Nice device but I don't think it will diagnose people any sooner. The electrical activity is sometimes affected by heart disease, but usually in late stages of development. I had a total block in my LAD, RCA and a 70% blockage in my LCX but my ECG looked normal.
I think the key is education, people need to be made aware of how heart disease can be caused by many factors and what those factors are. It's a shame though, too many people think "I feel fine, it won't happen to me".
Hello,
Thanks for the amazing information you are discussing. I come from a family that has had heart issues for generations and generations. This has given me enough motivation to work with patients who suffer from the same problems.
As part of my work, I have to look for new technology to help reduce the time it takes a patient to get diagnosed and start treatment for any heart disease. A
As I was browsing online, I found a very interesting company called SHL, who’s products are some of the most modern I found in the market. They have a device called Smartheart that allows patients to take EKGs at home and send the results to their doctor immediately. Please take a look, as I think it is something very unique.

The oldest form of relaxation is the best one for the cardiovascular system, and it requires no expense, just 30 mins a day. Lay on a comfortable surface, such as your bed, then close your eyes. Take some slow deep breaths and think about somewhere nice. Then go from your forehead right down to your toes, relaxing every muscle as you go. Once all are relaxed, just lay there thinking about your favourite place for about 20 more mins. You wont believe how much the average heart slows down during this procedure and even though it's only a short period of time, it adds years to your life if done every day.
I'm really thinking of getting one of those infra red massage to address all of the tension in my back, arms and even feet. I eat 86per cent chocolate and it does my spirits good. Thanks for all the advice
In support of what Ed says, I can tell you that in the cardiac rehabilitation that I had, we were told how to relax and encourage to make 20-30 minutes of relaxation daily.
As per the sugar, I find a good substitute in the Stevia (a plant from Sud-America). I mainly use to sweet my coffee.
A new line of thinking says that taking Vitamin K2 can reduce the calcification occlusion in the arteries.
Jesus.
If it's high quality chocolate, the dark stuff expensive stuff high in cocoa, then it's meant to be good for the heart.
Thank you very much for that. It is helpful to hear from someone who is has experienced the same thing. I am a high stress person. Don't eat a lot of processed sugar though but will cut out my one pice of cake with coffee per day. Chocolate? I love dark dark chocolate and generally have a square or two a day. It's supposed to be good for the heart but maybe the sugar is bad news.
