My dad died after multiple complications of a heart transplant last year. He told us all before hand to take care of our hearts and to stay healthy. Sometimes you seem perfectly healthy until the one day you aren't and it's just too late💔.
My uncle had three heart attacks in his fourties and he was a farmer lifting bails of hay all day feeding the cow made him really strong so this shock everyone. He changed his diet and is in his upper seventies healthy. Super crazy how you can turn things around.
I live by the philosophy, “Im preparing my body for 80 year old me, when i will be most defenceless.” I try to do all i can to help 65-90 year old me. Health care, savings, etc. So far im not doing as great as I want but old me is definetely gonna thank young me ❤
They tell you what to do what they expect. I have been one of the fittest men. Now 70 I think I might equal a 60 year old. What they don't tell you is that life is like a battery. The faster you go the DNA gets wiped out. At 60 I had lost 20 % at best. At 65 I had lost 30 % at 70 I have lost 50% of strength. I am equal to a 15 year old. So I think may be 85 years expectancy. I know one thing I don't want to exercise as the doctors say. I went from 98% effort to 90% by 60. And recently 80%. Eventually I will fall over. But the body has a built in governer. And nouthing will get you back to where you were. A good life though when I was going at 98%. A cyclist for 51 years. It's a bit depressing now.
You shouldn't also forget that your family genetics play an important role in your longevity. Then there are all sorts of things like occupational hazards, stress, too much or too little exercise, viral infections, environment pollution and so on and so forth. Sometimes there's just not much we can do.
I am 69 years old, I had a heart attack last April. I have been active all my life , played soccer regularly for more than forty years, years of martial arts practice and years of competitive swimming, make it short, in a regular and daily swimming about 2 months before heart attacks I felt pain almost everyday in the middle of 50 minutes routine daily swimming but didn’t pay attention because a month prior to this I had a stress treadmill test and I was told that my heart is just fine with no problems, and was told come back in three years. But one day after swimming 2000 meters with no problems when driving back home I had a heart attack I was lucky to survive and the doctor who did angiogram told me that one of main artery of heart had 99% blockage.
Did it hurt? From 1 to 10 how much? 1: felt it but not so bothered 3-5 ish: definitely was uncomfortable 7-8: worst pain ever 9,5-10: didn’t wanna live
Too much exercise can cause excessive inflammation and lesions within the endothelium which in turn can cause soft plaques to rupture which is what happened in your case and that is why you had a 99% blockage. A stable plaque that builds up over years TO A 90% blockage would have resulted in major pain during exercise along with breathlessness in most cases. So, more than likely you had some blockage because you felt some pain during your exercise sessions. However, a ruptured plaque was the culprit. High dose omega 3s, astaxanthin to prevent omega 3 oxidation, nattokinase, D3/K2, sulforaphane, and high dose niacin are just a few supplements that could help with stabilizing soft plaques. Hope you are doing better!
Fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, my brother, GEEZE, my grand mothers my grand fathers , ME, Two open heart surgeries , every day is a blessing. I am alive !
You had a heart attack because the body isn’t supposed to be as active as you are when you’re almost 70. Not only does strenuous excercise above 150 beats per minute increase older individuals chances of heart attack, but it also increases the amount of plaque getting stuck in our arteries due blood and fat being pumped harder through your system. Low intensity, low weight exercises would be the best from now on. Keep your heart under 150bpm
@@theanatomylabI had that once, it was horrible. Classic background. I told a couple people that my heart actually hurt, physically, it was painful, and no one told me to get it checked out because I didn't pass out or anything. It lasted over a month.
My dad just had a triple bypass on 1-25-24 and on 1-26-24 he was awake from the surgery he is doing amazing it is the best birthday present a daughter can ask for! I also watched. Bypass being done on a young man on youtube, and man, was that amazing! Thankyou agien for another great educational video!
I feel like something not emphasized in the 4 causes is general stress. Stress can cause all sorts of inflammation in the body, and when chronically stressed will cause the same inflammation in your vessels
Thanks for mentioning that lifestyle changes may not be enough. I lost 100+ lbs and quit smoking, and I still need two medications to keep my blood pressure acceptable. The hypertension seems to be a family thing -- my mom had it, as did my brother and all my sisters.
Try cutting sugar and carb intake. Try eating only carbs that increase your blood sugar levels by just a very little. I did this and my BP went down by a lot.
@@user-vh3sb4mg3s I watch nearly all of his shows, and he's big on lack magnesium being behind a lot of problems. I take the type he mentioned for bp , but it's still not helping. I'm going to go back through his videos where he mentions blood pressure, and see if I can learn anything more from him about it. Thanks for your response.
Unwillingness to go to get physicals after age 40 resulted in my husband’s death from heart failure (due to stenosed valve and not telling anyone about shortness of breath). Nothing could be done because of simultaneous DX of stage 4 metastatic carcinoma. I am picking up the pieces and miss him so munch. Do what it takes to get your loved ones to preventive care - I gave up on pushing but I should have enlisted his brother to help make him go to appointments instead of being a no-show.
First off, im very sorry for your loss. But i am curious, when you say shortness of breath how serious are we talking? Like cant talk without panting or just a subtle consistent shortness of breath? I have bad health anxiety so its hard for me to tell if my shortness of breath is anxiety related, due to some underlying issue, or just my bad health habits. I havent been to the doctor in years because i have a hard time affording health insurance.
@@miataqc8763. Shortness of breath as in very little movement or (walking short distances), feeling pressure on your lungs when lying down, exertion, and being out of breath and needing to rest, setting or lying down until you feel better. I hope this answers your concerns.
I suffer acute anxiety and i get tacicardic alot and always getting chest pains even at times im not having anxiety attacks. It has also caused me to collapse and even siezure in past
Increased cortisol levels from having the attacks increase blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and blood pressure. So yes, in an indirect way, having panic attacks is not great for your heart.
The information here is correct. It's a well done video and even helps a person with high hypercholesterolemia like me. My doctors identified that I was prone to high cholesterol because my Dad died at 40 from a heart attack linked to it decades ago. But I thought I could manage the high cholesterol with diet and exercise. Despite really decent effort, that failed and I was able to avoid a heart attack, but still need a very-multiple bypass surgery (open heart surgery) at age 46. Yes folks, it starts much, much earlier than you think. And if you are identified at an early age with the condition, I strongly recommend you consider medications. You may try to lower your cholesterol with diet and exercise alone, but you might wind up like me.
Genetic cholesterol links are just starting to be appreciated. Doctor 10 years ago told me to stop all the red meat, cream, cheese … until I told him I was a strict vegetarian that only drank skim. He was stumped. Diet only gets us so far. Some livers are just really, really good at making cholesterol.
Ldl isn't bad. Poor quality, poor density ldl is bad. Inflammation from a terrible diet is bad. Cholesterol is in every living cell in your body. And ldl and hdl are simply transport vessels to and from the liver. We know too much now to continue blaming Cholesterol.
Working out can actually itself be a cause of a heart attack. Yes, there's such a thing as too much exercise, so you can be overdoing it sometimes if you're not careful.
Would love to see a more detailed video on diabetes. I’m a type 1, I’ve had it since I was 4, would love a deeper dive into the disease and it’s effects on the body!
I'm T1 too, I just wish videos like this were more clear that they are typically referring to Type 2 diabetes, since type 1 and 2 are insanely different. They need different names tbh
Last year July 14 2023 was airlifted for a massive heart attack 5 days later had congested heart failure then 2 weeks suffered another heart attack was in a coma for 10 days. It was scary and in a few days March 12th 2024 getting an ICD put in for my heart squeeze is at 23%. Thank you for these videos
Very important question: Supposed somebody's artery has already a built-up of atherosclerosis, is there any chance to dissolve it and come back to a fully wide, clean artery? It would be super interesting to know the answer to this question! Thanks :)
traditionally it’s been treated by widening the artery in by a process called angioplasty, often with placement of a stent afterwards to help support the artery. But there is also a newer procedure called atherectomy where they go in and remove the plaque from the coronary arteries.
Thank you so much for this educational video. It explains everything so well. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and high blood pressure. And I find this video and your videos very helpful. Thank you again.
My husband has left branch bundle block & coronary artery disease. He had a heart attack 4 years ago at 48. A 99% blockage was discovered too and he had a stent fitted. He was a heavy smoker. He is doing ok but he is on a lot of medication to manage it.
Wonderful video. Your company is one of the bright spots in the RUclips domain. Your company showcases the best of the Internet and the modern age of media. Your content is fascinating while also being educational at the same time. I've never seen anything quite like this! I'm very impressed with your use of cadavers to illustrate the physiology of the human body. The use of actual human tissues brings to life (no pun intended:) human anatomy and physiology. I feel like I'm being treated to a sampling of medical school without having to take an MCAT or pay all the money to attend! 😉Thank you and God bless!☺
Yes take care of your heart, i myself got V.T. no heart attack etc. Which led to transplant, im 7 yrs out and doing good, i walk, bike, and believe it or not get on a dirt bike and ride.. used to race motocross back in the day.. anyway fantastic info and take care of the ticker ...PEACE PEEPS
Seems like there's lots of info on reducing risk for plaque buildup, but what can be done to remove it once it's there? Is surgical intervention the only way?
Exercise dilate your veins and arteries. Avoid flouride. Fluorosilic acid is added to treat tap water. 50% of all ingested fluoride is stored in the bones and is accumulative. Google: atherosclerosis and fluorosilicic acid.
It will, as long as you stick to it. The key to weight control is your insulin levels. Get your fasting insulin checked and once it gets down to around 10, it will become easier to lose weight. Depending on how high your insulin level is, it could take up to 6 months to get it down to that level. For example when i started my ketovore diet, my insulin level would come down about 8-10 points per month. So just be patient and stick with your diet....:)
Excellent video. I had a quadruple bypass 20 years ago. Modern medicine has many ways to help each of us. Following your advice is one of the most cost effective ways to get that help.
This was another banger of a video! Gonna miss Justin heaps, and I'm so glad we still have you, Jonathan. Thanks for the solid info! Out of curiosity, have you done a video specifically on congestive heart failure yet? Very curious about when cholesterol isn't the problem, and the build up of fluid is what's causing the high blood pressure and arrhythmia. That was what slowly killed my father, and I'm always wondering what he was going through at the time, because he was so private and i suspect ashamed of his chronic condition. He would go from two extremes of refusing to admit he even had a disability, to admitting he had a problem but absolutely refusing to talk about it whatsoever. He evn jad two minor strokes due to his condition, and he still refused to go to the hospital and tried to get better by himself at home. There wasnt anything my mother or I could do to get him to be more cooperative, and long story short, we had to accept that we can't help someone care about their physical health when they're just so deeply depressed. I'm so interested in learning more about how this disease progresses. If there is already a video, can i get a link to it please? Or, of not, could you please make it a future video?
Great video! I've been in healthcare some 30 years and people ask me all the time what should they eat and how to exercise. Well, I tell them to do something they can stick with long term because if you are too strict with your diet or your workouts consist of dropping out on the floor in complete exhaustion 5-6 days per week, that won't work. Also, just know this. The body can adapt to just about anything you throw at it. So, do things you enjoy and eat foods you like, BUT in moderation with the bad foods. Why? Because, too much bad food on a daily basis can eventually lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., and then all of a sudden the cholesterol in your blood becomes the problem. Remember this, cholesterol is NOT the problem UNLESS you have inflammation and the cholesterol becomes oxidized. That simple! IF you have NO inflammation, NO underlying health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., then your high cholesterol, LDL, etc., will do NO harm! Why? Because there are NO lesions to repair! So, ask your doc to check some inflammatory markers like HS-CRP, Sedimentation Rate, Lp-PLA2, and others like Homocysteine along with A1c and of course a basic CBC, CMP, and full cholesterol panel that measures LDL particle number, and even size along with Lp(a). As a bonus you can throw in OxLDL and MPO because if you have HIGH HDL which is supposedly the good cholesterol carrier, it can actually work against you IF you have elevated MPO due to inflammation and oxidation. Now all of a sudden you have both LDL and HDL that becomes atherogenic, especially in the presence of elevated triglycerides. IF you don't want to take the time out and spend ALL that money on testing, then look at your triglycerides and HDL. If your HDL is over 50 if you are a male and over 60 for females, AND your triglycerides are very close to what your HDL is, then YOU are good my friends in MOST cases! Ideally you want a 1:1 ratio of triglycerides and HDL. Wow, if you can get that, don't worry about your cholesterol or LDL at ALL regardless of the numbers! Why? Because if you have inflammation and oxidation, you will see triglycerides increase, especially if your blood sugars start to get out of control. Forgot to mention one thing. People THINK that exercise is good. Well, it is when done properly in moderation. Too much exercise can cause excessive inflammation and even LESIONS within the endothelium which in turn can cause your cholesterol to become a problem. Yes, too much exercise CAN BE atherogenic, so to speak! Now, there are some things you can do to offset this by increasing nitric oxide, and a few other things, but that's another story! Okay, more to this, but this comment is getting long. Hope it helps someone!
I was on metformin for 4 months years ago when I hit pre-diabetes range. I stopped drinking gatorade everyday and switched to lemon water and that took care of it, but I loved metformin. My energy levels stayed flat all day and I felt fantastic without them raising and lowering over and over throughout the day. I asked my doctor to put me back on it, and she said no.
Would you be able and willing to do a video on Emphysema, please? My husband has severe emphysema, and since research for COPD is still so underfunded, this would be a great way to help educate the public. Thank you. I LOVE your channel
I love the heart videos!! That’s my favorite thing to learn about in the human body! I know this channel will benefit me as I start nursing school at SLCC
There is newer research that suggests that LDL isn't all bad and that the more important marker to monitor is your triglyceride/HDL ratio, which should be less than 1. Data from subjects with high LDL (sometimes over 300) AND a healthy TG/HDL ratio seems to indicate a protective state for the cardiovascular system, despite having elevated LDL.
This is completely wrong and irresponsible to post. Need sources for this false information. According to Physionics and other medical researchers like Gil from Nutrition Made Simple and Layne Norton, high LDL tends to indicate high ApoB which definitely increases heart disease.
@@mementomori29231 Get over yourself champ. I've done the research (and I have my own lab results that indicate I'm right) so you should go and do your research because you clearly haven't. Physionics is a self-important a$$ just like you seem to be. In any case, no one is forcing you to take to heart anything posted on the internet, so if you don't like it, move on.
@@mementomori29231 Anytime someone says "definitely" about anything in nutrition, you know they don't have a clue. As for Gil and his channel, he is associated with several "plant based organizations" so his opinion is biased. Some of his content is good though. Its always funny to me how the plant based/vegan people are always out protesting something and causing a big ruckus. I never see the meat-eater folks out causing any stirs....lol

This has just reminded me my doctor forgot to do my follow up cholesterol levels test, I had an elevated LDL last year. I was eating so much ice cream, and bad foods because my ex was incredibly good at supporting negative lifestyle changes, and it took me the better part of a year to stop that. I'm still quite overweight, or in American im a little overweight, but actively trying to get my cardio up, and I've cut out most excess sugars now which has definitely shown in my weight loss. It's hard after being so addicted to bad foods, I have to not buy it, once it's home I'm likely to eat it all within the day 😅
A big point left out is sugar and carbs causing the artery damage. All carbs are broken down into glucose in order for the body to utilize it. Glucose forms spikes on red blood cells, which cause damage to the artery lining. Cholesterol is sent to the damaged site in order to repair the artery. As more carbs are consumed, more damage occurs, sending more cholesterol to the artery, narrowing the artery and eventually causing possible blockage. Cholesterol is just there trying to fix the damage caused by carbs. Blaming cholesterol is like blaming a firefighter at the scene of a fire. They are only there to try to help.
Thank you!!! I wish I had found you guys before the pandemic. Recently read that cardiac tissue does not regenerate, so it's so important to make sure we keep it healthy! 💜
Thank you. I’ve always had low cholesterol, but the first thing cardiologists want to do is put me on statins. I started using them for almost a week and everything hurt so much that I didn’t want to get out of bed or off the couch. Before statins, my ldl was 50-52 and when I searched for the dangers of ldl below 50, they were significant such as a 176% increase in hemo? Strokes and a 56% increase in diabetes. Research now says cholesterol doesn’t cause calcification in arteries. It also says old, overweight women with arthritis have the most side effects from statins. I’ve also read if you take statins religiously for 5 years, you’ll live an additional 4 days. I’d really rather live 5 years feeling healthy and well than 5 years 4 days in misery with everything hurting.
@kathygann Thanks for your comment! Most people and doctors don't want to accept or tell us about side effects of such drugs, they just want to push pills at us. I agree with what you are saying...
My mom had 2 heart attacks, the first time she had 99% blockage, so they put a stent. The second time they also put a stent and she survived another 15 years but developed diabetes towards the end. She died when she was 68 from heart failure. I miss her terribly. 😢
LDL is just a carrier. It’s all about triglycerides. On a keto diet your trigs will be rock bottom. LDL can be high as long a it’s a third of HDL. On keto your HDL will be sky high
I required open heart surgery 2 years ago to replace my aortic valve - it had a 5mm hole in it due to endocarditis. I don’t know how or when or why I got endocarditis. But, 3 years before my OHS I went on a low carb diet - no sugars, no refined carbs, no alcohol, just protein and greens. I lost 150lbs before my heart “went bad”. My Cholesterol is: Total Cholesterol=186, Triglycerides=46, HDL=62, LDL=115, VLDL=9, and my blood glucose is typically below 100 all day long. When the cardiologists performed a heart catheterization on me to prep me in advance for the OHS they found my “Widowmaker Artery” clogged at only 20%. They performed no intervention on it. I truly believe I reversed heart disease by eating so strict. I eat no trans fats. I don’t eat a typical Keto diet as I do not eat high fat. My only form of exercise is waking 10-15 minutes daily. That’s it. And I lost 150lbs in doing so. Cut out the pop, candy, bread, rice, potatoes (sweet potato is okay), pasta, sugars, honey, corn, wheat, and other grains.
1:54 atherosclerosis can start in childhood. 2:03 in an autopsy study of 2876 men and women ages 15 to 34 that died from non-cardiac causes, all of them were found to have atherosclerosis.
My heart attack was in my upper chest and upper back. The pain prompted me to go to the ER with concerns about having pneumonia or bronchitis, but it turned out I was having a heart attack. I had flu like symptoms, a hoarse voice, and runny nose, but the fluids were all clear. Within two days of having a stent put in for a 90% blockage, all the symptoms went away. As a pre-diabetic, smoker, with high blood pressure, I started eating apples for snacks and taking that phrase "an apple a day helps keep the doctor away" more seriously. Smoking is a really hard habit to break.
Hey Doctor, I've been hearing from some doctors who support the carnivore diet that triglycerides are a more important health indicator than cholesterol. They also claim that the negative reputation of cholesterol is based on flawed research and that the cholesterol we eat has little impact on our blood cholesterol levels. I don't have a medical background, so I'd like your professional opinion on this. Thanks!
My grandson was born with a very rare heart condition called Shone's Complex. He's the only one at UNC Chapel Hill with it and only the 2nd one his cardiologist has treated! The cardiologist told my daughter not to have another child because they could be worse than my grandson!

I know I'm falling into the trap of the diet debate, but I feel that red meats are getting a bad rep due to saturated fats being that processed meats, such as sausage and bacon are included in the red meat category. However, and more studies are continuing to show, that unprocessed red meats, such as steak are nutrient-dense, containing a good degree of vitamin B12 and of course high in complete protein. Like with everything, moderation and variation is key.
When you mentioned smoking a cigarette was always pictured but what about smoking marijuana? Nowadays marijuana is legal in a lot of states so smoking weed has increased, is this also grouped into your detrimental/bad "stop smoking" category? Many smoke marijuana for pain management or other medical benefits that occur when used. It would be helpful if in your videos you would make the distinction of what kind of smoking you are referring to.

Hi, i don't know if there has been a video about this or not but i am training for an endurance event and wonder what the implications or risks are from high end endurance activity's on the heart? Thanks for the awesome videos!
I see so many videos saying statins are bad. My dr started me on one 3 years ago. I have always excercised regularly. Run 2-3 miles a few times a week and try to eat "good" (i said good, not perfect). On the statin, my cholesterol is 147. HDL is 53. (I dont know what my LDL is. Is that the same as LDLC?). BP at last physical was 126/76. Because i am now over 50 my dr suggested a heart calcium screening. I just got those resluts back last week and it was 0. I'm wondering if i should just stop taking these statins.
My LDL was a little over the 100, 103 or 109, don’t remember but my blood pressure was borderline. They prescribed medication that I haven’t taken yet. I don’t smoke or drink. I work out 6 days a week. I never get out of breath, no pain, never tired. EKG showed some irregularities. I don’t eat perfect, no diabetes and not over wait. I just turned 40.
it's still strange to me that you guys can buy cadavers in the US, but i love you guys for using it for actual education and not setting them up in awkward positions in a shitty museum. this is prolly what people mean and want when donating to science
Moderation is key. Too much or too little of exercise can be detrimental to one's health. Obviously, diet, genetics, stress, and other factors have direct or indirect effect on our health. By the way, laughter is good medicine 😊
When you talk about taking blood pressure. You say seated and such. Why is it when you go to a hospital they have you laying down on the bed and take it, when your in the rooms. Wouldn't that increase your pressure or are the machines able to read it that way? Just curious why they do it differently.

I was released from the hospital last Thursday. I had 6 stents put in. I'm sending this video to my daughter.
How old are you?
I am 69 years old, I had a heart attack last April. I have been active all my life , played soccer regularly for more than forty years, years of martial arts practice and years of competitive swimming, make it short, in a regular and daily swimming about 2 months before heart attacks I felt pain almost everyday in the middle of 50 minutes routine daily swimming but didn’t pay attention because a month prior to this I had a stress treadmill test and I was told that my heart is just fine with no problems, and was told come back in three years. But one day after swimming 2000 meters with no problems when driving back home I had a heart attack I was lucky to survive and the doctor who did angiogram told me that one of main artery of heart had 99% blockage.
Did it hurt?
From 1 to 10 how much?
1: felt it but not so bothered
3-5 ish: definitely was uncomfortable
7-8: worst pain ever
9,5-10: didn’t wanna live
Too much exercise can cause excessive inflammation and lesions within the endothelium which in turn can cause soft plaques to rupture which is what happened in your case and that is why you had a 99% blockage. A stable plaque that builds up over years TO A 90% blockage would have resulted in major pain during exercise along with breathlessness in most cases. So, more than likely you had some blockage because you felt some pain during your exercise sessions. However, a ruptured plaque was the culprit. High dose omega 3s, astaxanthin to prevent omega 3 oxidation, nattokinase, D3/K2, sulforaphane, and high dose niacin are just a few supplements that could help with stabilizing soft plaques. Hope you are doing better!

You had a heart attack because the body isn’t supposed to be as active as you are when you’re almost 70. Not only does strenuous excercise above 150 beats per minute increase older individuals chances of heart attack, but it also increases the amount of plaque getting stuck in our arteries due blood and fat being pumped harder through your system. Low intensity, low weight exercises would be the best from now on. Keep your heart under 150bpm
Worst kind of heart disease is a heartbreak. Happens every time I told each of my crush I had feelings for them.

That's awesome!! He's going to be around for a long time. My grandfather had a triple by pass in his 50s and he's 91years old now👍🏾
I feel like something not emphasized in the 4 causes is general stress. Stress can cause all sorts of inflammation in the body, and when chronically stressed will cause the same inflammation in your vessels
Thanks for mentioning that lifestyle changes may not be enough. I lost 100+ lbs and quit smoking, and I still need two medications to keep my blood pressure acceptable. The hypertension seems to be a family thing -- my mom had it, as did my brother and all my sisters.
Try cutting sugar and carb intake. Try eating only carbs that increase your blood sugar levels by just a very little. I did this and my BP went down by a lot.
Yeah, it just is. Two open heart surgeries here. I quit eating fatty foods years ago. It just is what it is.
Check out Dr. Berg on RUclips. He just did a video on what people who have high blood pressure are lacking. I think low magnesium is a problem.
@@user-vh3sb4mg3s I watch nearly all of his shows, and he's big on lack magnesium being behind a lot of problems. I take the type he mentioned for bp , but it's still not helping. I'm going to go back through his videos where he mentions blood pressure, and see if I can learn anything more from him about it. Thanks for your response.
I have cardiophobia and fear of heart attacks so this video was quite informative considering im trying to not stress about my Heart health too much
Unwillingness to go to get physicals after age 40 resulted in my husband’s death from heart failure (due to stenosed valve and not telling anyone about shortness of breath). Nothing could be done because of simultaneous DX of stage 4 metastatic carcinoma. I am picking up the pieces and miss him so munch.
Do what it takes to get your loved ones to preventive care - I gave up on pushing but I should have enlisted his brother to help make him go to appointments instead of being a no-show.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Please know it's not your fault.
That was his own doing
First off, im very sorry for your loss. But i am curious, when you say shortness of breath how serious are we talking? Like cant talk without panting or just a subtle consistent shortness of breath? I have bad health anxiety so its hard for me to tell if my shortness of breath is anxiety related, due to some underlying issue, or just my bad health habits. I havent been to the doctor in years because i have a hard time affording health insurance.
@@miataqc8763. Shortness of breath as in very little movement or (walking short distances), feeling pressure on your lungs when lying down, exertion, and being out of breath and needing to rest, setting or lying down until you feel better. I hope this answers your concerns.
Question... What is the effect of anxiety/panic attacks on the heart? Does it puts stress on it? Can it facilitate a cardiac problem?
It sure feels like it does, hopefully somebody qualified will replay to your comment. All the best.
No, that's just a side effect of panic attacks. No permanent effects.
Yes it can over time.
I suffer acute anxiety and i get tacicardic alot and always getting chest pains even at times im not having anxiety attacks. It has also caused me to collapse and even siezure in past
Increased cortisol levels from having the attacks increase blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and blood pressure. So yes, in an indirect way, having panic attacks is not great for your heart.
The information here is correct. It's a well done video and even helps a person with high hypercholesterolemia like me. My doctors identified that I was prone to high cholesterol because my Dad died at 40 from a heart attack linked to it decades ago. But I thought I could manage the high cholesterol with diet and exercise. Despite really decent effort, that failed and I was able to avoid a heart attack, but still need a very-multiple bypass surgery (open heart surgery) at age 46. Yes folks, it starts much, much earlier than you think. And if you are identified at an early age with the condition, I strongly recommend you consider medications. You may try to lower your cholesterol with diet and exercise alone, but you might wind up like me.
Thank you for sharing this, and sorry to hear about your dad💔
Genetic cholesterol links are just starting to be appreciated. Doctor 10 years ago told me to stop all the red meat, cream, cheese … until I told him I was a strict vegetarian that only drank skim. He was stumped. Diet only gets us so far. Some livers are just really, really good at making cholesterol.
Ldl isn't bad. Poor quality, poor density ldl is bad. Inflammation from a terrible diet is bad. Cholesterol is in every living cell in your body. And ldl and hdl are simply transport vessels to and from the liver. We know too much now to continue blaming Cholesterol.
Also, very sorry about your father. 💔
Lost my father when he was 40 also. I now have the same problem and have survived one heart attack. So I understand
Love this channel..God bless u guys for all the hard work and information. 🙏🏻
Thanks so much!
I know multiple people who avoided heart attacks because they regularly worked out and that alerted them earlier that something was wrong.
Working out can actually itself be a cause of a heart attack. Yes, there's such a thing as too much exercise, so you can be overdoing it sometimes if you're not careful.
Would love to see a more detailed video on diabetes. I’m a type 1, I’ve had it since I was 4, would love a deeper dive into the disease and it’s effects on the body!
I'm T1 too, I just wish videos like this were more clear that they are typically referring to Type 2 diabetes, since type 1 and 2 are insanely different.
They need different names tbh
Please talk about 1. CAC 2. Aortic aneurysms / aortic dissection 3. HCM
Last year July 14 2023 was airlifted for a massive heart attack 5 days later had congested heart failure then 2 weeks suffered another heart attack was in a coma for 10 days. It was scary and in a few days March 12th 2024 getting an ICD put in for my heart squeeze is at 23%. Thank you for these videos
Very important question: Supposed somebody's artery has already a built-up of atherosclerosis, is there any chance to dissolve it and come back to a fully wide, clean artery? It would be super interesting to know the answer to this question! Thanks :)
This is exactly the question I had in mind while watching this.
traditionally it’s been treated by widening the artery in by a process called angioplasty, often with placement of a stent afterwards to help support the artery.
But there is also a newer procedure called atherectomy where they go in and remove the plaque from the coronary arteries.
@@am529 Is there no way that it can be dissolved somehow chemically by the body itself?
@@iliaskousis5644 it may be possible in the early stages (that I’m not sure about), but not once the plaque deposits have calcified
Exercise dialates your veins and arteries.
Research fluorosilic acid as a causative
Knowledge is power indeed, thanks very much for sharing ❤❤❤
Love that the video provides the tools to improve one’s health!
Thank you so much for this educational video. It explains everything so well. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and high blood pressure. And I find this video and your videos very helpful. Thank you again.
My husband has left branch bundle block & coronary artery disease. He had a heart attack 4 years ago at 48. A 99% blockage was discovered too and he had a stent fitted. He was a heavy smoker.
He is doing ok but he is on a lot of medication to manage it.
I hope the changes he makes allows him to stay with you for years and years to come. 48 is far too young.
@@kentaronagame7529 thankyou. It was extremely frightening at the time. No more smoking that's for sure.
This is infomative and fortunately found it's way to being useful for my physical health plan. Thank you
Can’t wait for a video titled “ your body on ozempic “
Wonderful video. Your company is one of the bright spots in the RUclips domain. Your company showcases the best of the Internet and the modern age of media. Your content is fascinating while also being educational at the same time. I've never seen anything quite like this! I'm very impressed with your use of cadavers to illustrate the physiology of the human body. The use of actual human tissues brings to life (no pun intended:) human anatomy and physiology. I feel like I'm being treated to a sampling of medical school without having to take an MCAT or pay all the money to attend! 😉Thank you and God bless!☺
Yes take care of your heart, i myself got V.T. no heart attack etc. Which led to transplant, im 7 yrs out and doing good, i walk, bike, and believe it or not get on a dirt bike and ride.. used to race motocross back in the day.. anyway fantastic info and take care of the ticker ...PEACE PEEPS
Seems like there's lots of info on reducing risk for plaque buildup, but what can be done to remove it once it's there? Is surgical intervention the only way?
Exercise dilate your veins and arteries. Avoid flouride.
Fluorosilic acid is added to treat tap water. 50% of all ingested fluoride is stored in the bones and is accumulative.
Google: atherosclerosis and fluorosilicic acid.
Ive started the Keto diet as I was told it will help my weight and my BP.
It will, as long as you stick to it. The key to weight control is your insulin levels. Get your fasting insulin checked and once it gets down to around 10, it will become easier to lose weight. Depending on how high your insulin level is, it could take up to 6 months to get it down to that level. For example when i started my ketovore diet, my insulin level would come down about 8-10 points per month. So just be patient and stick with your diet....:)
Excellent video. I had a quadruple bypass 20 years ago. Modern medicine has many ways to help each of us. Following your advice is one of the most cost effective ways to get that help.
This was another banger of a video! Gonna miss Justin heaps, and I'm so glad we still have you, Jonathan. Thanks for the solid info!
Out of curiosity, have you done a video specifically on congestive heart failure yet? Very curious about when cholesterol isn't the problem, and the build up of fluid is what's causing the high blood pressure and arrhythmia. That was what slowly killed my father, and I'm always wondering what he was going through at the time, because he was so private and i suspect ashamed of his chronic condition. He would go from two extremes of refusing to admit he even had a disability, to admitting he had a problem but absolutely refusing to talk about it whatsoever. He evn jad two minor strokes due to his condition, and he still refused to go to the hospital and tried to get better by himself at home. There wasnt anything my mother or I could do to get him to be more cooperative, and long story short, we had to accept that we can't help someone care about their physical health when they're just so deeply depressed. I'm so interested in learning more about how this disease progresses. If there is already a video, can i get a link to it please? Or, of not, could you please make it a future video?
Great video! I've been in healthcare some 30 years and people ask me all the time what should they eat and how to exercise. Well, I tell them to do something they can stick with long term because if you are too strict with your diet or your workouts consist of dropping out on the floor in complete exhaustion 5-6 days per week, that won't work. Also, just know this. The body can adapt to just about anything you throw at it. So, do things you enjoy and eat foods you like, BUT in moderation with the bad foods. Why? Because, too much bad food on a daily basis can eventually lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., and then all of a sudden the cholesterol in your blood becomes the problem. Remember this, cholesterol is NOT the problem UNLESS you have inflammation and the cholesterol becomes oxidized. That simple! IF you have NO inflammation, NO underlying health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., then your high cholesterol, LDL, etc., will do NO harm! Why? Because there are NO lesions to repair! So, ask your doc to check some inflammatory markers like HS-CRP, Sedimentation Rate, Lp-PLA2, and others like Homocysteine along with A1c and of course a basic CBC, CMP, and full cholesterol panel that measures LDL particle number, and even size along with Lp(a). As a bonus you can throw in OxLDL and MPO because if you have HIGH HDL which is supposedly the good cholesterol carrier, it can actually work against you IF you have elevated MPO due to inflammation and oxidation. Now all of a sudden you have both LDL and HDL that becomes atherogenic, especially in the presence of elevated triglycerides. IF you don't want to take the time out and spend ALL that money on testing, then look at your triglycerides and HDL. If your HDL is over 50 if you are a male and over 60 for females, AND your triglycerides are very close to what your HDL is, then YOU are good my friends in MOST cases! Ideally you want a 1:1 ratio of triglycerides and HDL. Wow, if you can get that, don't worry about your cholesterol or LDL at ALL regardless of the numbers! Why? Because if you have inflammation and oxidation, you will see triglycerides increase, especially if your blood sugars start to get out of control. Forgot to mention one thing. People THINK that exercise is good. Well, it is when done properly in moderation. Too much exercise can cause excessive inflammation and even LESIONS within the endothelium which in turn can cause your cholesterol to become a problem. Yes, too much exercise CAN BE atherogenic, so to speak! Now, there are some things you can do to offset this by increasing nitric oxide, and a few other things, but that's another story! Okay, more to this, but this comment is getting long. Hope it helps someone!
Thank you
I was on metformin for 4 months years ago when I hit pre-diabetes range. I stopped drinking gatorade everyday and switched to lemon water and that took care of it, but I loved metformin. My energy levels stayed flat all day and I felt fantastic without them raising and lowering over and over throughout the day. I asked my doctor to put me back on it, and she said no.
Would you be able and willing to do a video on Emphysema, please? My husband has severe emphysema, and since research for COPD is still so underfunded, this would be a great way to help educate the public. Thank you. I LOVE your channel
I love the heart videos!! That’s my favorite thing to learn about in the human body! I know this channel will benefit me as I start nursing school at SLCC
There is newer research that suggests that LDL isn't all bad and that the more important marker to monitor is your triglyceride/HDL ratio, which should be less than 1. Data from subjects with high LDL (sometimes over 300) AND a healthy TG/HDL ratio seems to indicate a protective state for the cardiovascular system, despite having elevated LDL.
This is completely wrong and irresponsible to post. Need sources for this false information. According to Physionics and other medical researchers like Gil from Nutrition Made Simple and Layne Norton, high LDL tends to indicate high ApoB which definitely increases heart disease.
Little ApoB
@@mementomori29231 Get over yourself champ. I've done the research (and I have my own lab results that indicate I'm right) so you should go and do your research because you clearly haven't. Physionics is a self-important a$$ just like you seem to be. In any case, no one is forcing you to take to heart anything posted on the internet, so if you don't like it, move on.
@@mementomori29231 I could have guessed from your arrogant comment that you watch the self-important Physionics. I have no use for him nor you.
@@mementomori29231 Anytime someone says "definitely" about anything in nutrition, you know they don't have a clue. As for Gil and his channel, he is associated with several "plant based organizations" so his opinion is biased. Some of his content is good though. Its always funny to me how the plant based/vegan people are always out protesting something and causing a big ruckus. I never see the meat-eater folks out causing any stirs....lol
Man this channel is easily top 5 best content provider on the whole of youtube, keep up the amazing videos comin I love learning about my body in such fun and bite sized format, dope af
This has just reminded me my doctor forgot to do my follow up cholesterol levels test, I had an elevated LDL last year. I was eating so much ice cream, and bad foods because my ex was incredibly good at supporting negative lifestyle changes, and it took me the better part of a year to stop that. I'm still quite overweight, or in American im a little overweight, but actively trying to get my cardio up, and I've cut out most excess sugars now which has definitely shown in my weight loss. It's hard after being so addicted to bad foods, I have to not buy it, once it's home I'm likely to eat it all within the day 😅
Why do you place corpses in the frame? It's intimidating, man
Alcoholism has to be an absolute heart killer as well.
Or I should add AFTER moderation. Is when alcohol is terrible. Some say 1-2 drinks in a day is a myth for health.
It absolutely is. Look up alcohol related dilated cardiomyopathy.
I think binge drinking is the worst for the heart,im talking huge amounts of alcohol and cigarettes
A big point left out is sugar and carbs causing the artery damage. All carbs are broken down into glucose in order for the body to utilize it. Glucose forms spikes on red blood cells, which cause damage to the artery lining. Cholesterol is sent to the damaged site in order to repair the artery. As more carbs are consumed, more damage occurs, sending more cholesterol to the artery, narrowing the artery and eventually causing possible blockage. Cholesterol is just there trying to fix the damage caused by carbs. Blaming cholesterol is like blaming a firefighter at the scene of a fire. They are only there to try to help.
Excellent video. Thanks Doc! 😊
Great channel. Thank you for getting to the point with the details that we learned to understand with you.
This was nice for quick and light revision
Amazing invaluable information. Absolutely love this channel, keep up the awesome teachings!
Thank you doctor. I always love and appreciate your lecture because it is very useful to all. God bless you always. Amen
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!! I wish I had found you guys before the pandemic. Recently read that cardiac tissue does not regenerate, so it's so important to make sure we keep it healthy! 💜
Low carb whole food diet. It’s not the healthy fat you eat. It’s all the processed grains, sugar and seed oils.
That's so great! Thank you for watching the video. Wishing you a happy and joy new day❤❤
14:48 This is the best "easy to understand" summarised presentation I've seen on this topic & is immensely valuable. Thank you
Thank you. I’ve always had low cholesterol, but the first thing cardiologists want to do is put me on statins. I started using them for almost a week and everything hurt so much that I didn’t want to get out of bed or off the couch. Before statins, my ldl was 50-52 and when I searched for the dangers of ldl below 50, they were significant such as a 176% increase in hemo? Strokes and a 56% increase in diabetes. Research now says cholesterol doesn’t cause calcification in arteries. It also says old, overweight women with arthritis have the most side effects from statins. I’ve also read if you take statins religiously for 5 years, you’ll live an additional 4 days. I’d really rather live 5 years feeling healthy and well than 5 years 4 days in misery with everything hurting.
@@stevet5549 their doctor wanted wanted that statin money.
@kathygann Thanks for your comment! Most people and doctors don't want to accept or tell us about side effects of such drugs, they just want to push pills at us. I agree with what you are saying...
Low ldl is not good, cholesterol does not cause atherosclerosis, sugar does.
was my comment deleted?
@@stevet5549 their doctor wanted that statin money
Cardiology and dentistry... united in the war on plaque!
Worst kind of heart disease is the vaccine side effects. How to prevent it? Don´t get vaccinated!
And they add Fluorosilic acid to make them lots of money by making you sicker
Except dentists are scam artists that everyone should avoid like the plague.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, officially have my offer for my dream medical school- Great to watch your videos !
My mom had 2 heart attacks, the first time she had 99% blockage, so they put a stent. The second time they also put a stent and she survived another 15 years but developed diabetes towards the end. She died when she was 68 from heart failure. I miss her terribly. 😢
Awesome channel!! Glad I found it on RUclips!!
LDL is just a carrier. It’s all about triglycerides. On a keto diet your trigs will be rock bottom. LDL can be high as long a it’s a third of HDL. On keto your HDL will be sky high
I required open heart surgery 2 years ago to replace my aortic valve - it had a 5mm hole in it due to endocarditis. I don’t know how or when or why I got endocarditis. But, 3 years before my OHS I went on a low carb diet - no sugars, no refined carbs, no alcohol, just protein and greens. I lost 150lbs before my heart “went bad”. My Cholesterol is: Total Cholesterol=186, Triglycerides=46, HDL=62, LDL=115, VLDL=9, and my blood glucose is typically below 100 all day long. When the cardiologists performed a heart catheterization on me to prep me in advance for the OHS they found my “Widowmaker Artery” clogged at only 20%. They performed no intervention on it. I truly believe I reversed heart disease by eating so strict. I eat no trans fats. I don’t eat a typical Keto diet as I do not eat high fat. My only form of exercise is waking 10-15 minutes daily. That’s it. And I lost 150lbs in doing so. Cut out the pop, candy, bread, rice, potatoes (sweet potato is okay), pasta, sugars, honey, corn, wheat, and other grains.
U know what..seeing ur videos make me learn about human anatomy even more...enjoying ur content a lot ✨️🫡

1:54 atherosclerosis can start in childhood.
2:03 in an autopsy study of 2876 men and women ages 15 to 34 that died from non-cardiac causes, all of them were found to have atherosclerosis.
My heart attack was in my upper chest and upper back. The pain prompted me to go to the ER with concerns about having pneumonia or bronchitis, but it turned out I was having a heart attack. I had flu like symptoms, a hoarse voice, and runny nose, but the fluids were all clear. Within two days of having a stent put in for a 90% blockage, all the symptoms went away. As a pre-diabetic, smoker, with high blood pressure, I started eating apples for snacks and taking that phrase "an apple a day helps keep the doctor away" more seriously. Smoking is a really hard habit to break.
I’ ve seen doing HIIT cardio for years along with strength training. I love using the step mill and assault bike. I get 6 hours of cardio in a week
EXCELLENT!
Hey Doctor,
I've been hearing from some doctors who support the carnivore diet that triglycerides are a more important health indicator than cholesterol. They also claim that the negative reputation of cholesterol is based on flawed research and that the cholesterol we eat has little impact on our blood cholesterol levels. I don't have a medical background, so I'd like your professional opinion on this.
Thanks!
Yes mate follow the carnivore docs not these sell outs!
Absolutely...
I pay for premium so I don't have ads and then they put them in the video
My grandson was born with a very rare heart condition called Shone's Complex. He's the only one at UNC Chapel Hill with it and only the 2nd one his cardiologist has treated! The cardiologist told my daughter not to have another child because they could be worse than my grandson!
Thank you very much for an interesting video about heart disease. Greetings from Poland.

@@theanatomylab Hit game Amon Goose, where space men suspect each other of a stabbing in the back most deceitfully. Yeah it's pretty much just a shortening of the full word, though can mean both "suspect" and "suspicious", but imbued with its context.

Why don't you comment on the adverse affects of statin drugs instead of just wholesale recommending them.
They have to follow rules set by "The Ministry of Truth."
Healthy people are not profitable to big pharma and Medical Industries.
I know I'm falling into the trap of the diet debate, but I feel that red meats are getting a bad rep due to saturated fats being that processed meats, such as sausage and bacon are included in the red meat category.
However, and more studies are continuing to show, that unprocessed red meats, such as steak are nutrient-dense, containing a good degree of vitamin B12 and of course high in complete protein.
Like with everything, moderation and variation is key.
From Greece with a lot of love, It would be interesting to do an episode about the theory based on nutrition based on blood type
When you mentioned smoking a cigarette was always pictured but what about smoking marijuana? Nowadays marijuana is legal in a lot of states so smoking weed has increased, is this also grouped into your detrimental/bad "stop smoking" category? Many smoke marijuana for pain management or other medical benefits that occur when used. It would be helpful if in your videos you would make the distinction of what kind of smoking you are referring to.
Marijuana can strain the cardiovascular system too. There are multiple papers published on this.
what about stress
Please a reminder to make a video explaining anxiety disorder and it's physical symptoms,
And why it's so hard to recover from an anxiety disorder, and why symptoms show up even when not apprehensively anxious..
No one with low cholesterol will live to 100 years old, high cholesterol isn't necessarily bad.
No, but they likely won't keel over in their 50s either like some folks I knew.

Prevention is good but can anything be done about already built up plaque or does that require surgery?
I see so many videos saying statins are bad. My dr started me on one 3 years ago. I have always excercised regularly. Run 2-3 miles a few times a week and try to eat "good" (i said good, not perfect). On the statin, my cholesterol is 147. HDL is 53. (I dont know what my LDL is. Is that the same as LDLC?). BP at last physical was 126/76. Because i am now over 50 my dr suggested a heart calcium screening. I just got those resluts back last week and it was 0. I'm wondering if i should just stop taking these statins.
My LDL was a little over the 100, 103 or 109, don’t remember but my blood pressure was borderline. They prescribed medication that I haven’t taken yet. I don’t smoke or drink. I work out 6 days a week. I never get out of breath, no pain, never tired. EKG showed some irregularities. I don’t eat perfect, no diabetes and not over wait. I just turned 40.
Good video Johnathan x
Regularly checking your cholesterol levels and blood pressure is always a good idea, not only for prevention of atherosclerosis
I got the worst LDL genetics from my dad's side of the family. Started meditation at age 16 with an LDL of around 240.
it's still strange to me that you guys can buy cadavers in the US, but i love you guys for using it for actual education and not setting them up in awkward positions in a shitty museum. this is prolly what people mean and want when donating to science
Great information ❤
Moderation is key. Too much or too little of exercise can be detrimental to one's health. Obviously, diet, genetics, stress, and other factors have direct or indirect effect on our health. By the way, laughter is good medicine 😊

When you talk about taking blood pressure. You say seated and such. Why is it when you go to a hospital they have you laying down on the bed and take it, when your in the rooms. Wouldn't that increase your pressure or are the machines able to read it that way? Just curious why they do it differently.
