a quetstionnaire of coronary heart disease?
105505
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become hardened and narrowed. The arteries harden and narrow due to buildup of a material called plaque (plak) on their inner walls. The buildup of plaque is known as atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). As the plaque increases in size, the insides of the coronary arteries get narrower and less blood can flow through them. Eventually, blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, and, because blood carries much-needed oxygen, the heart muscle is not able to receive the amount of oxygen it needs. Reduced or cutoff blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle can result in:\n\n    * Angina (AN-ji-na or an-JI-na). Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart does not get enough blood.\n    * Heart attack. A heart attack happens when a blood clot develops at the site of plaque in a coronary artery and suddenly cuts off most or all blood supply to that part of the heart muscle. Cells in the heart muscle begin to die if they do not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. This can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle.\n\nOver time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle and contribute to:\n\n    * Heart failure. In heart failure, the heart can’t pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. Heart failure does not mean that the heart has stopped or is about to stop. Instead, it means that the heart is failing to pump blood the way that it should.\n    * Arrhythmias (a-RITH-me-as). Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart. Some can be quite serious.\n\nCAD is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women.

there are two types: bad cholesterol (found in foods like red meat) that clot your blood vessels and good cholesterol (found in foods like nuts) that lower the risk for heart disease.

The link I'm providing is a study titled, "Type 2 Diabetes: An Inflammatory Disease Process? Clinical and Physiological Links Between Diabetes and Heart Disease." \n\n"In a large seven year study, for which over 12,000 patients were screened, cardiovascular risk was demonstrated to be associated with an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) ..."\n\nI'm not a doctor, nor am I suggesting you may have heart disease, but the study is an interesting read, nonetheless.\n\nI hope you find the answer you're looking for.  Good luck!

Hi scared....Boy do I know how you feel!  I walked into the emergency room on June 23, 2003 holding my chest.  My Cholesterol was >500, triglycerides >1200, and I weight 230 pounds....about 70 pounds over for me.  For some reason I turned down an angiogram and anything invasive and started on a quest for health.  I’ve been a Chef for years but the idea that food (and exercise) could so dramatically affect health escaped me somewhere....as it does just about all Americans.  The fact is that we in America have created this nice little fantasy world that exists apart and separate from the environment that nourishes us; the earth.  My journey has led me to a greater understanding of my own body and how it fits into the earth system.  I took two drugs for a few days over 1 month, just until my Doctor indicated that the momentum had switched to blood lipid reduction and I through them away and realized way more than half of my blood lipid reduction through diet and exercise alone.  In under 6 months I had bounced off of 150 ponds and settled about 160...my cholesterol was <150, triglycerides <100, I’d put on 10 ponds of muscle mass....I felt and looked GREAT...the best I’ve looked or felt in 45 years!\n\nI’m presently studying to become a Registered Dietician so that I can help plain folk like you and I help themselves faster and easier.  Although I could....and WILL in the future....offer some very concrete advise, especially on how to get through this on a day to day basis, I’m going to defer to several well qualified sources below that will get you going...spend a few hours on the vegsource website....find a teacher-Doctor there that appeals to you....I’ve highlighted two below.....get their DVDs (as well as the vegsource lecture DVDs) and books......put what they teach into daily practice......turn off the TV and tune in to life......exercise DAILY and eat right....become apart of the earth environment!  \n\nGood luck.....you can do this...I KNOW because I did it MYSELF.....I and others are with you!!\n\nDr. John McDougall\nhttp://www.drmcdougall.com/index.html\n\nDr. Neal Barnard\nhttp://www.nealbarnard.org/index.htm\n\nJohn Robbins\nhttp://www.foodrevolution.org/\n\nVegSource....a great resource for tons of health oriented teachers...\nhttp://www.vegsource.com/

Yours is a good question.\n\nUnfortunately, to answer it one would need to know more about your general health: information obtained through a complete physical exam, such as:\n\nBody weight, resting pulse, resting blood pressure, etc.\nAny underlying diseases.\nWhat medications if any you are currently taking.\nWhat your baseline EKG looks like.\n\nThe list is quite long, frankly.\n\nI would suggest that you ignore any answers on this web site that give you a specific number.  At this point without the above information, any such suggestions would be dangerous.\n\nMake an appointment an see a doctor you trust, be as honest as you can about your medical history and allow him or her to perform a complete physical examination.  \n\nYou will have your answer.
