Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 There are several indicators of heart trouble without having to take a stress test. One can have the blood tested for homocystin levels and crp c-reactive protein, which are excellent predictors of heart trouble and whether or not a person may or may not have a heart attack. A lipid profile is also a valuable test of cardiovascular functioning. Also these test can also provide valuable information for a person to use in order to take corrective remedies to avoid having a heart attack. These remedies may take the form of a diet, exercise, taking specific supplements or antibiotics are a combination of them. If a person is suffering with angina, then a stress test of some kind is probably indicated, if not just going ahead and having a cardiac catharization examination. Of course I don't think one would have a catharization without first having severe symptoms of angina, shortness of breath and feelings of weakness, since this involves a surgical procedure. The former tests requires having the physician order some specific lab tests made on blood drawn from your arm in his office. heart stress test > > > > > > Hi. > > > > As a type 1 or type 2 diabetic, it is important to know that or what this > > disease can effect.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Research is coming to show that it is not the fat you consume that causes the problems with fat in the arteries, but it is actually more closely related to the number of carbohydrates you consume. The higher your carbohydrate consumption, the greater you are likely to have atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and a lot of other vascular diseases including heart trouble. The Eskimoes, who traditionally consume very low amounts of carbohydrates, but have diets consisting primarily of protein and fat, have very few heart attacks as compared to people living in the lower states. heart stress test > > > > > > > > > > Hi. > > > > > > > > As a type 1 or type 2 diabetic, it is important to know that or what > > this > > > > disease can effect.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 yes, and my hunch is because of the jolt quick acting carbs slam on your system. Each large dose of carbs you eat cranks your system so hard that after time, it just gives... heart attack. Ever heard that saying eat a energy bar for energy? Well, that is why... carbs booste your energy then drop you. crank, drop, crank, drop, crank, heart attack. regards, heart stress test > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi. > > > > > > > > > > As a type 1 or type 2 diabetic, it is important to know that or what > > > this > > > > > disease can effect.
