough destruc
tion of muscle to change the
course of the heart-beat.
Remarkable is the fact that,
not infrequently, at the autop
sy on a man who died with a
sudden heart attack, no plug
of coagulated blood is found
in the usual place in a coro
nary artery at the top of the
heart. Perhaps the man died
before a plug could form. The
coronary arteries run around
the upper end of the heart
and supply most of the heart
muscle with blood. The word
"coronary" comes from a
word-root meaning a crown.
The ancient physicians
thought of these two arteries
8s forming a crown on the top
of the heart.
Even when a small amount
of henrt muscle is damaged
in an attack, this amount may
be so small that it docs not
handicap the heart in its work
as a pump; and hence it does
not bother the man. He is able
to go on walking down the
street as fast as he ever did
and without any anginal pain
Often, he goes ahead and lives
comfortably for many years
no More Coddling
Today, we doctors are learn
ing not to coddle our patients
too much after coronary at
tack. Some able heart special
ists maintain Hint their heart
attack patients do much bet
ter sitting up in a chair than
lying in a bed. Some doctors
let their patient walk around
his room, and I like the idea;
It seems logical.
There is another possibility
Shout quite a few of the spells
that are supposed to lie heart
attacks, and this is that if a
little arlcry really plugged
up, it happened up in the
brain and not in the heart, 1
am sure of this when, after
the spell, the patient has no
difficulty with his heart; his
distress is in his head, with
perhaps some loss in ability
and in memory, together with
gome change in character. !
Oftentimes vuhun n l:w-tf,,l '
physician thinks that the pa
tient had a little stroke, he
calls It a "heart attack," be
cause he knows that the fam
ily will not mind having a
relative with a heart attack
when they would resent hav
ing one with a stroke. Even In
this day of college educations,
many people are influenced
in their thinking by the very
ancient, but utterly ground
less idea that in the case of a
stroke, an angry God had
struck the man down because
He had caught him in some
skullduggery which had been
well concealed from friends
and lownfolk!
A New Term
The mild strokes which
leave only some defect in
character or ability to get the
I day's work done are due usu
ally to a plugging-up of a lit
tie artery in the brain; ihe big
devastating strokes which,
In a moment, throw a man to
the floor with a paralyzed
right side and an inability to
say anything, are due usually
to a rupture of an artery.
Many physicians, in trying to
avoid the haled idea that God
struck the man for some good
cause, now call a stroke a cer-
ebro-vascular accident, or a
Circulation of

The record was nchieved

CVA. I prefer to use the old
word stroke, which all of us
know, and then to assure the
patient that God had nothing
to do with it.
The moral o.' all this is,
when you suffer a brief, dizzy
spell - perhaps with a little
chest pain, and the doctor
calls it a heart attack - don't
despair. You may have 20
good years still ahead of you.
How is your heart? Maybe
it's time for a checkup. You'll

108 members and 27 advisers

body which still has some
items to clean up.
The subcommission will

70 Draft Proposals
The Ecumenical press ser
vice said the central commis
sion discusseed a total of 70
draft proposals submitted by
the specialized commissions,
contained in 119 booklets for
a total of 2,060 pages.
The contents cover virtual
ly all facets of Catholic
church organization and doc
trine, from "chastity and the
family" to "the dress and
tonsure of priests," problems
of the press, cinema, radio
and television and the great
church - state issue of "reli
gious liberty."
Straw Hat Bandit
Forgets Bank Loot
Irvington, N.J. -IUPU- Au
thorities were wondering to
day if the straw hat bank
bandit was careless or con
science stricken.
The bandit, replete with
summer straw, strolled into
the Supreme Savings & Loan
association Monday and ask
ed teller Edward Lapp to
change a $10 bill.
When Lapp, who was alone
In the bank, produced the
change the bandit pulled a
gun and ordered him to fill a
plastic brief case with money.
Lapp stuffed $1,015 into the
brief case and the bandit left,
but the teller got a descrip
tion of his car.
About an hour later police
found the car, reported stolen
earlier, abandoned in a near
by parking lot.
On its seat was all the stol
en cash and the bandit's $10
in change.
Several of the draft "Con
stitutions" refer directly or
indirectly to the great goal of
the pontificate of Pope John
XXIII-eventual reunification
of all Christians in the church
of Rome
Four Draft Decrees
They include four draft de
crees on "Catholic Ecumen
ism," "The Need to Pray for
Union," "The Word of God as
a Means of Union" and "Reli
gious Liberty." All of these
were submitted by the secre
tariat for the union of Chris
tians under German-born Au
gustin Cardinal Bca. ,
Indirectly important for the
unification movement were
drafts on the problems of
Catholics of the Eastern rite,
who could conceivably serve
as a bridge towards the East
ern Orthodox churches.
The Ecumenical news ser
vice, in reporting on last
week's final meeting, said the
Catholic church has never
stopped its work towards
unity and "not only intends to
help with prayers the good
will of those who seek union,
but also encourages all work
on the theological ana pas
toral level to make the center
of unity shine more clearly."

"Clothes dryinR is another wonderful
service electricity brings us. With my
large family, the dryer is one of thr
busiest appliances end biggest wcvk
savers in the house. "
"With four growing children, a homemaker needs
all the help she can get. That's why I use electric
appliances for so many different jobs. Considering
all the work electricity does, the cost of the service
is certainly reasonable ... in fact, many of our ap
plianceslike the sewing machine help me save
money in our household budget."
