Science Scores Advances
In Fight For Young Hearts

This Is the fifth Of q series
Of seven articles presented by
your Heart Association to in
form readers of this newspap-
er about the progress being

disease.
among the major triumphs of
modern medicine are those scor-
I'd by research scientists in COM
batting heart disorders which af-
feet children and young people.
These statistics tell the story:
During the past three decades,
TIC risk of dying before the age
of "a from the diseases of the
heart and blood vessels has been
0rinished by more than 20 per-
cent; the risk of dying from one
~ the diseases between the age
of rs and "A has been reduced by
35 percent.
Even SO, the toll remains ira
gically high. And a great many
people are unaware that heart
disease is a prime enemy of
childhood, numbering an esti-
mated 100000 Sabotage chill
zen among its victims.
Insofar as heart disease in
children is concerned, perhaps
the greatest advance has been in
the development If methods by
which most cases Of rheumatic
fever, frequent fLrerunner of
rheumatic heart disease, can be
prevented.
Rheumatic fever is insidious in
character. 1t is almost always
Heceded by "strep" infection,
Especially "strep" sore throat or
acute tensillitiS.
Curiously only a small pro-
portion (less than percent) of
those who have "Strep" infec-
ton develop rheumatic fever.
Presumably, oy responding in
some special way TO the invading
"strep" germs, they acquire the
disease.
OPrevention of initial attacks
