Most cardiologists shocked to discover the true cause of heart attacks

(NaturalHealth365) For many years, truth be known, cardiologists have just believed that getting a heart attack was bad luck, blaming it on a bad family history, a poor diet, being overweight, or saying “I guess it was just your time, because you haven’t been doing anything wrong.” For the past century, scientific articles have continued to pour in showing that there are very many risk factors for heart disease, like elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and so on. There is no question that such risk factors are clearly associated with heart disease, and, when uncontrolled, appear to accelerate its development. But, there IS a missing link that we must discuss right now. ‘Preventative cardiology’ is becoming the new medicine for heart patients In recent years, cardiology now appears to have collectively realized and accepted that coronary atherosclerosis (arterial narrowing and blockages) never develop in the absence of inflammation in the coronary arterial wall, initially in the endothelium, its innermost layer. As doctors despise treating anything they feel they do not understand, this revelation has helped many of my cardiologist colleagues to feel comfortable that they are no longer treating just ‘unlucky’ individuals, and that they are no longer limited to just taking care of their patients after the heart attack has already occurred. Instead, the thought process is akin to: “Your coronary arteries are chronically inflamed, and we need to minimize that inflammation as best we can.” Yet, while the focus has now shifted to coronary artery inflammation, the conclusion is still that a heart attack victim is more unfortunate than anything else, but that there is now a name for that ‘misfortune’: inflammation.
