If you’re like most Americans, you’ve probably heard the acronym CVD for coronary heart disease. You know that plaque is a buildup of fat and proteins on the walls of arterial walls. Most cases of CVD can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and healthy dietary habits.
Well, apparently Dr. James C. Andrews has some hard facts to back up his research that have led him to his conclusion that the typical American diet is pretty much killing the American heart. He stated on his blog that people who are obese and do not exercise have a two to four times higher chance of dying of heart disease than normal, so the next logical step is to label the arteries a bit more carefully.
A major focus of this study was on the fatty acids in the heart. The researchers were looking for fatty acids that are considered to be unhealthy. They found an interesting correlation between those fatty acids and blood clotting in the arteries. Basically, if fatty acids are found in your arteries, you’re probably also high in blood clotting, which leads to heart attacks.
Blood clotting is a big problem with cardiovascular disease. High levels of bad fats lead to high levels of bad fats in your arteries, which leads to heart attacks. And the good fats in your arteries are also associated with a lower risk of heart disease. So the next step is to look for the fatty acids in your arteries that could be causing this.
Because these fatty acids aren’t found in your arteries, they are also associated with a lower risk of heart disease and a high risk of a stroke. So the next step is to look at your arteries that are low risk of heart disease.
The best way to look at arteries is to look around the whole of your arteries, and be aware of the potential problems surrounding your arteries. So you should look at your arteries to see if there is anything you can do to lower the risk.
We have an easy way to do this. It is called the “Atherosclerosis Risk Score” (ARS) and it is a great tool to use when you want to understand the risk of heart disease. It’s a simple, easy to understand, score that describes the risk of developing heart disease in an individual. The higher the score, the higher the risk.
The ARS has been shown to be a pretty good predictor of stroke risk, so you can probably use it to figure out how your risk is likely to affect your risk of stroke.
What makes ARS a good tool to use is that it is based on numerous lifestyle factors, including diet, physical activity, blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking history, and family history. These factors can be combined with other risk factors to form a risk score. This is the reason that the ARS has been shown to be a good predictor of stroke risk, and why it is also a good indicator of heart disease risk.
We have also found that a diet high in red meat, processed foods, and alcohol is associated with low-grade inflammation that leads to increased stroke risk. When we combine our risk scores with lifestyle factors we can determine how a person’s risk might affect his or her risk of stroke as well as heart disease.
