Atherosclerosis.
That’s athero, which talks about the vessels in our heart, plus sclerosis, which means fibrosis of those vessels.
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of heart attacks worldwide. Understanding how this disease can lead to an attack starts with how your immune system works both for you and against you.
The good news is that thanks to medical advancements, people are living longer and surviving in the face of this disease.
So what are the symptoms of a heart attack? Symptoms of a heart attack include pain down the left side of your arm, shortness of breath, nausea and these are all associated with that cutoff of blood flow to the heart.
Risk factors for atherosclerosis and heart attacks include things that you can control like smoking, obesity, and diet-especially cholesterol. And some you can’t control, like age.
Cholesterol is a type of fat that’s made by our liver, and also absorbed from animal-derived foods. And there are two main types-HDL and LDL, commonly referred to as “good” and “bad” cholesterol. The bad cholesterol builds up on the walls of your arteries, increasing your risk of a heart attack, while HDL or good cholesterol works to clear bad cholesterol out.
On this episode of SICK, we sat down with DeLisa Fairweather, a PhD researchers in Jacksonville, Florida working at the Mayo Clinic, to learn more about the most common cause of heart attacks worldwide. Watch to learn more.

One avocado a day helps lower 'bad' cholesterol for heart healthy benefits

New research suggests that eating one avocado a day may help keep 'bad cholesterol' at bay. According to the researchers, bad cholesterol can refer to both oxidized low-densitiy lipoprotein (LDL) and small, dense LDL particles.

Evidence Of Heart Disease Found In Mummies
www.forbes.com...
Atherosclerosis, or a disease of the arteries characterised by the deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls, has largely been thought of as unique to modern Homo sapiens as a result of our modern high fat, high carb diet, higher stress lifestyle, and ever industrialising environment. However, the HORUS Study Group found back in 2013 that atherosclerosis existed at least as far back as 4000 bce. Furthermore, out of 137 mummified remains from 16th century Greenlandic Inuit communities from 3 continents across wide variations in lifestyle and heritage, 34 were found to have arterial calcification proving that heart disease has been an undeniable issue amongst our species far longer than anticipated and its factors may be more complicated than originally assumed.
New imaging modality targets cholesterol in arterial plaque
www.sciencedai...
Cholesterol in plaque, along with fat, calcium, and other blood-transported substances, can lead to atherosclerosis, a disease which can cause heart attacks or strokes. Early detection of cholesterol can lead to earlier treatments and improved health outcomes. Toronto-based researchers have demonstrated a unique detection technique that combines laser photoacoustics, a hybrid optical-acoustic imaging technology, with low-power continuous wave lasers and frequency-domain signal processing, in an approach known as photoacoustic radar. This advanced technology can accurately evaluate plaque-based cholesterol, and allow for more timely treatment of atherosclerosis.

*Saw my mom die right before me* No symptoms, no pain. I cry all the time seeing her empty bed and chair. *I wish I knew about :* 1) ApoE genes to change her diet accordingly. 2) Knew that inflammation is the main cause of it, hs-CRP levels should be monitored. 3) Homocysteine should always be low, to lower it go vegan for a few days and supplement with Vitamin B-12, B6, Folate, Riboflavin, know your MTFR genes first though. 4) You should know your Ferritin levels, Iron levels and keep them low. 5) Lipoprotein A , LP(a) is a gene that 1/3 of Americans and 1/2 of people in India have, this is an independent most dangerous factor for those who carry it. 6) Know your sex hormone level, testosterone and estrogen are made of cholesterol but after 50,you won't make that much of those hormones and that would lead to useless Cholesterol build-up. 7) Those with low 25 Hydroxy Vitamin D3 are prone to heart issues as well as depression. 8) If you're above 60 you might have unnecessary Calcification of your arteries, supplement with Vitamin K-2 (MK7) and Vitamin D3, get a CAC test before and discuss with your doctor. 9) Cut down on simple carbs as they generate high triglycerides in most cases which causes high VLDL and partially hydrogenated oils entirely. 10) Consume monounsaturated fats like Olive oil and nuts and seeds they help reduce LDL levels. 11) LDL particle size with small dense particles are dangerous, go for a CIMT test. 12) Check your TMAO levels, they are created from animal sources and also lead to atherosclerotic plaque in many cases, go vegan and see if it works or not. 13) Mother nature has gifted us with plant based antioxidants like Quercetin, Kamperferol, Apigenin, Luteolin, Rutin search for they wonderfully they work. 14) Check if you have lactose or gluten sensitivity as this has many things to disrupt your body. 15) See if your thyroid level is normal, those who hypothyroidism have high cholesterol levels and those with Hyperthyroidism die with sudden strokes due to arthymia. 16) End Table sugar consumption entirely, this is a poison. 17) Advanced Glycation End-Products generated from dried and smoked and burnt food coagulates and binds with the protein and ages you as well as disrupt your hormones. 18) Reduce your salt intake, this is the cause of 70% heart failure cases, excessive sodium leads to heart failure. 19) Go Indian, most of our spices are rocking the world with research, Turmeric (Curcumin), Clove (Eugenol), Pepper (Pipperine), Ceylon Cinnamon, so much more. 20) People who consume chillies have less heart attacks. 21) Check your blood pressure levels, this causes abnormalcy in the heart . 22) Stop heating the oils at high temperatures, this results in their oxidation also never keep the oil exposed to air or light. 23) Going Keto would help if you know your APOE genes, but keto is always better than a low fat ,high carb diet. 24) Intermittent Fasting is the best way to deactivate NF-κβ pathways, stay away from inflammation. Medical supervision is very necessary for this. 25) Try researching on NAD+ and how Vitamin B3 derivatives help keep our body stay young and healthy. 26) Stop going to restaurants they all feed us poison. So many products are sold with regulations and they sell us products laced with harmful ingredients. 27) Search for how to up your Glutathione, Superoxide Dismutase , Co-enzyme Q10 naturally they protect us 28) Vitamin C has been hypothesized to be lowest for people with heart disease, supplement it. 29) Vitamin E in the form of Tocotrienols is also very essential for heart health just like tocopherol, natural sources would be Anatto, Rice bran oil (i don't prefer Palm oil). 30) Teas like Black Tea has Theaflavins while Green Tea has Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate(EGCG) that have been proven to aid heart and protect us from cancer. 31) Eat Pomegranate and Beet they boost nitric oxide to the levels of medications , pomegranate Whey fermentation makes it even 10 times better thn Red wine (search on Google). 32) Don't follow the fad diets Keto, Carnivore, Vegan entirely, a balance of all nutrients is necessary, because most of the health protection comes form Vegetarian sources but yes, i don't support veganism either. 33) Check your fibrinogen levels if you have heart patients in your family. 34) Stop smoking , this thing has killed so many people. 35) Stop being silly, if you think that some people died with lung cancer without smoking and some who do smoke are still living, well, that's because of so many factors that are not researched, don't play this Russian roulette game with yourself. 36) Keep doing work all the day and exhaust yourself. This would keep your body and lungs happy (bit not very strenuously) yet keep yourself from being lazy couch potato. 37) Do you know that if you have High/low clotting factor then you need to take it seriously ? High would result in random heart attacks, low would lead you to have other kidney diseases. 38) Check your remnant cholesterol that is more dangerous than LDL levels. 39) There are some who believe LDL to be lower than. 60 mg/DL be wise , this can lead you to have dementia because all our cells are made of Cholesterol, it's not the culprit entirely. 40) Stop mixing carbs+ protein and carb + fats ,that's a dangerous combo. Carbs glycate and disturb everything 41) Know about krill and fish oil and their EPA and DHA proportion they work for reducing heart issues that is with the cost that they deactivate SIRT1 pathway and lead to use being susceptible to cancers , in theory, don't panic when you read this.. it may or may not be true. 43) Prolong fasting eats up zombie cells and reduce the macrophages that cause heart attacks, my theory is that it can reduce inflammation as well. Do yiur research. 44) Get your Circadian Rhythm on track, sleep early and wake up early. This sets up proper melatonin levels and keeps you from aging , don't you know that those who don't get adequate sleep die early ? 45) Eat soluble fibre that binds the cholesterol and clears it , example like beta glycans from barely, oats, wheat, flax, etc. 47) If you prefer nature, many fruits like Bergamot , Amla powder, have been known to ease the cholesterol issue. 48) Get love from someone it can your parents, friends, animals, this works psychologically, and calms you. 49) Do some research on Hydrogen water ,I'm not sure if it works but I'm only suggesting you guys. 50) ox-LDL can kill you , it's not LDL and if you think statins are saving you, no way ! They're only fooling the liver to stop preparing cholesterol, which can cause bile stones, once you remove yourgall bladder by operation, you'll forever have cholesterol issues , that's a trick most doctors trick you to get that operation done to never grow bile stones again. Because, bile stones are not calcium but actually cholesterol particles. Be wise. 51) Get adequate light, light activates EZ electron activity. But it should be very early morning light, not the one with UVA that games us or UVB that burns our skin. Our cells live on e- (election transfer) charges. 52) Generate mitochondria by taking ice cold baths for a few seconds or by taking Infrared Suana or fasting for a prolonged time. Higher mitochondria is a powerful thing to regenerate our cells. 53) Compounds like Pterostillbene, Resveratrol have been researched to protect us from age related diseases. 54) Check your interleukin formations , High IL-2 and IL-6 triggers many malfunctions in the body. 55) There's a simple test called as ankle brachial index test , Google it and it is the easiest test to check the blockage in the peripheral veins. 56) Spanish researchers have proved that taking hypertension drugs at nightime saves us by a span of 6 years over daytime intake. Google that. 57) Magnesium is needed by the heart to pump properly, so is Potassium , but check your kidney function before supplementing. 58) Copper, zinc , Selenium and Magnesium are the cofactors needed for Cellular activities in around 1000+ enzymatic activities, check that out for heart health too. 59) gum diseases are direct causes to heart attacks as the periodontal bacteria found in gums is found at the site of blockages always and that's how the relation exists. 60) There are some adaptogens which renew the cellular respiration some even are mild nootropics like Tulsi, while some like Gotu kola can be used with Pycnogenol to clear blocked arteries ,search them. 61) Troponin T is one blood test that immediately confirms if you're under a heart attack, ask your doctor for it if you have sudden chest ache or discomfort. 62) Women dont have pain as a sign of heart attack and it can feel like acidity or a chest burn in 50% of female heart attack victims. Be cautious with this fact. *always take an advice of your doctor and don't blindly follow me, this way would educate you and maybe help you with somethings that may or may not be good with you* All the Best with your life.

[@Pyriphlegeton]

Most importantly: keep your LDL-levels to 50-70mg/dl. Cut out dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, then these values are very much achievable.

[@abc_cba]

@@Pyriphlegeton I respectfully disagree with your hypothesis. 1) If you have Lp(a) , no matter what you do your levels for it would never drop. 2) LDL in patients that low can create dementia and make them hyper deficient in Vitamin D3 and sex hormones, which are both protective for the heart health. 3) Those guidelines are by Big Pharma to sell their drugs which make us more dependant on it and affect the natural Inhibition of HMG Coa reductase. 4) Eating low fat is all the more dangerous as the liver would produce more cholesterol to meet the lipid deficiency. 5) Fats are the last to be burnt as fuel but if you keep feeding carbs your body won't use protein to be burnt let alone fats. 6) If you have more Glycation to your serum levels you'd end up dead with a high carb diet. 7) Dietary cholesterol is not a big factor because many people like me automatically have high cholesterol for which high fibre diets are necessary and ofcourse low simple carbs and moderate protein and good sufficient healthy fats.

Except this is largely out of date thinking, though it's still commonly believed by many doctors. They are talking about the symptom rather than the primary cause in this clip. The cholesterol is trying to repair the damage, but it's not what's causing the original problem.

[@Pyriphlegeton]

@@Jake12220 1. And you're qualified how exactly? 2. So shouldn't higher cholesterol levels lead to better health outcomes? That's not what happens. High serum LDL levels are a good predictor of atherosclerosis. Macrophages invade the arterial wall underneath damaged endothelial cells. There they accumulate the lipids which are transported by LDL-Particles. This transforms them into immobile, pro-inflammatory, bloated "foam-cells" which continues the cycle of inflammation - damage - foam Cell creation - inflammation. A higher cholesterol level increases the statistical likelyhood of foam cell creation as well as cholesterol-oxidation, which is capable of damaging the endothelium by itself.

[@Jake12220]

@@Pyriphlegeton it's the same as inflammation, it's part of the healing process of the body, but too much causes it's own issues. The clot is from cholesterol breaking loose, but around 80% of a persons cholesterol is created internally, not from diet. It's a symptom rather than a cause. Atherosclerosis leads to heart attacks and cholesterol is associated with it, but it's not the cause of it. If you read health related websites then they would suggest things on the same lines as you are, but if you read the studies done over the last decade then it's clear we don't have a clear answer as to what causing the initial problem other than some type of damage that leads to the inflammation and then buildup and production of plaque, often starting in childhood or adolescence. This is a case study that doesn't come down on my side or yours, it just runs over why heart disease is still in the "it's complicated" and "more research is needed" baskets.

STOP. The lipid hypothesis was discredited. There is no correlation between consumption of fat and any heart condition. There is a correlation between the ratio of the two main types of LDL and heart disease, and of course this is not something your doctor checks (because it's more expensive). There is also a correlation between sugar and inflammation of arterial walls (another thing your doctor generally doesn't discuss).

I'm curious to see how atherosclerosis and cholesterol clots relate to vasodilation, when the blood vessels shrink and increase blood pressure (I know that in some cases, it is done in response to lower oxygen content in the blood in order to partition the oxygen to as many tissues as possible). I'm curious because the building layers' of fibrosis and low density lipoprotein cholesterol being combined with dilating blood vessels sounds like a dastardly combination, worsening the perfect storm mentioned at 3:04.

Heart attack, it comes out of nowhere like a stray bullet, at least if a bullet hits you, you'll know it.

[@anthonyposelenzny3098]

This makes no sense. This is not how arteriosclerosis is created.

When they say: "...serious as a heart attack," that is No 💩, man! I've had THREE, so I Know. They HURT! No 💩, it feels like someone parked a Humvee on your chest!! Best advice? Get Off your Ass, quit smoking, exercise, eat healthier and drink more water. Because these don't just happen to 80 & 90 year olds. *_>>I WAS 41 WHEN I HAD MY FIRST!!

We have had the cure of heart disease since Dean Ornish published it in the nineties. A whole food plant based lifestyle is the solution! Very dissapointed that you talked about stents and not something that actually treats the cause! Why is it always so hard for you people to include nutrition??

[@flimsyfox]

Great video! I would like to comment that while LDL has been linked to an increased risk in heart disease, there are a few studies that link LDL to a lowered risk in heart disease. I think it is important that LDL in relation to heart disease should be researched further, as other factors may be at play (such as regional differences, like if Europeans had a decreased risk of heart disease while Americans had a greater risk of heart disease with increased levels of LDL). Other than that, great video; it's based on evidence that is considered to be scientific consensus!

This is not exactly the whole story, the cholesterol does snot accumulate because you have to much of it... it accumulates as a direct result of the inflammation... the inflammation is a direct result of artery hardening and subsequent damage.... the arteries are hardened by too high insulin from high sugar diets and various other reasons not including amount of fat consumed.

Athero means heart vessel??? Since When???

[@jacbug-7349]

Cholesterol is often elevated because it is not being converted into the steroid horemones and increases during inflammation. It would be more useful to bring the metabolism and energy of your body up so to increase the steroid synthesis.

[@KyleHatch21]

Wait. The conclusion of this video released in TWENTY TWENTY was that we are using stints? A technology we've been aware of and using for decades? Great. Cool fluff piece.

[@yeetdeets]

Just boomers still subscribing to the utterly debunked and flawed fat hypothesis. Check out Ivor Cummins. The theory he presents fits perfectly with evolution, as opposed to the fat hypothesis. If you go into the wild today, you don't find starch. You find 99% fat, protein and fibre, with very small amounts of sugar. Africans have larger cardiovascular problems because they haven't been farming for as long as Europeans have, and as a population haven't been adapting to large volumes of starch for as long. Dietary science moves slow because most scientists don't question their foundations, don't look outside their field, and give way too much weight to epidemiological evidence.

[@casanova6566]

What causes the inflammation of arteries .?? maybe too much of insulin or calcium or lack of Vitamin C

[@sebwilkins]

Vitamin c isn't hard to get in the majority of diets, nor is calcium. The primary contributors are animal products, which are high in cholesterol and fats.

[@casanova6566]

@@sebwilkins If fatty animal products are the only cause then why heart attacks only happens in old people , why it very rare happens in younger generation who eats a lot of fat .? i still think accumulated calcium inside the arteries makes them stiff which leads to inflammation and clogged

If you are looking for something to invest in, you can't beat treatment technology for heart disease and high blood pressure. Thanks to today's lifestyles, it's a growth industry with no foreseeable decline. Even our leaders set the worst example possible for personal responsibility and healthy living. When you have unlimited health insurance coverage, I guess you can pay the very best surgeons to patch you up. What about the rest of you?

[@2631988]

Just one question. Why is the colesterol there and not in another reagon? I think its becaus tissue of the artery is inflamated / damaged. And colesterol ldl goes there to build new cells.(without colesterol no cells) when the part is fixed hdl comes and washrs the hdl away. Sad that tey say colesterol is bad If our body produces it ther will be a reaason.....

[@zukodude487987]

Cholesterol does go to other places, in the heart its a heart attack, in the brain its a stroke, in the back it causes back pain, in the groin area it causes erectile dysfunction etc.

@@zukodude487987 yes but did you hear once that someone hat to amputate his finger because of colesterol. What im trying to say is WHY is colesterol on artery walls? (Read answer on top)

[@zukodude487987]

@@2631988 Cholesterol gets stuck on artery walls even without inflammation, but even if we consider inflammation refined sugars are not the only thing that inflame your artery walls. It can also be from chemicals from smoking, high blood pressure causing more friction on the walls, many inflammatory foods which also include animal products. You also are not aknowledging the fact that you can only build up a lot of cholesterol in the walls if you have a lot of cholesterol in the blood you already give the inflammation more building material. This is why i recommend high anti inflammatory foods like nuts and berries and eating a low cholesterol diet.
