PROBLEM WITH BLOOD CHOLESTEROL HIGH

         BLOOD CHOLESTEROL HIGH   


      Your blood cholesterol level is affected not only by what you eat but also by how quickly your body makes LDL-cholesterol and disposes of it. In fact, your body makes all the cholesterol it needs, and it is not necessary to take in any additional cholesterol from the foods you eat.

      People with heart disease or those who are at high risk for developing it typically have too much LDL-cholesterol in their blood. Many factors help determine whether your LDL-cholesterol level is high or low. The following factors are the most important.

      Your blood cholesterol level is affected not only by what you eat but also by how quickly your body makes LDL-cholesterol and disposes of it. In fact, your body makes all the

CAUSES OF LOW BLOOD PRESSURE

         KNOW ABOUT CAUSES OF BLOOD PRESSURE


When someone talks of blood pressure problems, in most cases they refer to issues of high blood pressure. But low blood pressure is also a fairly common condition and it needs attention.

What are the causes of low blood pressure? It turns out there are quite a few of them.

Unearthing the causes of hypotension is important because they have to be dealt with before treating the clinical conditions of low blood pressure.

Anti-hypertensive drugs are one possible cause. If someone with high blood pressure continues to take such drugs without adequate supervision, it can result in a buildup of the drug in the body which can cause blood pressure to drop below acceptable levels.

That is why patients on beta-blockers

WHEN YOU HAVE HEART DİSEASE

      The Cardiologist Says To You 'HEART DISEASE'

  *PATIENT*

--So angiogram was in my immediate future. I’m told 

this is a safe and relatively painless   

procedure and not to worry. There were plenty of things to 

worry about however. They 

don’t want to shove a camera up through my body and into my 

heart because of no reason. 

     Still, an angiogram is an outpatient procedure where the 

cardiologist opens an artery in 

THE CHOLESTEROL IS DANGEROUS

                       CHOLESTEROL          
      Cholesterol, like fat, cannot move around the bloodstream on its own because it does not 

mix with water. The bloodstream carries cholesterol in particles called lipoproteins that are like 

blood-borne cargo trucks delivering cholesterol 

to various body tissues to be used, 

stored or excreted. But too much of this circulating 

cholesterol can injure arteries, especially the coronary 

ones that supply the heart. This leads

to accumulation of cholesterol-laden 

“plaque” in vessel linings, a condition called 

atherosclerosis.


     When blood flow to the heart is impeded, the heart 

muscle becomes starved for oxygen, 

causing chest pain (angina). If a blood clot completely 

obstructs a coronary artery affected by 

atherosclerosis, a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or death can occur.


     Are you at risk? Cardiovascular disease is still one of the greatest health problem 

WOMEN HOW TO KNOW TREATİNG HEART DİSEASE

Although 73 percent of women know how to prevent

 heart disease, many are unaware of how to treat it

 once a diagnosis has been made.

In a survey of 1,979 women over age 35, only 55 

percent said they understand how to treat heart

 disease. Respondents often incorrectly named 

prevention techniques such as exercise and healthy 

eating as treatment options, and less than 10 

percent named actual treatments such as

 angioplasty and stent placement.
