Coronary artery bypass surgery - 0 views

  •  
    Coronary artery bypass surgery,commonly called CABG is a surgical procedure which consists of diverting the internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending (LAD) branch of the left main coronary artery; or a harvested great saphenous vein of the leg, attaching the proximal end to the aorta or one of its major branches, and the distal end to immediately beyond a partially obstructed coronary artery. The purpose is to restore normal blood flow to that partially obstructed coronary artery.

Vitamin K2, but not K1, effective for heart health benefits: Study - 0 views

  •  
    Increased intakes of vitamin K2, but not vitamin K1, may decrease the risk of coronary heart disease in postmenopausal women, says a new study.\nFor every 10 microgram increase in the amount of vitamin K2 consumed, researchers from the Netherlands report a 9 per cent reduction in the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD).

The Heart Scan Blog: Cheese and vitamin K2 - 0 views

  •  
    If you've been following the Track Your Plaque conversation, you know that, contrary to prevailing opinion among many cardiologists, there is an emerging notion that coronary calcification is an active process, a true part of the disease. Vitamin D3 is an important aspect of this question. So is vitamin K2. Not to be confused with K1 that plays a role in blood coagulation, K2 has an important role in calcium metabolism. Thus, vitmain K2 deficiency is related to osteoporosis and to coronary calcification.

    What causes coronary heart disease or coronary atherosclerotic plaque, this thing that we track with heart scans? \n\nWell, here are a few little-publicized facts about heart disease that you are unlikely to hear from your When's-the-next-stent? cardiologist or the What is there besides statins? primary care doctor. \n\n(Since everybody knows that smoking is a modifiable risk for heart disease that can be readily identified, let's focus on the blood tests that reveal heart disease causes.)

Vitamin K2 and coronary plaque - Wellsphere - 0 views

  •  
    The vitamin K2 story, though still preliminary, is becoming increasingly interesting from the perspective of CT heart score reduction. The origin of this concept came from some unexpected observations. One, the observation that osteoporosis (lack of bone calcium that leads to fractures) arises from deficiency of vitamin K2. Two, deficiency of K2 leads to unrestrained calcium deposition in animal models, leading to heart attack in just weeks.

Does Cholesterol Cause Coronary Vascular Disease? | The Diabetes Club - 0 views

  •  
    Cholesterol is found in every cell of our body. Without it, the body could not make hormones, vitamin D, or the membranes of the cells. In fact, cholesterol is so vital that if you ate none, your body will manufacture it. However, if you don't eat the nutrients your body needs to handle it, then cholesterol can become harmful.

How Heart Coronary Disease Takes Place - Part 1 | The Diabetes Club - 0 views

  •  
    The traditional risk factors -family history, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol- explain less than half the cases of heart disease. In fact, people with heart disease who take drugs to lower cholesterol or who lower the fat content of their diets continue to suffer significant heart disease, and many die of heart attacks.

The Heart Scan Blog: Food sources of vitamin K2 - 0 views

  •  
    Vitamin K2 is emerging as an exciting player in the control and possible regression of coronary atherosclerotic plaque. Only about 10% of dietary vitamin K intake is in the K2 form, the other 90% being the more common K1.

Yoga for heart disease - 0 views

  •  
    Yoga for heart disease is one of the most effective treatments in terms of lifestyle and physical fitness. It has an undeniably effective role in minimizing the risk of cardiovascular disease and lowers the risk of heart attacks, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. It has a direct influence on the hypothalamus, which controls endocrine activity, helping prevent attacks.
