Agelbert NOTE: I found the info in this article very valuable. It is rock solid and backed up with the latest studies. Boosting mitochondrial function is exactly what the ketogenic diet does. Please read the whole thing and watch the video. It will do you good.

What You Really Need to Know About Heart Disease and Its Treatment 
December 24, 2017

Story at-a-glance

֍ Recent research shows stents do not improve angina, thereby negating the sole remaining medical indication for angioplasty or the placement of a stent to unblock a blocked artery

֍ Earlier research showed angioplasty does not reduce mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction or hospitalization rates for acute coronary syndrome

֍ Coronary artery disease is not a disease per se. It’s a symptom of “a diffuse systemic disease,” caused primarily by poor diet, inactivity, insulin resistance and stress

֍ The largest study done on heart attack incidence revealed only 41 percent of people who have a heart attack actually have a blocked artery. Of those, 50 percent of the blockages occurred after the heart attack. This means at least 80 percent of heart attacks are not associated with blocked arteries at all

֍ Three primary causes of heart attacks are decreased parasympathetic tone followed by sympathetic nervous system activation, lack of microcirculation and lactic acid buildup in the heart muscle


SNIPPPET 1:

High Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks

As noted by Cowan, many cardiologists would probably answer that question saying the underlying problem is high cholesterol. Alas, the evidence does not support this position either. “I actually looked up four papers, [one] in JAMA, three in The Lancet, showing that life expectancy tends to increase as cholesterol goes up, and that there is no relationship between high cholesterol and death,” Cowan says.


SNIPPET 2:

The Role of Mitochondria in Heart Attacks

Another area of concern is your mitochondria. Unfortunately, this is an area that conventional cardiology is still largely unfamiliar with. In essence, angina is a symptom of poor mitochondrial function, causing a buildup of lactic acid that triggers cramps and pain. When this pain and cramping occurs in your heart, it’s called angina. The lactic acid buildup also restricts blood flow and makes the tissue more toxic.

When a cramp occurs in your leg, you stop moving it, which allows some of the lactic acid to drain off. But your heart cannot stop, so the glycolytic fermentation continues, and the lactic acid continues to build up, eventually interfering with the ability of calcium to get into the muscle. This in turn renders the muscle — in this case your heart — unable to contract, which is exactly what you see on a stress echo or a nuclear thallium scan.

“You see a dyskinetic or an akinetic muscle, which means it doesn't move, because the calcium can't get into the cells because the tissue has become too acidic,” Cowan explains. “Eventually, the acidosis continues, and that becomes the cause of necrosis of the tissue, which is what we call a heart attack …

By the way … [the] dyskinetic area … the part of the heart that's not moving, creates pressure … in the artery embedded in that part of the heart, which causes clots to break off. That explains why you get clots forming after the heart attack, not before. This lactic acidosis buildup is one of the key events, without which you won't have angina, and you won't have the progression to necrosis.

Those are the three [primary causes of heart attacks]: The autonomic nervous system, the microcirculation and lactic acid buildup. Luckily, there are safe, nontoxic, effective ways to address each of those, either individually or together.”

Agelbert NOTE: Mentioned in the video is a type of therapy that is VERY inexpensive compared with the outrageously expensive stent placement surgery, which does not actually work. It is important for people who cannot exercise well because of age other chronic conditions. Exercise improves blood flow and preserves vital mitochondrial function. This therapy is called 
EECP®Therapy.

EECP®Therapy - A simple, non-invasive solution to the complex problem of angina.

Offered exclusively by VasoMedical, Inc., EECP® Therapy is a safe, non-invasive, outpatient treatment option for chronic stable angina that is refractory to optimal anti-anginal medical therapy without options for revascularization. In addition, based upon clinical studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals, physicians also refer patients to EECP® therapy for the relief of symptoms from other ischemic cardiovascular diseases, such as left ventricular dysfunction, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease. EECP® Therapy has helped hundreds of thousands of patients around the world. Clinical studies show over 75% of patients benefit from EECP® Therapy with sustained improvement up to three years post-treatment.[/color]

Unlike expensive bypass or stent therapy, it's very cheap. AND, unlike the statin plus beta-blockers therapy, that can ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE, this actually helps you heal.   

WHY?

How can that be? 

It's all explained in the videos above. 

Here's more eye opening, irrefutable evidence, that critical stenosis is a symptom, NOT the problem.

 

SNIPPET:

The Riddle’s Solution

A blood vessel that is blocked to a large extent will obstruct the flood flow. A slowly closing narrowing will allow less and less blood to pass. This is known as “critical stenosis”, but in fact, this is not as critical as conventional medicine claims.  Heart seizure and heart attacks are by no means an inevitable result. Why is this? The solution to the riddle is that the three coronary arteries are not isolated from one-another; they are not “end arteries” that are not connected with one another, but part of an extensive network of blood vessels that exist in all parts of the heart muscle. Furthermore, the body is capable of helping itself should there be a blockage of the blood flow or in the oxygen supply and it is able to extend this network in a substantial way.
