Heart Attack & Stroke



 
HIGH CHOLESTEROL IS MAIN RISKS FOR 
HEARTH ATTACK AND STROKE


  
Blood pressure and cholesterol levels are not the most accurate way of assessing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

But the measurement of calcium in the arteries gives a better performance of the heart problems.

According to the research it is also indicated that tense of hundreds of patients at low risk of heart attack or stroke might be taking the drugs accordingly.

Some of the peoples whose have no more calcium deposits in the arteries detected on CT scanning are unlikely to suffer by the heart attack or stroke researched by the medical experts.  According to the foreign research, it was intimated that some people are to be at low risk had high scores, it means they could easily be suffered from taking drugs.

It is also found that the using only the traditional risk factors, someone misses a significant percentage of  individuals at high risk. Most of the heart attack affected patients have their risk calculated by their family history, such as cholesterol and blood pressure levels and their lifestyles routine.


 
Calcium screening and measuring uses a CT scanning to directly deposits in heart arteries, which are early signs of furring up of the arteries. These arteries converted into a score ranging from zero from no deposits into the hundreds. The higher score are the great chances of heart attack or stroke in the other days. It is also found that the most of drug treatment usually are starting at score of 60 to 110 than the bigger scores could lead to further tests of heart and artery functions.

At last, it is intimated that the coronary artery calcium testing holds promise as a frontline assessment for the heart attack affectees before they develop heart disease significations. Calcium screening is now widely used in private medicines but hardly at all, which does not have the resources to give the people as an individual and much more accuracy of their risk.
