CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE COMMUNITY
A question To ALL

A question To ALL

Hi all, my entire family on my moms side has died, had a heart attack/stroke and or bipass and stents obvieously from heart disease.
My grandfather had a major attac back in the 90s, and had 4bibass, then later in years had the pace maker put in. He dies in 2001 after a few months of severe CHF.
Thats just one family member on my moms side, lets just say her mother just died almost the same way, her sister whi is a couple yrs older has already had a few semi heart attack and strokes.
My mother had 3 bipass on feb2 2008,  after having a cardiac cathedor done, they found 3 out of the 4 atterys where clogged.
The surgery went fine and she was doing alright for a little while.
Not even two months later she startded getting the same tight chest feeling, limp arm ect. ect
They did another cardio cath and found that 2 out of the three were already clogged again!
So she had to have stents put in.
From any of you alls experiance with type of surgery and such, does it sound Kosher? I mean does it seem/sound right that not even after 2 months of surgery that 2 out of the 3 arterries would be clogged so soon.
Thank you and god bless
Em

What happens is the bypasses do not take, they do not heal in and dissolve leaving the original arteries there that are plugged.  It happens a lot.  Being that she now has the stents, they should be able to hold those arteries open.  She needs to really be on a very strict diet.  Eliminate or limited her red meat intake, no processed foods such as hotdogs or lunch meat (deli meat), no fast food, no added salt.  Eat organic fresh vegetables, brown rich, and salmon for the omega 3.  Organic yellow potato tastes great with no margarine added.  They usually can be found in your local grocery store. You need to find out how much inflammation you have in your body.  A lot of the time what happens is people have a high amount of inflammation in their body and in their arteries.  This creates a sticky spot where cholesterol sticks, no matter what the LDL or triglyercides number are.  They can be low and yet the person develops plugged arteries.  If you find that you have a lot of inflammation in your body, there is medication that can be taken to help keep the inflammation down. Our family also has severe coronary artery disease on my entire mom's side of the family.  Some have only lived to be 31 and died of severe coronary artery disease per autopsy report.  Shocking at such a young age.  Now that family members are taking medication and seeing their doctors on a regular basis, they are living to be about 75 with no heart surgery.  One aunt lived to be 80, but had two heart surgeries, the last one almost cost her her life as she was in a coma for 3 months.  Diet plays an important role in the health of the heart.  I have tried giving up different foods for a year, than got my blood work done and the numbers definitely changed a lot.  When I gave up red meat, my LDL level dropped extremely as did my triglycerides.  Watch what you eat and take care.
