Inflammation May Cause Sudden Heart Attack
People used to think heart disease resulted from deposits of fatty plaques in the arteries, like the build up of rust in water pipe. But we now know that heart attacks rarely happen simply due to this buildup.
Far from being mere “pipes”, arteries are active participants in the progress of heart disease, both attracting and harboring cells that release inflammatory substances.
The result is a fatty plaque that forms within the artery walls and is a target for yet more inflammatory damage.
Supplements serve as important extras to ensure a sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals for a healthier way of life.
Inflammation plays key role in weakening arterial plaque causing the deposits to rupture -which can lead to sudden coronary death, heart attack or stroke.
Anything you can do to lower your level of inflammation, then can go a long way toward reducing your risk for heart disease.
Your doctor may recommend a daily dose of 81 mg aspirin ( MPI Cardiospirine SR) and / or Novartis Lescol.
(Cardiospirin SR) is an antithrombolytic agent while (Lescol) (fluvastin sodium) is indicated to reduce elevated total cholesterol, LDL-C, triglyceride and Apo B levels and to increase HDL-C in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
Lescol is also used as an adjunct to diet in adolescents who are 10-16 years of age.
