Family History Of Cardiovascular: This controversy centered around the extent to which dietary changes could lessen the incidence of these diseases and how to advise the general public about eating habits. (See Year in Review: DRUGS, Treatment for Heart Impairments.) There was substantial agreement that a rich diet with large amounts of saturated fats, cholesterol sources, carbohydrates (especially Table sugar),and/or alcohol was to be avoided by persons who work under stress; who do not exercise sufficiently; and who smoke, have high blood pressure, are obese, or have a family history of cardiovascular diseases. There was, however, no proof that dietary changes, beyond total caloric balance, had anything more than a minor role in preventing cardiovascular diseases in otherwise healthy individuals.
During the time that heart surgery was being developed and perfected, there was also considerable progress in the correction of abnormalities of the arteries and veins. Various techniques were developed to treat varicose veins, and sometimes even the large veins leading to the heart-the inferior and superior venae cavae-were objects of surgical attention. Operations on the larger arteries, however, constituted a more dramatic chapter in the history of cardiovascular surgery. Aneurysms (bulging enlargements) of the aorta excited much interest, and efforts, sometimes successful, were made to prevent aneurysms from bursting.
