New Non-Invasive Procedure Can Detect Heart Disease In Apparently Healthy Patients    

Early Detection Can Help Patients Lower The Risk Of Heart Attack    

Recent research has found a noninvasive way to detect cardiovascular disease in apparently healthy patients, identifying inflammation in blood vessels which could result in a heart attack. It consists of detecting inflammation in arteries surrounding the fat tissue. Most tests detect heart disease only after arteries are narrowing. However, with early detection, patients can take steps to lower the risk of heart attacks, such as exercise, weight control, and diet. More details click here.

 

Differentiating A Heart Attack From A Cardiac Arrest

A Blood Blockage Causes A Heart Attack, While A Cardiac Arrest Is A Malfunction Of The Electrical System That Controls Heartbeats    

There are a variety of cardiovascular conditions, and the most serious is a heart attack and cardiac arrest. Heart attacks are usually related to fatal outcomes, or to an incapacitating condition. The truth is that heart attacks can be fatal, but not all of them are. A heart attack comes when there is a loss of blood irrigation in an area of the heart, caused by a blood clot. Depending on the location of the blood clot, the heart damage will affect the ability to pump blood. If the blood clot is located on the main artery that supplies blood to the heart, there is a very high risk of a fatality. While a heart attack is related to blood flow, a cardiac arrest is caused when there is a malfunction on the electrical system that regulates the heartbeats. This can cause the heart to beat chaotically or rapidly, or even stop, preventing the blood flow to the other organs. Cardiac arrests can be caused by heart attacks, imbalance of minerals in the blood, or a drug overdose, among others. Check what to do in case of both conditions.

Aged Cheese Related With An Extended Lifespan

Aged Cheese Related With An Extended Lifespan    

A study has shown that aged cheeses can extend the lifespan. This is because a component called spermicide. It induces a process called autophagy, in which the heart cells identify which parts of them are not working properly and shuts them down. Additional details click here.

 

Caffeine Can Help Reduce Inflammation In Old Age And Also Increase Longevity

Caffeine Can Help Reduce Inflammation In Old Age And Also Increase Longevity    

A cup of coffee will boost your morning. Now according to a study, it can also help fight inflammation and cardiovascular diseases related to older age, and even increase the longevity. The study related high levels of caffeine with lower activation of a molecule that triggers chronic inflammation, which is responsible for 90 percent of all non-communicable disease in old age. On the other hand, caffeine also triggered hypertension in patients. Additional information click here.

 

Sleep Apnea Can Lead To Hypertension

Sleep Apnea Can Lead To Hypertension    

Sleep apnea occurs when breathing is interrupted for a short period. This results in a reduction of oxygen in the blood, which leads to excess fatigue in the morning, and, if untreated, can result in high blood pressure, diabetes and even stroke. Click here for more details.

 

Reduce Hypertension By Taking Probiotics

Reduce Hypertension By Taking Probiotics    

Intestinal bacteria, known as probiotics, is helpful for good digestion. However, a recent research has shown that these microorganisms can also lower blood pressure. On the other hand, antibiotics attack these bacteria. The study showed that rats treated with antibiotics to lower the bacteria population also increased its blood pressure. Therefore, adding probiotics to the daily diet should be added to the list of healthy habits to treat hypertension, such as ingesting less salt and doing exercise. Additional info click here.

 

Bad Breath And Insomnia Can Lead To Coronary Heart Disease

Bad Breath And Insomnia Can Lead To Coronary Heart Disease    

Bacteria In Gum Disease And Inflammation Die To Poor Sleeping Can Increase The Risk Of Heart Attack    

Heart disease is usually related to poor lifestyle and a bad diet. However, there are other signs, such as bad breath and gum disease, along with insomnia due to work shifting. Gum disease allows the bacteria to enter the bloodstream, leading to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Also, shift work and insomnia prevents the body from healing and repairing, increasing the blood pressure and inflammation, leading to heart disease. Click here for more details.
