You can have angioplasty/stents if you begin to have flow limiting disease in either a bypass graft or native vessel. Some people have "re-do" bypass surgery if they develop a bunch of blockages again. Sounds like you've done well after your surgery, that's great!
2 :
You have done well.To maintain the heart and arteries do these pranayam(breathing exercises) everyday.You will notice improvements in the next medical test results and will not need surgery.Build up your timing gradually.If tired or dizzy,stop and resume later.Stay healthy and tell others. Anulom Vilom – Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril. This is one cycle of anulom vilom. Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day). You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed. Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently

The only thing that you can lose on a Colon Cleanse diet is... your life. It's a scam. The human body is very efficient; it can get rid of its own wastes without much help from us. In fact, all we should do to help is to eat a good, well balanced diet. There are 35 different types of Congenital Heart Disease, along with the associated problems that can develop from them. Some foods may react with your medications. Your best source of information for your condition is your doctor, ask him. He'll tell you, or he'll get you an appointment with a nutritionist.

There are many types of congenital heart problems some of which are more serious than others. The fact that it is "congenital" means that you have had it since birth and you have been living with it for many years. The fact that you have been living with it for so many years means it is not a critical. Just how serious it is depends on your specific condition. If surgery is applicable, have you discussed it with your doctor? You do not have to "diet" unless you are over weight. Even then you should just eat healthy. Less fat and sugar, more fiber, protein and fluids. Also carefully control your portions. You should discuss with your doctor the exact nature of your heart condition and what, if any, exercise would be appropriate for you.

Congenital heart defect corrective surgery may be done at the appropriate time. Long term antibiotic treatment may be taken if necessary to prevent endocarditis. A healthy diet is a major factor in reducing your risk of heart disease.

idk how it would help parkinsons but if the heart attack of a person is caused by its' pace maker cells you could just simply replace the old one w/ the artificial heart and good to go. diabetes... i would assume it has something to do with making artificial bone marrows.
2 :
They help by - tissue regeneration. However, such researches are still going on and it's not 99% safe yet. At least not now yet.

Stem cells have room to grow and develop still.. that is why stem cell therapy is so helpful

Do I have Heart Disease or Something

Do I have Heart Disease or Something?
I am 28 weeks pregnant and this just started happening about a month ago. First my heart starts skipping a beat about every 20 seconds and whn it begins up again it feels like it's beating really hard. Then, after thats been happening for about a minute or two, it feels like my entire heart just begins vibrating for a second, so much so it makes my vision blurry, or shaky, for that second. Is there something wrong with me? I know I need to ask a DR. but I wont be able to for a few more weeks. Your opinion?

Tell you dr about it. i suffer from PVC's which feels like your heart is fluttering. Mine were worse towards the end of my preganancies and after. I ignored them for years. About 2 yrs ago I went to a cardiologist and was put on a 24 hr holter monitor and it picked some up. Mine were said to be harmless, but more annoying then bad. I know that I have read that when your magnesium levels are low and depleted it can cause these. I put 2 and 2 together and figured that purhaps being pregnanat and nursing was taking my magnesium. I take a mag supplement now and it helps sooooo much. But you have to get a good mag that is easily absorbed such as Natural Calm magnesium drink, it comes in powder form. Check with your Doc though if it is Ok to take while pregnant. Good Luck

De Musset was a famous poet who commented on his head bobbing to the beat of his heart while writing to his lover. This same lover was probably responsible for the Syphilis that caused him to have an incompetent aortic valve, which caused severe aortic regurgitation. Years later the sign of "head bobbing" in severe aortic regurgitation is called the De Musset sign. Hope that helps

where did this belief that LDL causes heart disease com from when those

where did this belief that LDL causes heart disease com from when those?
who have low LDL become JUST AS SCLEROTIC as those with high LDL as revealed by autopsy studies?
Heart Diseases - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
I have not heard of any cases where just having low LDL leads to atherosclerosis. CHD is normally correlated with high LDL and/or low HDL (impaired reverse cholesterol transport). I guess the only other way would be in Ssc, where antibodies attack oxidized LDLs, forming sclerotic arteries. Anything else would seem to be caused by a congenital defect.
2 :
The answer to your question comes from research in China conducted by Professor Emeritus T. Colin Campbell of Cornell University. This is the largest study of the relationship between diseases of affluence and diet. Studies in the US tend to be more difficult because the lifestyle of Americans tends to be homogeneous. Only about 1% of the population in America is full vegetarian, so studies such as the "nurses study" tend to compare groups that have pretty much the same intake of casein (milk protein) and other animal protein. Other studies such as Dr. Dean Ornish show a clear correlation between animal protein consumption and heart disease. If your population is mostly eating a standard American diet (SAD), then you will not see the correlation because there is too little difference. The recommended diet by the American Heart Association is not enough. People must be on a nearly 100% plant protein diet to see a difference. During the Korean War, comparisons between casualties on the Korean side versus the American side were stark. The North Koreans had virtually no heart disease. The American army, however, well fed on dairy, meat, and fat, showed nearly 100% evidence of some heart disease (clogging of arteries). This is correctly attributed to high saturated fats in the diet. By the way, the effects of LDL and HDL are generally overstated by drug companies promoting statin drugs. A diet and lifestyle change is many more times effective than drug treatment
