First Help for Heart Diseas

According to the theory that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is related to a deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) was first proposed by the Canadian physician G. C. Willis in 1953. Willis found that atherosclerotic plaques form over vitamin-C-starved vascular tissues in both guinea pigs and human beings. In 1989, after the discoveries of the Lp(a) cholesterol molecule (circa 1964) and its lysine binding sites (circa 1987), Linus Pauling and his associate Matthias Rath formulated a unified theory of heart disease and invented the cure.Vitamin C and lysine (and proline) in large amounts become Lp(a) binding inhibitors that restore vascular health and destroy atherosclerotic plaques. It's suggested to that you must consume vitamin C routine everyday to prevent heart attact. But if you have had a heart attack before, or if you have several risk factors, the following steps may help prevent heart attacks and save you from severe disability or even death.

• Take a low-dose aspirin tablet (160 or 325 mg) every day. Aspirin increases the risk of bleeding in some people. Ask your health care provider before taking daily aspirin.
  
• If you smoke, quit. This is the single best lifestyle change you can make. After 3 years of not smoking, the risk of heart disease drops to the level of a nonsmoker. Your health care provider can help you quit smoking through behavioral changes, medications, or use of nicotine replacement products.
  
• Lower the cholesterol level in your blood. Lowering your cholesterol, especially the level of "bad" LDL cholesterol, keeps plaques from building up in the coronary arteries. The total cholesterol level should be kept below 200 mg/dL, and the LDL cholesterol level below 130 mg/dL (under 100 mg/dL in those with known heart disease or diabetes). Some people are able to control their cholesterol level by changing what they eat; others require medication.
  
• Keep your intake of calories from fat under 30% of your total calories. This translates to an intake of less than 60 grams of fat per day for an adult. Most diets in Western countries contain more fat than is recommended.
  
• Control blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is one of the most common causes of heart disease.
  
• Control diabetes carefully. Uncontrolled diabetes increases your risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and circulation problems.
  
• If you take hormone replacement therapy (HRT), talk with your health care provider right away. HRT is no longer considered to protect women from heart disease and heart attacks.

Next step to handle this case, you must do medical treatment to keep your heart condition steady or healthy by doing this;

General treatment measures include the following:

• Oxygen through a tube in the nose or face mask
  
• Nitroglycerin under the tongue
  
• Pain medicines (morphine or meperidine)
  
• Aspirin: Those with allergy to aspirin may be given clopidogrel (Plavix).

Clot-dissolving medicines: The tissue plasminogen activators (tPAs) can actually dissolve clots in some circumstances.

• The earlier these drugs are given, the better the chance of opening the blocked artery and of protecting the cardiac muscle from further injury.
  
• If more than 6 hours has passed since the onset of chest pain, these drugs are less helpful.
  
• Potential risks of this therapy include bleeding.
  
• The most serious risk is a stroke (bleeding into the brain).
