Eliminating Major Artery and Vein Heart Blockage is the Key to Avoiding a Heart Attack

Most people take the possibility of artery and vein heart blockage lightly until it results in a heart attack. This is completely understandable since most of the time artery and vein heart blockage shows no symptoms until it is over 70 percent, at which point a person will start to experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, heaviness in the chest or occasional chest pain, sweating, fluid accumulation around the ankles, dizziness, an irregular heart beat once in awhile, or unexplained fatigue doing some of the simplest things like mowing the lawn, or carrying in the groceries. When symptoms starts to occur generally they are not taken seriously enough, after all they are new to the person experiencing them and most believe over time these symptoms will go away. Others think they may just be working too many hours and may just need a few days off to relax and all will be back to fine.

I thought that there would be no better way to drive home the point about how dangerous artery and vein heart blockage can be than to go back to biology class for a minute or two and finding out what the American Medical Association has to say about how the heart works.

“The pulmonary veins deliver oxygen rich blood from the lungs and deposit it into the left atrium of the heart. Then the atrium channels the oxygen rich blood into the left ventricle, where it is pumped through the main artery of the body, the aorta. The aorta divides into smaller arteries that carry blood to every organ and tissue in the body. At the same time, the body’s tissues deposit waste material into the blood. The oxygen depleted blood is pumped back into the right atrium, where it is channeled to the right ventricle. The ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery and then to the lungs, where waste material leaves the blood as carbon dioxide and oxygen enters.”

Pretty interested, right? What becomes fairly obvious is that any type vein or artery heart blockage will disrupt the natural cycle of things putting both pressure on the heart to work harder and depriving the organs and tissues of blood and oxygen. So in essence when a nasty cholesterol laden plaque deposit forms in a vein or artery it not only hurts our hearts but causes our body to run much less efficiently. This downward cycle will only continue to get worse as cholesterol laden plaque deposits build until at some point he unthinkable occurs; a heart attack. Our first step to keep artery and vein blockage for occurring or if it has already started to build is to take steps to lower high blood cholesterol levels.

Lowering cholesterol, in most cases, is about changing old habits, adopting new healthier habits, and enlisting the help of convention medications such as statins or natural cholesterol reducing remedies if needed. Put simply, this basically means finding ways to increase HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL (bad cholesterol levels), and bring overall cholesterol down to acceptable heart healthy levels. Certainly the aforementioned statin drugs will be one of your options but they do carry a number of serious label warnings. The side effect risks have made natural cholesterol reduction supplements combined with diet modification a safe and effective combination worth considering.
