herbal drink

low-fat milk

To reduce high blood pressure do not have to use the drug. Herbal way is to drink herbal tea or cranberry juice regularly. High blood is one blood that affects many people because of irregular eating patterns and eating carelessly.

By eating vegetables and fruits high blood pressure can be controlled. In addition, type of drink that can reduce high blood pressure include:

1. Low-Fat Milk
Potassium and Calcium are two types of nutrients associated with high blood pressure.Potassium and calcium needs are met well is one of the requirements to get a normal blood pressure. Needs as well as potassium and calcium can be obtained from milk.Choose low-fat milk or fat-free, because the fat in dairy products contain palmitic acid which can inhibit blood vessels to relax and flexible.

2. Herbal tea
Herbal tea can help lower high blood pressure, one of which is hibiscus tea because it contains antioxidants and anthocyanins that work together to maintain blood pressure remains normal. Hibiscus tea is to keep blood vessels that are not narrowed so that blood flow remains smooth.

3. Cranberry Juice
Benefits of fruit juices such as cranberry red wine. Cranberry juice is able to pump proanthocyanidins antioxidant that can inhibit the synthesis of ET-1 compounds that can erode blood vessels.

check cholesterol

Cholesterol is a disease that is avoided every human being. Cholesterol has no symptoms and are known when it was experiencing complications. So someone should check his cholesterol levels continuously. Cholesterol test can only be known through laboratory blood tests.

Here are some pointers when someone should have your cholesterol checked, as quoted by Livestrong.

1. Age
National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that people who are aged 20 years to check their cholesterol levels and then repeated every 5 years. But for men who are aged over 45 years and women above 50 years should be checked for cholesterol levels every year. This is because the risk of heart disease or other blood vessels to increase in age.

2. Risk factors
For example, heart disease, the person’s cholesterol levels should be checked continuously. These risk factors include a family history of heart disease, obesity, unhealthy lifestyles and smoking. People who have certain health conditions such as previous high blood pressure or diabetes which may be cardiac risk factors should begin cholesterol levels checked regularly.

3. Having offspring hypercholesterolemia (familial hypercholesterolemia)
This genetic condition causes high cholesterol levels are hereditary in the family. This puts a person at high risk of heart attack early. High cholesterol does not cause symptoms but may show signs of familial hypercholesterolemia, such as cholesterol deposits in the form of white lines on the skin around the eyes. Other symptoms are detected through a cholesterol test or genetic test.

If you are currently doing treatments for high cholesterol or heart disease, the cholesterol test can monitor conditions and provide guidance in providing the necessary treatment.How often someone checks cholesterol varied according to health status owned.

Chocolate

Hearing the word chocolate is imagined definitely sweet, delicious, tender, dam addictive. Not only it was chocolate has other benefits. As explained a British study that consumption of chocolate on a regular basis and balanced to reduce heart attacks. Journal of Internal Medicine says chocolate is beneficial to health it is dark chocolate contains flavonoids can reduce blood clots and minimize the risk of colon cancer, 70 percent of chocolate lovers had lower risk of experiencing heart attack than those who rarely eat chocolate.

Antioxidants are the components that protect against free radicals, molecules that accumulate in the body and damage cells. England included countries are very concerned about heart disease. Approximately 270,000 people die each year because of a heart attack. One-third of whom died before reaching hospital. Sometimes it happened because they put off seeking help. Chocolate for health benefits has also been revealed in research Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. The evidence suggests heart attack triggered the largest human death.

Research conducted on 1169 patients aged between 45-70 years who entered the hospital because of heart attack between 1992-1994. Each patient was questioned about her diet habits, including how much chocolate they ate. The final results showed those who ate chocolate twice a week or more, 66 percent of them do not die of heart problems than those who do not eat chocolate. Meanwhile, those who enjoy chocolate once a week, can reduce the risk by half.

Brown effect on health, in recent years, attracting minat.Tapi we know, no studies on possible effects of chocolate after a heart attack, said one researcher is. But remember, chocolate is not chocolate with high milk content. Nor is chocolate with high fat. What about the chocolate that has been treated with a mixture of milk? Benefits of chocolate in chocolate milk can not be obtained with high calories. In fact, that’s the most popular type of chocolate in the UK, also in other parts of the world.

We need a reminder on interpretation of this study with caution because it is based on events that have long. Diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks that we do have advanced over time, says Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is heart disease caused by narrowing of coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that function to supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle, these vessels can be narrowed due to plaque growth that has a reduced diameter of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle becomes reduced.

WHAT CAN CAUSE narrowed coronary arteries?

The cause was not known with certainty, although it is known the term ‘risk factors’, consisting of diabetes, hypertension, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, age, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking and heredity. The more risk factors a person possesses, the greater the risk the person has coronary artery narrowing and suffering from CHD.

WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE?

Blood flow to the heart muscle is decreased due to narrowing of coronary arteries resulting in heart muscle of oxygen deficiency (ischemia) and provide clinical symptoms vary from mild to severe and even sudden death. Patients may experience clinical symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain or heat or a sense of choking which become heavy when activity and disappear with rest are known as stable angina pectoris. When in a state of pain increasingly become heavy, more frequently, resulting in mild physical activity or even occur at rest, then this phenomenon is known as Unstable angina pectoris. Patients also may experience heart attacks (acute myocardial infarction) in the form of severe chest pain that does not go away with rest and is often accompanied by cold sweat. It must be realized that approximately 30% of CHD did not give any symptoms at first until one day the patient suddenly died suddenly of a heart attack.

TREATMENT WITH CHD stent

One of the most beneficial treatment of CHD is the PCI (Percutaneus Coronary Intervention), we often call it “mounting ring ‘. Actually the term is less precise mounting ring because the shape of a ring (also called Stents) here is more like the sewer who berjaring-nets. Stents made of rust resistant metal, before it was developed in the form of buds attached to the balloon (in it there is a balloon). The function of the stent is actually as a buffer so that blood vessels do not constrict again (restenosis).

In the act of PCI, a stent was inserted into the coronary artery with the aid of a catheter device which is input by making a small incision (1-2 mm) in the blood vessels in the hand or groin under local anesthesia (not general anesthesia). Once you arrive at the site of narrowing, the balloon was developed so that the stent expands go, stick to the blood vessels and blood vessels also become wider. The balloon then deflated and withdrawn so that there remains only the stent. To insert a stent in the right position, the action of this PCI is used X-ray and fluoroscopy guidance.

Broadly speaking stent consists of two types, namely drug coated stent (Drug eluting Stents / DES) and drug-coated stents without (Bare Metal Stents / BMS). DES drug-coated on the point is to reduce the growth of cells at the site of constriction of blood vessels narrowing again so that risk can be reduced to 5% compared to without using drug-coated.

Compared to bypass surgery (CABG), PCI action is also more preferred because it does not require special preparation (only 3-4 hours of fasting), no anesthesia is required, no open / chest wall incisions, pain is very minimal and usually only require one day of treatment .
