good and educational - never learned this as a cardiac nurse, not as a patient either. So much lack of information, it's scary, frankly. Thank you!

I’ve wondered whether being on antidepressant for 30+ could have had an impact on my husband. He also went through a drinking phase and smoked for 17 years. He watched his diet all through his life. He was absolutely bowled over when it was discovered in the Cath lab that he had a nearly complete LAD blockage.

Well I have a question to ask I have 69 to 70% blockage in my left carotid artery and my calcium score was 1000. I also did not do well on my stress test! there were irregular beats or extra beats! So my doctor wanted to put me on a statin and I said no because I have osteoarthritis sorry attic arthritis fibromyalgia and enough pain in my body from my head to my toes. I’m also pre-diabetic and I’m overweight by 50 or 60 pounds. I’m also over 60 years by quite a bit and I am female! I didn’t want to do the 81 mg aspirin because of my stomach so he’s gonna put me on Paxil or something that’s does the same thing and you still have it go through your stomach. I don’t know if it’s any better than an aspirin. So I’m going to see a vascular surgeon that was my idea not my doctors. Because I am concerned about the soft plaque. My cholesterol is a little high but I like it high my HDL‘s are high and my triglycerides are low. My LDL’s are high but I need to know which kind they are with their fluffy or their small bad guys. Also wanna know if I have the factory genetically that causes you to possibly have that in your blood and then end up having a stroke or a heart attack because my mom had a stroke and my grandfather had a heart attack that was my grandfather on my mother side, her father! Yes I’m also insulin resistant and have metabolic syndrome. However my blood sugar tends to be kind of low because I don’t eat very often. I was thinking the plaque is probably cause I eat cheese and dairy products and eggs and things with high saturated fat including coconut yogurt which is 18 g of fat in one little container. So what are your ideas about how I can stop having so much plaque in my carotid artery and that means it’s everywhere I also have sensor peripheral neuropathy cold feet cold hands and I have horrific pain in my hand sometimes in arrhythmic pain in my feet and legs. So I am hunting for a vascular surgeon who does carotid arteries and not sure if I should consider the TCAR or do the old-fashioned one where they just take the plaque out and don’t put a stent in. But that is a bigger incision more dangerous surgery because of the nerves like a Touchton the things in your throat and a longer recovery. I only mention that because I don’t wanna wait till I’m older to have carotid surgery because I’ll be in less good shape if I’m older. How can you think of some tests I could have my doctor do to find out whether my plaque is calcified or soft. He’ll does a test for it.

Lifestyle important. That is contrary to the dietery advice given here, so many people have changed to a high fat red meat carnivour diet and fixed their heart disease.

allow me to add factors: mold, heavy metals, lyme, amalgam fillings, seed oils, EMFs, fear of healthcare system.....etc

I guess prevention does not make as much money as pushing drugs and procedures

15:00 - of course that's true! Cause - "low fat" = high seed oil! Correct -- normal weight, eat healthy, exercise. Way more to it.

You left out one of the most important ones and that’s quality sleep. Sleep is so important because that’s when your body gets a chance to heal. I’ve been paying attention to Byran Johnson who has a perfect sleep score!!

Well I was told at Aldi else have fluffy ones and they’re like 80% of your LDL’s and the other 20% of the bad guys of your LDL’s. And I hate to say this but I know people have low cholesterol and they have heart attacks and people have high cholesterol and they don’t have a heart attacks. So getting cholesterol so low is not good because your body is made of cholesterol your body needs cholesterol especially your brain. I disagree with lowering your cholesterol that low. And you can still have a heart attack on a statin you can still have a stroke on a statin. It doesn’t prevent it.

Can someone explain ina few simple sentences why we should believe that 120 systolic is the cut off for healthy and mild hypertension? The American Heart association now says 120/80 but can we trust an association which is supported and financed by pharmaceutical companies? The actuaries of a major health insurance company I know offers a 10% super health bonus for patentis who fulfil a number of criteria for "good health" in the opinion of the insurance company's actuaries. That iinsurance company sets the start of hypertension at average BP 140/80!! I tend to believe the insurance company actuaries. They are interested in accuracy and do not profit from getting people on drugs early. Doctors are interested in money. Until I hear otherwise I shall regard 140 stystolic not 120 as the cross over line for hypertension on the basis of the insurance company's threshhold.. What do other people think?
