heart disease and technology
1. How often do you have health checkup?
2. Are you aware of the seriousness of heart attacks/stroke? Please, share your experience?
3. Based on such experience how do you think technology could support the prevention of heart attack?
4. What do you think about a device that can help you prevent heart attack /stroke?
- Monitor your heart conditions,
-Gives you a heads up on your heart status
- and in general provides you with analytics to improve a person's well being?
5. What are your greatest concerns about using such device?
6. Would you buy such device for you or your relatives, to prevent heart attack ?
Lol niko.. The biggest contributing factor to heart disease is genetics.
Things like lifestyle, cholesterol etc only serve to aggrevate/accelerate a disease processes thats already there.
The process of atherosclerosis is pretty well understood relative to other ailments.
So what im getting at i suppose is i can agree with anyone that says that theres sort of a.. Disinformation campaign with regards to the nature of atherosclerosis.. Its often pitched as this acquired disease when in fact its familial..
However this disinformation campaign hardly goes so far as to constitute a coverup of some kind. Its more of a "white lie", it aims to assist the general public in making what modifications they can with the hope of reducing the burden of the disease on the general public..
If everyone thought of heart disease and the first thing that came to mind is 'genes' instead of 'cheeseburgers', why would they even care about living healthy? Why not just let jesus take the wheel yknow?
But that 'cheeseburger' thought might actually cause those folks that are genetically predisposed to make lifestyle changes that can prolong their lives.

You might want to read my post again.
I think you may have missed the main idea.
Here's the main idea In a... capsule:
Thyroid involvement in Heart disease is immense.
Dr. Broda Barnes had 1,569 patients on natural thyroid hormone who were observed for a total of 8,824 patient years. These patients were classified by age, sex, elevated cholesterol, and high blood pressure, and compared to similar patients in the Framingham Heart Study. Based on the statistics derived in the study, seventy-two of Dr. Barnes’s patients should have died from heart attacks; however, only four patients had done so. This represents a decreased heart attack death rate of 95 percent in patients who received natural thyroid hormone!!!
The most important factor, mainly ignored by conventional medicine.
Heart business is big business.
Cardiologists, equipment, machines surgeries, Statins...
Natural desiccated thyroid supplement is derived from pigs' thyroid, a very inexpensive source.
Testing by basal temperature taking
almost at no cost!
(before new and flawed thyroid lab tests were introduced by modern
medicine)
Follow the $$$
Best wishes,
Niko

All this sounds great in... theory!
However, medical science has been oblivious to the
predominant factor in heart disease: Low Thyroid Function
In 1950, Dr. Broda Barnes began a long-term study to determine if proper treatment of hypothyroidism would prevent heart attacks.
In 1948, The National Heart Institute began the famous Framingham Study, officially named, “The Heart Disease Epidemiology Study” to determine why heart attacks were rapidly reaching epidemic proportions.
Dr. Barnes intended his work to parallel the Framingham Study.
After 22 years of ongoing study, in 1972, Dr. Barnes published the results of his work in a book, Heart Attack Rareness in Thyroid-Treated Patients documenting his work with 1,569 patients.
The Framingham Study would have predicted 72 of Dr. Barnes’ patients should have suffered heart attacks. Only 4 occurred!
And those four patients were on low dose—none of the patients on higher doses of thyroid hormone (NDT) had a heart attack.
At least 30 of Dr. Barnes’ patients who quit the study and discontinued thyroid hormones suffered fatal heart attacks within 6 years of stopping their thyroid hormones.
In 1976, four years later, Dr. Barnes published his book, Solved: The Riddle of Heart Attacks.
I suggest you read the aforementioned books and studies carefully and draw your own conclusions.
To me it is quite clear. But to the majority of Medical Professionals and scientists, it is perhaps as clear as ...
mud, or at least they make it appear as such :(
So much for technology, testing, controlling cholesterol
and lifestyle risk factors. etc. should we continue ignoring Hypothyroidism's (type 1 and 2) role in Heart disease!
Cheers,
Niko

Ill answer 6 only, because on account of my career choice ive had an abnormally large quantity of diagnostic tests performed for esucational purposes.
6. In my opinion if a device is affordable yeah it will sell..
For example they make those little ekg monitors.. Theyre like.. The size of a usb stick and you just place your index fingers on it snd it sends your single lead rhythm to your smart phone.. The price? $99! Brilliant.
If like.. A subq telemetry was available for a reasonable price and included a subscription fee that would be a great thing.. Something like a life alert 2 year monitor hybrid, id get behind that.
