For smaller movements, use the shift key and arrow keys at the same time. Once selected, an object can be moved either by dragging it, or using the arrow keys on your keyboard. To select multiple objects at a time, hold down shift while selecting them, or drag a selection box around the objects you wish to select. Connect with us on, Facebook, Twitter or by calling 1-800-AHA-USA1.Objects can be selected by either left-clicking them, dragging a selection box around them, or clicking on the object's layer in the Layers panel.

Revenues from pharmaceutical and biotech companies, device manufacturers and health insurance providers, and the Association’s overall financial information are available here. The Association has strict policies to prevent these relationships from influencing the science content. Foundations and corporations (including pharmaceutical, device manufacturers and other companies) also make donations and fund specific Association programs and events. The Association receives funding primarily from individuals. American Heart Association guidelines provide the Association’s official clinical practice recommendations. While scientific statements inform the development of guidelines, they do not make treatment recommendations. Scientific statements outline what is currently known about a topic and what areas need additional research. Treatment plans should include close collaboration with the patient and their support network of family and friends.Īmerican Heart Association scientific statements promote greater awareness about cardiovascular diseases and stroke issues and help facilitate informed health care decisions. Strategies to address fall risk include medication adjustments, reassessing treatment plans, considering non-drug treatment options and properly managing heart rhythm disorders. Fainting, whether caused by heart or neurological issues, increases with age and can lead to a fall. A condition called orthostatic hypotension, which causes blood pressure to drop dramatically upon standing, affects up to 30% of people over age 60, and is a risk factor for falling. In addition, digoxin, diuretics, antipsychotics, opioids and sleep medications can increase fall risk. Medications that increase risk of falls include those that treat diabetes, high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, anxiety, depression and epilepsy. Increased fall risk is associated with medications, structural heart disease, heart failure, low blood pressure conditions, irregular heart rhythms, trouble walking or difficulty with balance, sensory and cognitive impairment, physical frailty and environmental hazards (things that cause trips or slipping). 40% to 60% of adults with cardiovascular disease are at risk for falling. Falls and fear of falling are a major health issue, and they are associated with high injury rates, high medical care costs and significant negative impact on the quality of life.
