Family
history,
Smoking: PLAQUE BUILD UP
High b.p: increased speed of blood with subs
can easily block arteries
High bad
cholesterol: LDL especially type B is more implicated in blockage
Obesity: obese people have too much fat,
cannot exercise and higher risk
Diabetes: high sugar in the blood combines
with fat to form blockades for vessels
Sedentary lifestyle: no exercise, no
flexibility for blood vessels and detoxification for lymph (blood) system.
High alcohol
intake: alcohol produces metabolites (acetaldehyde) which are toxic to the
brain and blood and increases the chance of vessel blockage
Previous
heart attack: when a system is weakened it gets more vulnerable
Age and gender: tendency increases with age
and men have 3x for tendency because women have their oestrogen protection
Cocaine and
amphetamine: narrows blood vessels and so increases chance of blockade
Nutritional imbalance: when there is decrease
in potassium and magnesium in the diet leading to irregular and fast heart beat
Four warning
signs of a heart attack
1. Pain
that comes in the chest that comes
and goes and later returns with greater intensity
2. Feeling of easy windiness
3. High uncontrolled blood pressure
4. High LDL( especially type B LDL)
