Dietary
advice to help people lower their cholesterol levels is
often not as effective as we might like to think. These
findings, published in this week's issue of the British
Medical Journal, are based on research conducted by Dr Jane
Armstrong and colleagues at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford.
Let us to begin
The
concepts of old age, retirement period and heart attack
stage has become cliche. The heart is heading for a breakdown
even before expressing its agony. Even to the modern medicine
for preventing the spiraling growth of coronary vascular
diseases, there is no answer is a mirage. Diseases of Heart
and arteries are collectively called cardiovascular disease
(CVD). CVD is a morbid disease, its known causes are also
very silent as the under current of great oceans.
The
increased LDL cholesterol level in the blood & increased
blood Pressures are the forerunning signs, but they are
mainly symptomless. The devoidness of symptoms of the cause
also increases the risk of the morbid disease.
Mr.
Sivaprasad aged 45 is MD of a private company. For the last
five years he was suffering from occasional chest pain.
He consulted a famous cardiologist. He took STRESS ECG and
other necessary tests. The doctor warned him that his coronary
arteries, which supplies blood to the heart began to block
and was the cause of the pain. His blood tests revealed
the increased LDL cholesterol and the doctor instructed
him to control it. As the cholesterol level did not decrease
through diet control, he was persuaded to take so many tablets.
But now the doctor does not allow him to take the cholesterol
lowering chemical drugs, as it used too much cause cancer
and even arteriosclerosis. Then Mr. Sivaprasad came to East
cure H.R. C. for treatment and now his condition has improved
much. |
