HY fw } teswronce (orparetion 34 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. February 7, 1984 Target set for $4500.00 Open up your heart for Heart Month in Canada February is Heart Month in Canada, and here in Port Perry, a door-to-door canvass by some 60 volunteers got underway last week and will continue through to the end of the month. Local campaign chairperson, Judy Smith, says the target for Port Perry and Prince Albert this year is $4500, or a ten per cent increase over the amount raised in 1983. The communities of Port Perry and Prince Albert have been divided into 11 canvass zones, and also during February, roses will be available in local stores with these funds also go- ing to the Heart Campaign. Last week, volunteers with the local Heart Fund officially got the campaign underway by unveiling a banner which will fly during February at the Municipal Office in Port Perry. HEART RESEARCH IN CANADA Heart disease and stroke together comprise the western world's leading cause of death and disability. To fight the problem in Canada, the Canadian Heart Foundations finance a large research pro- gramme in all Canadian universities and major hospitals. Last year, Heart Foun- dation research support in Canada totalled more than $20 million. More than 623 research teams and individuals received awards. The 1984 target is $22 million. In a research pro- gramme of this size, it is obvious that a wide variety of projects is be- ing supported, but the Standard Trust RRSP No matter which Stonderd Try RRSP you choose, there ore ebiolutely no fees © INSTANT TAX RECEIPT © APPLY BY PHONE © SAVINGS OR G.1.C.

Scientists are seeking ways to improve blood supply to the heart's own muscle, while others study the action mechanism of various drugs. Yet, others are at- tempting to find better means of preventing and treating arrythmias - the irregular heart rhythms which are often involved in sudden death. All of these studies have been made easier by the development of safe methods of evaluating the operation of heart muscle and damage to the heart itself. In the stroke field, a considerable amount of research on the produc- tion of clots and their consequences has been carried out in Canada. This fundamental work, supported to a large ex- tent by the Foundation, led to the development of drugs which prevent the formation of platelet thrombi and the effects of two of these so-called antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and sulphin- pyrazone) were evaluated in a highly successful trial carried out in Canada. In heart surgery, in- vestigations are under- way to maintain heart muscle in the best possi- ble condition while the heart is stopped so that maximal recovery can occur as quickly as possi- ble once the heart is restarted. Also, there are studies involving the an- tiplatelet drugs in trying to prevent subsequent obstruction in the blood vessels which is used to bypass the blocked cor- onary artery. A number of centres are also at- tempting to improve the capability of animal (in- cluding human) tissue in the composition of replacement valves to withstand the stress and strain of constant heart action. In the field of atherosclerosis, research is being conducted into the mechanisms which contribute to blood vessel damage and atherosclerosis in humans. In addition, detailed studies are being carried out in a number of centres to investigate the import- ance of various classes of lipoprotiens in the development of athero- sclerosis. Finally, in the area of thrombosis, arterial clots are composed mainly of platelets and there is good experimental evidence and some clinical evidence that they can be prevented by drugs which inhibit the stickiness of these platelets. Biochemical studies, studies in ex- perimental animals and various clinical studies are underway evaluating a variety of antiplatelet drugs to determine their potential in the preven- tion of blockages which occur in coronary arteries and in arteries which supply the brain. February is Heart Month and a door-to- door canvass in Port Perry and Prince Albert got underway last week. Mayor Jerry Taylor helped volunteers kick off Heart Month with a banner raising at the Township offices.

They all urge you to support the Heart Fund. (See story) Wedding in Sault Ste.
