Dr. John 1.. Elliott, president
of the Georgia Heart Associa
tion, said this is proof enough
that the cardiovascular diseases
are still this country's greatest
health menace.
"We must continue to support
research until we have the know
ledge necessary to prevent, or
at least control, ALL of these
diseases,” Dr. Elliott said.
"There Is good news for
American men aged 45 to 64.
The death rate from heart and
blood vessel diseases In this
age group has dropped by 7 1/2
per cent since 1950, reflecting
sharp declines in death rates
from high blood pressure and
the heart disease it causes, and
from strokes. This is good news
because it is the first sustained
improvement In this important
age classification — men who,
through years of training and
service are at the peak of their
efficiency and earning power,”
Dr. Elliott continued.
"Unfortunately, the death rate
from heart attack has not yet
given ground,” he added.
"It is significant that the de
clines in death rates for mid
dleaged men date from 1950, the
year following the first Heart
Fund campaign. These advances
are due largely to the kind of
research that the Heart Fund
supports and that has saved thou
sands of lives through improved
methods of diagnosis, treatment
and rehabilitation.”
He urged support of the Heart
Fund as a means of furthering
research. This annual February
appeal has enabled the Georgia
Heart Association to allocate
more than $1,600,000 for heart
research since 1980*
The Savannah internist said
the heart association's statewide
clinic system has aided many
indigent heart patients and that
stroke victims, too, have been
benefited by local rehabilitation
sessions, assisted by the GHA,
which stress the value of early
rehabilitation.
CARD OF THANKS
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone
for the lovely flowers, food, each
phone call, the beautiful cards and
all other acts of kindness shown
us during the death of our loved
one. May God richly bless each of
you.
