Marg Mason was just 45 years old when she suffered a heart attack, surprising their
Doctor, family and friends who all agree, the slim, diet-conscious woman not to
Profile of someone at risk for heart disease or stroke.
"" You just do not think it could happen to someone my age, my profile. But it is a much
of them know, I think, "said Marg
It turns out Marg is a borderline diabetic and had some blood pressure issues, too. Now
Three new studies suggest there is evidence doctors are missing, a
Patients, such as Marg, is heading for trouble.
According to the researchers, this information can be found in mammograms, blood-sugar tests and
common daytime dozing.
"" It seems that these three different results had nothing to do with each other,
But in reality, all these things describe the connection with heart or
Stroke, "said Dr. Mason H. Weiss, CEO of Apex Cardiology.
In the first study, the researchers on the mammograms of 200 stroke patients and found
Calcium deposits in the breast tissue in 56 percent of them. The bottom line? Women with artery
Building in their mammograms had a greater risk for heart disease and stroke.
"The radiologists usually do not report it because the so-called" non-determination "for
Breast cancer, but it can be a significant result for women at the beginning of heart disease, ""
Says Dr. Weiss.
A second study found a link to stroke in blood tests. Seventeen-hundred patients in
Mid-60s were used for blood sugar and insulin levels after fasting. The
higher values had twice the risk of stroke in the next seven years compared to those with
lower values.
A third study documented the daytime dozing sample of 2,000 people in their mid-70s.
The researchers found the rate of at a stroke almost five times more severe
Dozers, compared with those who rarely nodded out. The doctors say that the likely suffered heavy dozers
of sleep apnea or other sleep disorders triggered that dangerous fluctuations in their
Blood pressure.
"" I think what they are trying to do here is at the risk, stroke, and it is a fact
There are a few simple things that are out there, that they are limited, that we should
paying more attention to these things, "said Dr. Weiss.
The blood sugar test in the study referred to homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), measures
a ratio of blood sugar and insulin levels. High values can be due to a borderline patient
Diabetics. Diabetes is one of the risk factors for heart disease and strokes.
As for the mammogram results, the doctors say it will not hurt to see if calcifications are
in your ideas and to talking with your doctor about what they can
"in your case.
