Doctor’s CornerSubmitted by Darren Duet, M.D.ECO Corporate Medical DirectorCoronary Artery DiseaseCoronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in theworld. More women die of CAD than they do of breast cancer andof all cancers combined. For generations, CAD was considered adisease of men, but it’s a serious threat to both men and women.CAD is what we commonly refer to as “blockages in the heart”and what leads to a heart attack. The symptoms of CAD varytremendously. Typically, the first signs of CAD are shortness ofbreath with activity, a crushing type of chest discomfort withpain radiating down the left arm, and diaphoresis (a sudden coldsweat). Almost half of patients who have CAD will experiencethese classic symptoms, while the other half may only experiencethese non-classic symptoms:• Weird feelings in the chest (not just pain or pressure)• Sweating for no apparent reason• Passing out, nearly passing out or lightheadedness• Nausea and/or vomiting• Sudden weakness• Pain, pressure or a strange feeling inthe back, neck, jaw or upper belly, or inone or both shoulders and arms• Fast or irregular heartbeatIf you or a loved one experience any ofthe classic and/or non-classic signs or symptoms of CAD, theninform a physician in a timely manner. With this information, anevaluation of your CAD risk factors, and your medical doctor’sphysical observations, your physician will direct your care towardthe best outcomes possible.Anywhere from one-third to one-half of any one patient’s firstsign of CAD is a heart attack, and in one-third to one-half ofthose, it is fatal. There are tools to help determine one’s risk. Forexample, the Reynolds Risk Score is a useful tool used by manyhealth care providers to determine a patient’s risk, even in theabsence of symptoms.You can calculate your own Reynolds Risk Score by visitingwww.reynoldsriskscore.org. If you answer the questionsappropriately and honestly and get an unfavorable result, Irecommend that you take the results to your primary careprovider for further evaluation.CONGRATULATIONS • CONGRATULATIONSWeddingsKevin Theriot (C-Logistics) to Gwendolyn, Apr. 28, 2012.Quentin Washam (Gulf Ship) to Kayla, Apr. 28, 2012.Donnie Finch (Gulf Ship) to April, May 21, 2012.Ashley Burregi (ECO) to Jaedon, June 16, 2012.Kassie LeBlanc Pitre (<strong>NAS</strong>) to Erin, Sept. 2, 2012.Michael Boudreaux (<strong>NAS</strong>) to Xueling, Sept. 9, 2012.Britney Pierce (ECO) to Ryan, Oct. 6, 2012.Emmanuel Hernandez (<strong>NAS</strong>) to Jeraldi, Oct. 8, 2012.Natalie Autin (C-Port 2) to Benjamin, Nov. 3, 2012.Murphy Boura (C-Logistics) to Shelley, Nov. 24, 2012.Rob Collins (C-Logistics) to Sugar, Dec. 1, 2012.Jacob Norman (C-Logistics) to Sarah, Dec. 1, 2012.Rogers Boudloche (<strong>NAS</strong>) to Clare, Dec. 4, 2012.Patrick Vallian (<strong>NAS</strong>) to Cassondria, Dec. 8, 2012.Dr. Darren Duet (ECO) to Wendy, Dec. 12, 2012.Lacey Lee (ECO) to Wayne, Jan. 11, 2013.BirthsAmilee, daughter of Joseph Ray (Gulf Ship), born Jan. 30, 2012.Arthur, son of Rodrigo Schmitz (Navship), born Mar. 7, 2012.Jonathan, son of Jonathan Guerrero Romero (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Apr. 5, 2012.Lucas, son of Luis Espindola (Navship), born Apr. 23, 2012.Christian, son of Jeremy Meadows (Gulf Ship), born May 1, 2012.Kaegan, daughter of Jonathan Howard (Gulf Ship), born May 18, 2012.Danilo, son of Danilo Cruz Nolasco (<strong>NAS</strong>), born June 3, 2012.Sebastian, son of Christian Hernandez (<strong>NAS</strong>), born June 3, 2012.Maddix, son of Brookes Domangue (Sealand), born June 28, 2012.Allie, daughter of Shawn Rainwater (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Aug. 2, 2012.Jhovany, son of Edgar Merida (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Aug. 2, 2012.Jonah, son of Blaine Curole (ECO), born Aug. 10, 2012.Jaxon, son of Rachel (C-Port) and Jarrod Robichaux (C-Logistics), born Aug. 18, 2012.Selah, daughter of Philip Kebodeaux (Sealand), born Aug. 27, 2012.Aurora, daughter of David Boudreaux (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Sept. 6, 2012.Quinn, son of Justin Rogers (C-Logistics), born Sept. 10, 2012.Caleb, son of Mikie Pinell (Sealand), born Oct. 5, 2012.Miles, son of Otto Bourgeois (Sealand), born Oct. 10, 2012.Jaxon, son of Coley (C-Port 2) and Jordan Matherne (ECO), born Oct. 11, 2012.Haydon, son of Erin Greene and James Bellanger (both ECO), born Oct. 16, 2012.10Mason, son of Steve Brown (ECO), born Oct. 18, 2012.Phi, son of Ha Huynh (Gulf Ship), born Oct. 30, 2012.Danielle, daughter of Jeremy Savoie (Sealand), born Nov. 1, 2012.Genesis, daughter of Jorge Amero Guillen (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Nov. 23, 2012.Rudy, son of Rony Castaneda (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Nov. 26, 2012.Cameron, son of Bryan Dietz (ECO), born Dec. 4, 2012.Isabella, daughter of Javier Espejo Crisanto (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Dec. 2, 2012.Maurick, son of Kendall Smith (Gulf Ship), born Dec. 7, 2012.Isabela, daughter of Vitor Diniz (CI-Brazil), born Dec. 22, 2012.Charlotte, daughter of John Boquet (Sealand), born Dec. 25, 2012.Katherine, daughter of Jose Osorio (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Dec. 27, 2012.Cheridyn, daughter of Chef Randy Missildine (Tranquility), born Dec. 28, 2012.Maria, daughter of Marcus and Katylene Gonzaga (both Navship), born Jan. 6, 2013.Ivett, daughter of Jesus Fabela (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Jan. 17, 2013.Emily, daughter of Manuel Garcia (<strong>NAS</strong>), born Jan. 19, 2013.Beatriz, daughter of Marlon Silva (CI-Brazil), born Jan. 28, 2013.Recent College GraduatesRoss Adams, son of Greg and Angie Adams (<strong>NAS</strong>), BS Allied Health (Nicholls State).Beth Eymard, daughter of Aubrey Eymard (<strong>NAS</strong>), BGS (Nicholls State).Mesha Eymard, daughter of Mitzi Eymard (C-Port), BA Psychology (Nicholls State).ENS Jacob Gamble, son of Karen Gamble (ECO), U.S. Coast Guard Academy.Jordy Gaspard, son of Chandler Gaspard (<strong>NAS</strong>), BGS (Nicholls State).Tyler Guidry, son of Anita Guidry (ECO), BS Kinesiology (UL-Lafayette).Ashley Hemm (Marine Tech), BA English (University of New Orleans).Thomas Logan, son of Anthony Evans (Gulf Ship), Accounting (Stillman College).Jennifer Mathews, daughter of Jeffrey Hall (<strong>NAS</strong>), AGS (Delgado).Luyen Nguyen, son of Thomas Nguyen (Gulf Ship), Pharmacy Tech (ColemanCollege).Courtney Robichaux, daughter of Cheryl Fonseca (<strong>NAS</strong>), AS Graphic Design (FullSail University).Tekedra Tarleton, daughter of Dwayne Tarleton (Gulf Ship), Cosmetologist (HindsCommunity).Brad Turner, son of Tom Turner (Gulf Ship), Mechanical Engineering (MississippiState).
