Coronary Heart Disease or (CHD) is the prerequisite to a
fatal massive heart attack. I unfortunately have had to
deal with the aftermath of such an unbelievable killer.
Chances are that you either have suffered from (CHD) or you
know someone who has experienced this disease. Millions of
people shouldn't have to suffer from (CHD), if they receive
the proper knowledge about it. In this article, I reveal
the definition of (CHD), the risk factors, the indirect
risk factors and oral chelation.
What Is (CHD)?
Atherosclerotic Heart Disease, Coronary Heart Disease and
also Coronary Heart Disease is the end result of the
accumulation of a atheromatous plaques within the walls of
the arteries that supply the muscles of the heart with
oxygen and nutrients. Did you know that the most common
cause for death of men and woman over 20 years of age is
(CHD)? Coronary Heart Disease also progresses for decades
in people without any sign or symptom, which helps to
enable it to be the most common cause of sudden death.
Artherosclerotic heart disease consists of streaks that do
not block the flow of blood. Through an angiogram test
there may be no evidence of (CHD) because the lumen of the
artery hasn't changed in shape.
Through the years the streaks of plaque may increase in
thickness. Moreover, these streaks can expand into the
walls of the arteries and through time will grow in the
lumen of the vessel. The plaque actually rupturing and
causing an accumulation of thrombus material causes plaque
burden. Did you know that an individual could develop
symptoms of obstructive coronary heart disease after the
plaque blocks more than 70% of the diameter of the vessel?
In contrast, arterial plaques that cause a blockage of less
than 70% of the diameter of the vessel rarely cause
symptoms of (CHD).
What Are The Risk Factors?
Hypertension
Smoking
Hyperglycemia (due to diabetes mellitus or otherwise)
Type A behavioral patterns
Hypercholesterolemia (LDL concentrations)
Hereditary differences in such diverse aspects as
lipoprotein structure and that of their associated
receptors, homocysteine processing/metabolism.
What Are The Indirect Risk Factors?
Diet low in antioxidants
Stress
Lack of exercise
Diet rich in saturated fats
What Is Oral Chelation?
Chelation is based on the observation that when a certain
amino acid complex called EDTA comes into contact with
certain positively charged metals and other substances such
as lead, calcium, zinc, copper, magnesium, plutonium, iron,
and manganese it grabs them. The EDTA actually grabs
metallic cations such as calcium or lead (calcium and
cholesterol form plaque within the blood vessels) and forms
a compound that is then excreted from our system. As a
result, oral chelation can break up plaque, which in turn
can help to lower triglyceride levels and probably reduce
(CHD) related problems.
As more information on coronary heart disease is
discovered, I will update this article accordingly.
