Avatar n tn AAC/AHA provide guidelines for treatment of occluded vessels. The guidelines are not to treat any lesion less than 70% (exception would be if there are symptoms such as chest pain), if there is treatment for symptoms, then medication. If medication does not effectively treat the lesion, then a stent implant. Sometimes stents are not a solution because the lesion is too long, difficult to assess, etc. then a bypass.

Avatar n tn t have medical problems, you can use the cardiovascular recommendations on line for cardiovascular work out which is related to age and pulse (heart rate) or look for guidelines on building strength versus muscle mass. all have different guidelines, and you don't indicate your specific goal.
Avatar m tn Aerobic exercise has the most benefits for your heart. Over time, aerobic exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure and improve your breathing. I have been doing 30 minutes a day on the treadmill and resistance training with heavy weights for about 10 years. Seems to help... Thanks for the question and if you have and followup questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Take care.
Avatar m tn Should I be on medication at this time? My father dies of heart disease at age 53. my mom has heart disease and diabetes age 72. My 12 hour blood fast for diabetes was 201.
1085002 tn?1256414949 t aggressive enough and went through quite a few heart procedures. Mammo is correct, you should in my opinion exercise daily, take a statin drug that your doctor recommends, but don't take this lightly. Are you diabetic, and do you have high blood pressure? I'd also address these issues aggressively. Stay in touch.
Avatar m tn Your doctor knows the major limitation of the stress test approach is that it requires high-grade stenosis to indicate heart attack risk. And high-grade stenosis, while a good indicator of advanced arterial disease, is NOT the major cause of myocardial infarctions (heart attack).
Avatar n tn This is because your heart is not getting enough blood under stress. Also, if your heart disease is more of a form of cardiomyopathy such as LVH or dilation of the heart, you may feel more rhythm issues. Everyone is different so everyone feels things differently. Unfortunately a heart attack is the first symptom 50% of those with heart disease experience so it is important to have this talk with your doctor.
Avatar m tn Lack of exercise is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Is it because no exercise can increase cholesterol or is there some other reason.???
Avatar f tn An estimated 41 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes unless they lose weight and increase physical activity. Diabetes is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, amputations and other complications.
Avatar f tn Anyone with heart disease needs to know that there is no cure, and it takes total commitment in treatment. It will take some time to get the right combination of meds, building up the strength to exercise daily and of course, quitting some things we do that are not right for our well being.
Avatar m tn The relevant point from your blood pressure fluctuation is not its relationship with the heart rate but the values that you usually are measuring. Under actual guidelines you fulfill the criteria of stage 1 hypertension/or high blood pressure (if the values that you are getting with your BP machine are accurate). So I recommend you to go and see a doctor to define if you have hypertension. In the meantime try to decrease the salt as much as you can and continue the cardio/aerobic exercise.
Avatar n tn ) I think your answer is the right one. What I meant is also..still normal, but almost not normal.:).....if we put abnormal over normal ...but if we put in under....OK....I'll stop .. ...it reminds me if the "glass is half full or half empty?
Avatar m tn If you are out of shape, and overweight then I am guessing you don't exercise much (logical conclusion). With lack of exercise, you are not going to notice the limitations much, but now that you are being affected with low exertion then I would concur with the Cardiologist that there must be a significant blockage. If thee is anyway that you can get the Angiogram then I would have it done because it can become 100% quite quickly.
Avatar n tn please learn about heart disease and organic natural nutritional supplement than will improve your heart condition.
Avatar m tn AASLD is an organization of liver disease specialists who publish annual treatment guidelines. Google AASLD 2009 hepatitis C treatment guidelines to find a copy. The mouth sores are a sign that the main drug, interferon, is reducing his white blood cell level. There are medications to counteract that but they are very very expensive and that may have had a role in their decision.
Avatar n tn It is also a major cause of disability. There are many different forms of heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks.
Avatar f tn There are many people on Thyroid Chat that say that the ACCE guidelines that state subclinical would be TSH over 10 with normal t/3 t/4 or TSH 5-10 with normal t/3 t/4 and goiter or antibody are outdated and todays guidelines say that TSH should be at 1 or at least below 3 EVEN with normal t/3 t/4.
