1 Researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is
likely to suffer a heart attack.The test measures levels of a protein in the blood.The researchers say people
with high levels of this protein are at high risk of heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
2 Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team.For about
four years,they studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease.The researchers tested the heart
disease patients for a protein called NT-proBNP. Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times more
likely than those with the lowest levels to have a heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
3 The researchers say the presence of high levels of the protein in the blood shows that the heart
muscle is under pressure in some way.The study involved mostly men,so the researchers could not say for
sure that the results are also true for women.They say the patients with the highest levels of NT-proBNP
were older and had other problems like diabetes or high blood pressure.
4 Other researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if knowing the protein levels of a heart
disease patient should affect that person’s treatment.They also would like to know if more aggressive
treatment could reduce the patient's chance of a heart attack or stroke.The study appeared in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
5 Could a little sleep during the middle of the day reduce the risk of a heart attack?An unrelated
study earlier this month in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that the answer may be yes.In countries
like the United States,afternoon naps are mostly for children. But they are common for adults in
Mediterranean countries.And these countries generally have lower rates of heart disease.So scientists in the
United States and Greece wondered if naps could play a part.Twenty-three thousand healthy adults took part
in the study by Harvard University and the University of Athens.Those who took thirty-minute naps three
times a week had a thirty-seven percent lower risk of death from heart problems than people who did not take
naps.
6 The researchers say napping may improve heart health by reducing stress.They say the research
suggests that naps are especially good for working men.But they say not enough female subjects died during
the study to judge the benefits for women.

According to some researchers,by measuring the levels of NT-proBNP in the blood people mayknow ________.
A: where fewer pepole die from heart problem
B:whether they have the risk of heart attack,heart failure or stroke
C:would probably have lower rates of heart disease
D:how to test a person's NT-proBNP level in the blood by himself
E:his heart muscle would be under pressure in some way
F:that napping is of great benefit to women too

Dangers Await Babies with Altitude
Women who live in the world's highest communities tend to give birth to underweight babies, a new study suggests.These babies may grow into adults with a high risk of heart disease and strokes.
Research has hinted that newborns in mountain communities are lighter than average.But it wasn't clear whether this is due to reduced oxygen levels at high altitude or because their mothers are under-nourished—many people who live at high altitudes are relatively poor compared with those living lower down.
To find out more,Dino Giussani and his team at Cambridge University studied the records of 400 births in Bolivia during 1997 and 1998 .The babies were born in both rich and poor areas of two cities:La Paz and Santa Cruz.La Paz is the highest city in the world,at 3 .65 kilometers above sea level,while Santa Cruz is much lower,at 0 .44 kilometers.
Sure enough,Giussani found that the average birthweight of babies in La Paz was significantly lower than in Santa Cruz.This was true in both high and low-income families.Even babies born to poor families in Santa Cruz were heavier on average than babies born to wealthy families in lofty La Paz.“We were very surprised by this result,”says Giussani.
The results suggest that babies born at high altitude are deprived of oxygen before birth.
“This may trigger the release or suppression of hormones that regulate growth of the unborn child,”says Giussani.
His team also found that high-altitude babies tended to have relatively larger heads compared with their bodies.This is probably because a fetus starved of oxygen will send oxygenated blood to the brain in preference to the rest of the body.
Giussani wants to find out if such babies have a higher risk of disease in later life.People born in La Paz might be prone to heart trouble in adulthood,for example.Low birthweight is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.And newborns with a high ratio of head size to body weight are often predisposed to high blood pressure and strokes in later life.

It can be learned from the last paragraph that______.
A: high-altitude babies tend to have high blood pressure in their later life
B: underweight babies have a shorter life span
C: babies born to poor families lack certain hormones before birth
D: newborns in wealthy families have larger heads compared with their bodies
