Would you immediately cash-in your stock options in their ice-cream if Ben & Jerry died of heart disease?

No. Besides, Ben & Jerry don't even own Ben & Jerry's anymore. It is owned by a big Danish conglomerate.
2 :
yes.
3 :
who is ben and jerry?mmmmmm......ice cream......yummy!!!!!!
4 :
No... Just like I wouldn't cash-in any Ford stocks I have if CEO Alan Mulally died in a car crash.
5 :
I would buy more stock. It would go well with my 'heart stopper deluxe' burger. And there's no bad publicity especially when advertising sins of the arteries. The world wants it and is populated by a big yellow clown with a drive through.
6 :
You do know that Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's underwent a quintuple bypass. Not good.
7 :
you're bad... indirectly wishing Ben & Jerry to die of heart disease... *shakes head

I don't know much about this but my first choice would be to concentrate on omega-3s and omega-6s
2 :
Coronary heart disease is due to eating bad oils like VEGETABLE OILS that are very unstable and go rancid very easily even in the body; a nano bacteria that can be found in cooked foods and attacks the heart muscle, arteries, the pancreas, and kidneys; inflammation in the body, especially in the teeth, etc. Bottom line is that there are a lot of things that cause heart disease. A very necessary vitamin that will nourish the heart tissue is COQ-Quinol that is fully reduced. All the COQ-10 products being sold on the market actually can damage the body because it is in the "ash" form and not fully reduced. This form will not even help damaged cells. COQ-10 is actually vitamin Q. Like many so called vitamins that are nothing more than synthetic chemical activators that damage the body's DNA and become toxic to the body, these activators strip the body of cofactors and actually make you less healthy, not more healthy. These single element so called vitamins actually can cause more problems than they purport to help. When you look at the ingredients in the bottles, you will see loads of excipients that are also damaging and many actually cancer inducing like talc. All the pill manufacturers use talc to give good release from the machines. Bad news. Anything that helps the muscles will help the heart. Calcium and magnesium are key elements. good luck to you

This Patient Guide is written for the loved ones of heart patients who are dealing with the short-term stress that comes with a test, procedure or recent diagnosis of heart disease. It explains why support is so important to a loved one with heart disease. It also offers practical strategies on how to support a loved one while also taking care of yourself.
4 :
There is no specific nutrient or combination(s) that will prevent heart disease. That said, there are several nutrients that the heart needs to maintain proper health and function. These include but are not limited to: calcium, iron and protein. Basically, since the heart is a muscle, any nutrient required for proper muscle support is needed by the heart as well. The diets of people living in the US and other developed countries normally provide adequate amounts of the essential nutrients to maintain health. It's other things we find in our diets that cause harm, particularly in the US. Things like saturated fat, trans fatty acids, cholesterol and sodium. The body does need certain amounts of some fats, cholesterol and sodium. It does not need any trans fat. We Americans consume way too much of these. Eating a diet high in fiber is recommended by most experts. A varied diet focusing on fruits, vegetables and whole grains is also promoted by most. Meats should include leaner cuts with all visible fat removed. Fish and poultry are recommended. Especially fish high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are another recommendation. Omega-6 can be found in liquid vegetable oils, including soybean oil, corn oil, and safflower oil. It is also found in soybeans, canola, walnuts, and flaxseed. Some people may benefit from dietary supplements. This is something that should be discussed with your healthcare provider. Physical Activity/Daily Exercise are also very important factors in fighting cardiovascular disease. This could be a simple as walking around the block or may include a gym membership with an intense cardio workout. Check out the links below if you want more information

Could Untreated Cavities lead to Heart Disease And/Or Death
Could Untreated Cavities lead to Heart Disease And/Or Death?
How?
Dental - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Your teeth have capillaries. A cavity is a hole in your tooth. If bacteria gets on the tooth it will get into the cavity, and into the capillary, then right to heart. I don't know about death, but you will have to be put on antibiotics.
2 :
I'll try and keep this brief. The real answer to your question requires a lot of anatomic and biologic background. So, no, untreated cavities will not lead to heart disease. Heart disease by definition is typically a problem with the arteries which feed the heart muscle itself, or problems with the heart muscle or associated veins/arteries. Can cavities cause death, yes in very rare cases. This is typically caused by swelling of the area under and around the tongue which can cause the airway to close, causing death. Even more, extremely RARE, is a systemic (whole body/bloodstream) infection that has started in a tooth. In many years of practice I have never seen one (and I have spent years at a University hospital). Addition: In case some one flips over this answer, some patients do require an antibiotic prior to dental procedures. This is due to specific health problems they may have. Some dental procedures have been reported to cause an increse in bacteria in the blood stream. This reason has led to SOME persons needing antibiotics prior to surgery, deep cleanings, etc. Yes, years ago some people died of what is known as "Bacterial Endocarditis", but this is EXTREMELY rare nowadays!

Do your think terrorism or heart disease is more dangerous
Do your think terrorism or heart disease is more dangerous?
Philosophy - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
People have a 1-in-5 chance of dying of heart disease in their lifetime. The odds of being the target of a terrorist act is over 1-in-500,000... probably closer to 1-in-1,000,000 given the actual frequency of attacks in the U.S. or Europe. So I'd say heart disease. ;-)
2 :
The idea of terrorism is a panopticon of violence. You don't know who will be a target. But you do know how to prevent heart disease. I don't know what I'm saying exactly... but I've argued that fast food is a weapon of mass destruction, so, there you have it: Considering no terrorist has the power to kill like a greasy restaurant chain.
3 :
I do worry about terrorism, but the chances of Al-Qaida targetting the small town where I live are pretty slim. My chances of having a heart attack are far greater. A few of you may have been the victim of terrorism or you know someone who has been. But everyone has been affected by heart disease, either directly or indirectly. In other words, you either have it or know someone who has. All in all, heart disease still kills far more people than terrorism. So, that makes it more dangerous.
4 :
What we really have to watch out for is the terrorists with heart disease. (And waterproof phones.)
5 :
In peaceful times, heart attack because terrorist attacks are scarce; however, some psycho may decide just to kill the whole human population by biological or nuclear warfare

What is organic heart disease
What is organic heart disease?
what does the word organic signifies here? What is the difference between organic heart disease and degenerative heart disease?
Heart Diseases - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Organic means the heart muscle is diseased as opposed to having something like BP effect the heart indirectly
2 :
There isn't necessarily a difference between organic heart disease and degenerative heart disease. Organic diseases are contained within the affected organ, which means there is some type of abnormality in the organ (which is the heart in this case). Abnormalities may be present at birth, or they may develop from some type of injury that doesn't heal completely. If the abnormality affects organ function and becomes worse over time, it is a degenerative disease. You could have heart disease that is both organic and degenerative, a degenerative disease that is not organic, or an organic disease that is not degenerative.
3 :
There are two types of Organic H.D. - Congenital and Rheumatic. Defects that occur at birth are classed as Congenital Heart Disease. These may affect the heart itself : it may not have developed normally during pregnancy, the wall of the heart may be damaged (hole in the heart), or the blood vessels may be underdeveloped. These defects may be hereditary or more likely have been caused by external factors such as drugs or infection during pregnancy. They are normally diagnosed at birth or in early childhood but it is not uncommon for the symptoms to occur for the first time in adulthood. Rheumatic Heart Disease can be the result of a bout of rheumatic fever. Occurrences have decreased considerably due to the use of antibiotics to treat rheumatic fever. There are at least eight specific diseases, which fall into the category of Degenerative Heart Disease. The common factors within this category are that the disease has progressed gradually and that there is no specific event that has caused it.
4 :
I am afraid I can see no point in the prefix organic in this context. It is usually applied to distinguish between physical and psychological conditions. I suppose it might mean that a patient has a physical explanation for chest pain, as distinct from a non-physical or psychological one. It might be that you have taken the 2 words out of context. If a physician tested a patient with chest pain and found no identifiable cause,he might say 'there is no evidence or organic heart disease.

What does high cholesterol have to do with heart disease
What does high cholesterol have to do with heart disease?
Engineering - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Have high chlosterol causes a fatty deposit to clog up you're arteries therefore restricting the amount of blood that can pass through at any given time. This can cause clots which can lead to heart attacks, strokes & even death.
2 :
Our bodies cannot function without cholesterol, but where there is too much in the blood, the tendency is for it to be deposited as fatty plaque in the arteries which supply blood to vital organs like the heart and brain. When these organs are starved of sufficient blood as a result of the clogging of the arteries due to plaque, heart attack (cardio-vascular accident), stroke (cerebro-vascular accident) and many other complications follow. To find out more, wiki to cholesterol, or simply enter "cholesterol" in the yahoo search engine. If you are above a certain age, checking your cholesterol level regularly is a good idea

A sharp pain in the center of your chest can be caused by acid reflux. This condition is aggravated by constant stress. Acid that splashes back up into your throat can cause your esophagus to spasm resulting in a sharp pain. The effect is as if someone has reached inside your chest and is squeezing real hard. If an antacid or drinking a cool glass of water temporarily relieves the pain then you know what it is. GERD, gastroesphageal reflux disease or simply a real bad case of heartburn. (which of course has nothing to do with the heart) Since your ECG tested normal then there is a good chance this is what your problem is. You may need treatment for it, so time to make an appointment with an otolaryngologist. (ear, nose and throat specialist

No, but I know a 5 year old. Are you worried that you have it? I'm just asking because of all the questions about worrying and heart rates. Good luck

How is acid reflux related to heart disease or isn't it

It's not. I can say Acid reflux disease is not the cause of any heart diseases. It is basically the result of poor function of the junction between the stomach and esophagus. Long lasting reflux may lead to esophageal cancer but no heart problem will arise because of that.

Why do women's health issues get so much more attention than men's? Ex. Breast Cancer, Heart Disease
Why do women's health issues get so much more attention than men's? Ex. Breast Cancer, Heart Disease?
Corporations use issues such as Breast Cancer Awareness and Heart Disease for Marketing campaigns and the public falls for it. Do men and children not get sick? What is awareness..how does that DO anything.

Where did you hear that? women, men and children are equally important.
2 :
well breast cancer ummm becuase it doesnt happen to men, so obviously this issue would get alot of attention in the womans category
3 :
Breast cancer doesn't happen to men? You are a moron.
4 :
I originally thought this as well, but it turns out that until the the 1990's, womens health issues didn't get much press. This is why in many of the commercials facts about diseases are compared to that of mens. This recent surge is fairly new and it seems as though the media as well as corporations have discovered a new market.
5 :
I think its part of the unspoken American culture in denial to not talk about men's health issues as much as women's. Men still have this mocheasmo that keeps them from accepting such health problems. I do think the trend is starting to fade though. And on the flip side while health issues like prostate or testicalur cancer do not get as much publicity as women health issues - ads about male enhancement and preventing baldness are huge.
6 :
Men and children can both get breast cancer, however it is very rare for children to get it. Men can also get heart disease. Breast cancer isn't something that companies use to make money they just promote awareness and the research is very important so yes it does "DO" something

that person who said men can not get breast cancer is an idiot

Because women are better than men. trust me, I know.

men can so get breast cancer but not periods

Heart Disease Question (couldn't fit in the question bar, see details
Heart Disease Question (couldn't fit in the question bar, see details)?
People with heart disease sometimes take drugs that prevent clots from forming in the blood vessels. Infer how and when these drugs might put a person's health and safety at risk.
Heart Diseases - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
People with a wide variety heart diseases are prescribed drugs preventing cloth (thrombus) formation. These cloths are mainly generated in the veins of the lower limb (so-called DVTs - Deep Venous Thrombosis) or inside the heart (mural thrombi). The main fear of, in the first instance, generating DVTs are that they detach from their initial site of generation (embolism) and flows elsewhere, blocking the blood supply leading to infarcts. Regarding DVTs, most of them tend to block the lung (pulmonary) circulation, leading so-called pulmonary embolism, a potential lethal complication of DVT. Mural thombi on the other hand rather tend to block the cerebral (brain) vessels, leading to a stroke, or in some cases they may block the renal (kidney) arteries or other organs arteries. And now comes the main point, or at least one of the main points; HOW are these thrombi FORMED? Thrombi tend to be formed where: 1) The blood flow is abnormal / low (as in the legs of old people) 2) Where you have damaged blood vessels (endothelial/endocardial damage) 3) Or poor contraction (applies for the mural thrombi) And now to the next main point; WHAT DRUGS might be used to avoid these cloth formations? 1) We might use drugs regulating the heart contractions, avoiding mural thrombus formation in a very FEW cases. 2) But we generally use what is commonly called "Blood thinners", medicines which lowers the ability of the blood forming these viscous cloths, both in the heart and elsewhere. Common names are Heparin and Coumarin. And now to the last main point; What are the RISKS? First of all it should be said that the advantages of taking such medicines by far (generally) are superior to the disadvantages if prescribed correctly. Among common side-effects are a increased bleeding tendency, and in a VERY few cases we might see extremely rare (acute) complications as Heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia and such. However, if treated correctly according to the protocol, you wont see much to any sort of complication!
2 :
Like all drugs, they damage the body in many ways. Sometimes it is necessary to take drugs to prevent a dangerous event, such as a blood clot if the body is damaged, etc. Sometimes things like beta blockers are necessary to save a person's life in E.R. cardiac unit, but to use these drugs long term is not wise and down right dangerous. Blood thinners can cause a person to bleed to death if they get a major cut and are taking them because the blood simply will not clot to stop the bleeding. It is always best to focus on making yourself healthy and not just treating a symptom like most doctors do for a chronic problem. People with heart disease have a history of eating poorly and not taking good care of their health. To rely on modern medicine to correct the problem is to take a pill for life support. By changing your diet to a healthy one, getting good exercise, and learning what truly causes heart disease and then approaching a sensible regimen that addresses a focus on health, one can truly become healthy and avoid heart disease and the complications of it. good luck to you

For my cat with kidney disease also has a heart condition is the sub-Q therapy/liquid the only choice she has
For my cat with kidney disease also has a heart condition is the sub-Q therapy/liquid the only choice she has?
I dont want my severe kidney disease suffering cat to receive the subcutaneous fluid therapy (sub-Q) because it would be too painful for her and she is 15 years old and suffers a heart murmur (a sort of heart condition). I've been told cats who suffer from a heart condition shouldn't receive this sub-Q treatment because it's dangerous. I need to know what other options are out there instead of the subcutaneous fluid therapy/liquid (sub-q), there has to be other options. The vet i'm taking her with isn't very helpful he offered that option, and I really need to know what to do so her kidneys get better fast, right now she doesn't have a treatment or an adequate diet:-( I need urgent speedy help to find a better vet (preferably holistic) in Chicago. If anyone knows please let me know i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

There's not a lot you can do about this. Normally they'll try to "restart" the kidneys with an IV of fluids, but with your cat having heart problems, and I would imagine that this is congestive heart failure (CHF)...besides her heart murmur, you're vet is giving her IV fluids sub q so she's not overloaded quickly with fluids. I hate to say this...but you need to consider that the time for your loved cat is just about over. If she continues to go down, then you really need to consider euthanasia. I wish you only the best of luck.
2 :
If you are blessed enough to have had this cat for fifteen years you are blessed indeed. Both conditions require a lot of pain and suffering that if it were my decision I would opt to let the cat die peacefully. After all it is fifteen years old and that is old for a cat. So old that chances are anything that the Vet offers is not going to prolong it's life long enough to make it worth it. This may sound harsh but it is pocket money for the Vet. A Vet is not going to tell you not to treat, that is you're choice. A Vet is going to want you to run up a bill and be responsible for paying it. While we need Vets for those of us that have animals that we love and want to take care of Vets suck you dry when it comes to certain treatments. If you are so devastated that you can bot consider euthanasia and letting it die peacefully without more pain then you need to research and see where you can get treatments elsewhere and less costly. I feel for you. A family pet is hard to loose and it hurts, but there are so many animals out there that need a good home.
3 :
You're in a very difficult situation with this - I feel for you. Whether or not you choose to give subQ fluids should depend on the severity of your cat's heart condition. Your vet SHOULD be giving you guidance on this and should be willing to answer any questions you have about this honestly and thoroughly. It sounds like you need to find a different vet, since your vet seems unwilling to help you in that regard. You can use this link to find a feline specialist: http://www.aafponline.org/ There is also a yahoo group for people with crf cats - perhaps someone there could recommend a vet in your area. A vet experienced in using ultrasound can examine your cat's heart with ultrasound and give you a good idea of her heart health, and help you to make a decision regarding the balance of the risks vs. the benefits of subq therapy. If the vet recommends it, you can do subq therapy at home with minimal stress to your cat, and it will really help the kidneys. I did subq therapy at home for my CRF cat for 4 years and it didn't really seem to bother her, and I could tell it made her feel better afterwards. This link has advice on how to do subq therapy: http://www.felinecrf.com/managb.htm If the vet assesses your cat's heart and decides that subq therapy is not a good idea for her, you should consider having a discussion with him or her about quality of life and euthanasia, to help you to decide at what point you may want to consider helping your cat to pass over peacefully. It's not something people like to think about, but it's better to honestly consider your thoughts and options in advance, so you can better handle it if or when the time comes. My best to you & your dear cat.
4 :
I work in a veterinary clinic in PA. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done. Kidney failure is VERY serious. At my clinic we too recommend sub-q fluids. This is less painful than you may think. The animals are usually more bother or annoyed by the fluid "lump" than the administration of the fluids themselves. After you cat has been getting the fluids for a while, you might find that she will be less apprehensive about them. The fluid will make her feel better, and she will know this and become more receptive the idea of them. What the fluid do is help take the load off the kidneys. We also recommend a special diet, low in protein, high in carbs. Rx foods are also available-but can be expensive. If your are uncomfortable with your vet, you should look for a new one, but FAST. The longer you withhold treatment from your cat, the worse off she will be. A few drug you should find more info about are Azodyl and Hepagen (hepagen is holistic). I wish you and your cat the best
5 :
This is a sensitive issue so bear with me--- Science Diet K/D is the food she should be eating for one. Protein is the enemy when the kidneys are failing. K/D is formulated to be easy on the kidneys but still provide what they need nutritionally. As for the fluids- I am sorry to say that the kidneys need it. They need to flush several times a week in order for them not to completely shut down. The pain is in the problem, there is a discomfort associated to having kidney failure. Having a heart problem means there needs to be greater care in keeping stress to a minimum. Fluid therapy, K/D, and a lot of TLC will help greatly...oh yea, keep checking the blood work!! Good luck!
6 :
First of all you have been very blessed to have this sweet cat in your life for 15yrs. But what you have to think about now is it fair to your cat to prolong her life any longer. Are you trying to do it for your pet or for you because you cant let go? Think about the quality of life for your pet against the quantity of life. It is a very hard decision to make I know because I had to put to sleep a very sweet cat of mine by the name of Simba. He had feline aids. There was treatment for that but his vet said that the quality of life would not be very good. It was a hard decision but the right one to do for him. Good luck in what ever measure you take with your sweet cat

He should be getting medical advice from his doctor. He needs to have this problem addressed and treated.
2 :
what does his doctor tell him? if he hasn't see one tell him to go get checked out. now you and him can go to a heath food store and get some vitamins he can take Garlic for the heart Cinnamon to regulate the sugar in his system, fish oil for heart disease Drink plenty of water with vitamins and through out the day walk for 30 minutes a day Eat healthy vegetables and fruits stop eating after 7 pm

Yes, it would help breath if you can fall asleep on your back, but your body will unconsciously roll and change position while you sleep. And it is most likely not while he is sleeping that he has problems, but while standing up, or rising to a stand from a seated position. My father had a very slow heart rate and he wasn't getting sufficient oxygen pumping through his system. He also would keel over from lack of oxygen. (Even fell off the roof one time!) He was finally implanted with a pacemaker to increase his heart rate and didn't have any more problems for five years before he had a myocardial infarct at age 81. If your dad hasn't seen a doctor yet about the fainting, do encourage him to do so very soon. He is flirting with stroke and heart attack. He may be on a Beta Blocker that slows down the heart rate.

Hi Dmorgan9.., You must be loved by your dad. You are so caring and supportive of your dad. When we get old we will get this type of disorders. There could be many reasons for his disorder. Some of them are 1. Heart failure 2. Anaemia 3. Arterial disease 4. Lung diseases 5. Brain tumours etc. The best thing is for your dad to see a doctor. You can assist him by saying, Dad can we see your doctor together. Finally, please consider learning CPR if something should happen to your beloved dad and he loses consciousness. Good luck.
5 :
I am a heart patient also. I've had four heart attacks now, had six bypasses and have three stints put in, been given about six years if everything goes O.K. in the first place if he's a heart patient, does he take blood pressure pills, they may be to strong for him. I take Tenorman, I have to cut them in half at the doctors orders, I get light headed and see double otherwise. He should be taking one aspirin a day. Did he have his heart checked lately, like within the last few weeks ? what other meds is he on and what type of heart problem does he have ? Check his meds and call the doctor.
6 :
Get him to a doctor soon. He may be developing occlusion of the main artery in his neck. This can lead to stroke and other embolisms. Need to know about meds before any advice but he should be seen by a doctor soon. He's got a good 20 years in him yet, don't lose out

He should be getting medical advice from his doctor. He needs to have this problem addressed and treated.
2 :
what does his doctor tell him? if he hasn't see one tell him to go get checked out. now you and him can go to a heath food store and get some vitamins he can take Garlic for the heart Cinnamon to regulate the sugar in his system, fish oil for heart disease Drink plenty of water with vitamins and through out the day walk for 30 minutes a day Eat healthy vegetables and fruits stop eating after 7 pm

Yes, it would help breath if you can fall asleep on your back, but your body will unconsciously roll and change position while you sleep. And it is most likely not while he is sleeping that he has problems, but while standing up, or rising to a stand from a seated position. My father had a very slow heart rate and he wasn't getting sufficient oxygen pumping through his system. He also would keel over from lack of oxygen. (Even fell off the roof one time!) He was finally implanted with a pacemaker to increase his heart rate and didn't have any more problems for five years before he had a myocardial infarct at age 81. If your dad hasn't seen a doctor yet about the fainting, do encourage him to do so very soon. He is flirting with stroke and heart attack. He may be on a Beta Blocker that slows down the heart rate. There are other bp meds that do not have that effect. It may be that with surgical intervention he could live with this for another twenty years. Additionally, he should NOT be driving until his condition changes. Babe

Yes. There are surgeries that can be performed to correct alot of them and allow the children to live full, normal lives and sometimes a transplant is required if the condition is severe enough but not too severe where nothing can be done.
2 :
well..it depends on the overall health of the baby.in case of preterm or premature babies or any other physical abnornality,survival chances decreases but still most of the time they make it through....isolated cases of heart anomalies r quite successfully treated these days......but the type of congenital anomaly is also an imp. influencing factor affecting the prognosis.
3 :
ive had one all my life and in my teens it started to become a problem. they didnt even know about it! so YES of course theres hope.
4 :
Absolutely! I have Single Ventricle, and I had 3 open heart surgeries. I'm doing fine now, and when I was a baby the surgery was relatively new. Advancements are made constantly, and there is SO MUCH hope. If you want to talk about it, e-mail me!

Primates are closest to humans in many ways that cause diseases. Heart diseases are not an exception. Though diet based/atherosclerotic heart problems are not common in primates, there are other causes such as congenital coronary abnormalities and coronary spasm do occur in primates resulting in heart attacks. There is no comprehensive study done in this realm and available sources are sketchy

Hi, The signs may be difficult to identify and may mimic other conditions. Typically there is pain in the chest with tightness and difficulty in breathing. Sweating, nausea and feeling faint may be other symptoms. The pain may be in the front of the chest or behind the breastbone. From there it may go to the neck or left arm. In severe cases, the patient may look pale due to a fall in blood pressure rapidly leading to death. The doctor takes a detailed medical history, checks the heartbeat and records the blood pressure. An electrocardiogram, ECG, is taken which is record of the electrical activity of the heart. An ECG gives information about the rate at which the heart is beating, whether there are any abnormal rhythm patterns and also if there are areas of the heart muscle that are damaged due to the heart attack. It is important to remember that a normal ECG in the early stages does not exclude the possibility of a heart attack. Blood tests like Troponin T & I CPK estimation are useful in identifying if the heart muscle has been damaged. An X-Ray of the chest may be done. An echocardiogram is a type of scan that gives useful information on the functioning of the heart. Conclusive evidence of blockage in the coronary vessels is provided by the coronary angiogram.

i agree with doctor mojo. and there are specific diagnosis that your doctor will order for a specific heart disease. ECG is most used when there is an emergency, and as well as if the doctor is suspecting if you had a heart attack

Heart Disease or Clogged arteries
Heart Disease or Clogged arteries?
normally result from eating foods high in cholesterol, fats, sodium, etc, right? But what if a person hardly eats all day and then eats unhealthy foods but still does not exceed the daily amount of fat/cholesterol/sodium? Can this still cause clogged arteries or heart disease even though the person is not exceeding any limits? At the same time, though, it's similar to hardly eating but when they do eat, they eat fast foods or snack-like foods. Can this cause that damage?

dear, fast food/snack-like foods/junk foods/ or what ever u call it, all those are UNhealthy foods. fast foods, to make them readily served, are made up of preservatives, which is also made up of high amounts of sodium, so that the food will be preserved. another is that they are full of fats and cholesterol,especially burgers,lasagnas and the like. Remember, all preserved foods are high in sodium. junk foods are included also in the list. here's the patho physiology: long term intake of foods high in sodium, fats, and cholesterol may cause accumulation of fat deposits on the arterial wall, thus constricting the vessel. constriction of the vessel will result to hypertension. chronic hypertension with atherosclerosis may lead to a more fatal condition, or even death.. so, beware on what ur eating!!!

Yes, if you do not supply your body with the right balances (including anti-oxidants), then with the diet you are following you are encouraging oxidation process, which will have the only results: Clogged arteries, heart disease, cerebrovascular attack or whatever you want

stem cells are precursor cells, meaning they are not any type of cell yet, but have the potential to become ANY cell in the body. therefore because a person suffering from type 1 diabetes can't make insulin, stem cell therapy can be used to create Beta cells in the Islets of Langerhaan (in the pancreas) which could then produce insulin for the sufferer. heart attack - could be used to create new heart muscle tissue. parkinsons - could be used to create brain cells.

Are feminists outraged at this overt sexism? http://www.dietcoke.com/reddress http://www.cdc.gov/heartDisease/statistics.htm If, as the feminists responding below claim, that women die "many unnecessary deaths" and that they die at "greater rates than men", then why does the CDC say that 51% of heart disease-related deaths are women (when 51% of the population is women)? Capricorn12: Diet ads target women because feminism has reduced the value of women to objects. Whereas men once looked at women as maternal partners for the development of a family, they are now seen as self-oriented employees. So what use is a woman to a man except as a tool for pleasure? Hence the diet fads...To maximize feminine utility. Julie: Those are "death" that I cited, not those "living" with heart disease. Can you please cite evidence that, in 2002, a significant number of post-mordem examinations of women incorrectly determined that something other than heart disease was the cause of death when it really was...Or are you just talking out of your a$$?

For years, heart disease was researched solely from a male's perspective...that is to say, very few studies were done on women and women's heart health. because of this, and the fact that there are many differences between the way a heart attack affects a man and a woman, many more women died due to heart attacks. so that's why you are seeing this drive for women's heart health these days...it's just a change in the way the medical community is looking at gendered medicine EDIT- here's a bit of logic... if heart attacks were misdiagnosed...then...how would the doc's know the woman died of a heart attack? i'm sorry that you're so unaware of the world around you that you can't even be bothered to pay attention to mundane medical news. do you ever read? any thing? any thing other than your own questions here on Y/A? EDITED YET AGAIN- hey, fem, what years, aprox, were women valued for their "motherness" and not seen as objects? because even in the 50's, lifesaver's ads were targeted to young women trying to lose weight.

Did you know that the symptoms for a heart attack in a man...are nothing like the symptoms in women? Most people dont....Doc's just figured that out a few years ago. Heart attacks in females were and still are misdiagnosed all the time, leading to unnecessary deaths. The truth is men and women are different and our health risks, problems, and solutions are different. In the past they have only "studied" men..and assumed it was the same for women. On average womens "health care" is about ten years behind. We need to catch up.

I think it's because heart disease has been seen as a man's disease, which is why most women don't take it seriously. The ad is trying to get women to get checked out. Do men see it as sexism that most diet and health food ads are targeted towards women? Side note: Why the hell would Coke, of all companies, be talking about heart health, as if their liquid cocaine in a bottle is healthy??
4 :
Anything that supports females over males will never be argued against by feminists. Above is evidence of that. Instead, they 'justify' it.
5 :
Has it occured to you that Coke's clever marketing department realized that most Coke is purchased by females and therefore supporting this cause might help their sales?
6 :
I just saw a study on this actually... Women are less likely to get appropriate medical treatment for a heart condition or even heart attack...ER's tend to tell them it's indigestion, pat them on the head and send them home.... The ads are part of an educational campaign so that women will know that they are just as likely as a man to have heart disease and to try and dispel the myth among them (and perhaps doctors) that only a 60 year old man can have heart problems

It is okay as long your heart is in a good condition. You need to ask your cardiologist about that Post your questions in: http://med50.blogspot.com/2010/04/patient-education-program.html
3 :
The fact that you are pregnant means that your body will have to work harder to grow and support a baby. You should consult your GP as soon as possible and get an appointment to talk with whoever is looking after your heart condition. You will need careful monitoring and medical support if you want to continue with this pregnancy. Your doctors will be able to explain how this may affect you, whether there are significant risks to you or your baby and what options are available to you. Good luck, do get expert advice ASAP though
