In today article we will tell you how to prevent heart attack.There are really four things a person should do. Someone does not smoke. One is to reduce their body weight by up to 25.
Now, it didn't have to be 25, it would be 27, 27.5. If you do not know what a body mass index is, go to Google and search it for directions. Enter your height and weight and it will tell you what it is.
Someone is eating at least five fruits and vegetables a day. And that is really important.
And that's a strenuous exercise, a fast walk, Like that. If you can do those four things, it has been shown to reduce the risk of death, heart disease, stroke - by 40 percent in just four years.
Now you might say it is not so much, but let's compare it with that and more. Let's compare that with stents.
Stents do not reduce your chances of doing so. What about drugs? We take Liptore, Zocor that maybe a third or a quarter is good.So lifestyle things are incredibly important.
And only 3% of person do these four things.And that is a sad part because these are not toxic substances.
They are not things that will damage your liver or not. Things will cost you a lot of money. In fact, they will probably save you money. Yes, a few groups.
One family history somehow.You know, I think we all pay close attention to family history and that people knew that their father had a heart attack at the age of 48 and now they are 46 years old and want to start worrying about it.
We have problems that we see in the beginning and before. Patients are there with heart disease and stroke. , Fred or Mary have this thing, am I in danger? And they come in with that.
In the third group there are people who have been diagnosed with a known disease, they do all they can about passing, getting treatment. But they still have a problem.
And they come in and say, “What else should I do? It's funny because now we go back to the basics and say, what do you do, what are the basic things you need to do? -
In fact, this is just one of four studies of a 16,000 patient study. They brought 16,000 patients and said, do these four things: eat well, do not smoke, exercise,
and lose weight. And that just came out last year and a half.
When I was a mediator, patients would come in with a terrible heart condition.
They had asystole, their heartbeat not beating. They had completely closed their left artery and their mortality could reach 25-30%. But with a stent intervention, a balloon,
you can have a 92% chance of getting out of the hospital 4-5 days later, going straight. Success. So that was a very good level of success. It is very satisfying.
Prevention is slightly different. People come in, they don't eat well? They don't exercise, they are stressed, hey they don't care. The national conversion rate is about 2%.
We have a 98% failure rate and there is not really much research in that area other than providing statins and some of those drugs. So we try to do some research that says, what things we really need to do to help you get back to basics.
Because finding, especially this arc research has shown us, it is very important that you get back to basics and take care of yourself. We are investigating a few things.
One of these is cholesterol-lowering agents such as statins and sterols combined with fish oil, which we know can reduce your chances of a sudden heart attack.
Fish oil is the only food ever approved by the American Heart Association. a day because about 1000 milligrams, DHA and EPA, two active ingredients next to the bottle and fish oil will reduce your chances of sudden death.
And it is a very low risk. We learn that we learn what types of things can lead patients to change their behavior.
Yes, we all tell patients things and that teaches them, but we do not change their behavior, which is a completely different fish jar.
And that takes a lot of research to look at that. We look at the stem cell response of your body.
We know that people with heart disease and who start exercising after a heart attack have more stem cells, ancestral cells that can go to your heart and help grow new muscles.
That those who work and exercise after a heart attack have more of those cells than those that do not.
So again, it looks at the things you can do is a patient to really help yourself the most.
