"Stents, bypass surgery offer only limited benefits for millions with heart disease, study finds
PHILADELPHIA — Stents and coronary artery bypass surgery are no more effective than intensive drug treatment and better health habits in preventing millions of Americans from heart attacks and death, a large study found, shedding new light on a major controversy in cardiology. ... "

D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

ok thanks.
You know what is good to prevent it, 1 hour per day or more aerobic exercise, no smoking, a diet low in saturated fats, high in omega 3 fatty acids, oily fish, very little red meat or pork or fatty chicken, a Ninja blended glass full of vegetables and fruits and at some point tablespoon of psyllium husks diluted in a glass of water.
If you slip up, it's OK just get back to it.

but why go on "intensive drugs" if a stent works just as well?

One of my racketball friends had a quadruple bypass Friday. He has 4 brothers and 3 of them have had open-heart surgery. His father did too. Drugs were not going to save him.

genes are a huge part of any health deal
how you treat your body is also very important
whatever you inherited it makes good sense to try to extend the ride

Truth is we are all snowflakes with different bodies responding differently to similar stimuli. Genetics is a huge factor. Diet and exercise is another. But many do everything that medical science suggests and they still get blockages.
My brother has angioplasty when he was in his 40s. He swam every day and played tennis. He was a near vegetarian and his weight was ideal. He was back at work in a week after the procedure. He asked his doctor what he got from doing everything right. The doc said,"you were back to work in a week".

Very true. For example...
My mom lived to be almost 95.
She grew up in Germany in the 20's and 30's when people ate high fat, high cholesterol, high sodium diets with nary a thought to what constituted "healthy" by today's standards. Spent the first 60 years of her life doing mostly the same, because in those days, that's the way everybody ate. Few people spent much time thinking about things like low-fat, high-fiber, etc.
It wasn't until the 1980's that she, along with the rest of the modern world, began to consider things like fat, sugar and sodium.
The extent of her exercise, was a lot of house and yard work. Always kept her home immaculately clean. Didn't start going to the doctor for regular checkups until she was in her 80's and learned she had T2 diabetes and high blood pressure. In spite of that, she always looked about 10 or 20 years younger than she really was. In her 80's, she could have passed for being in her 60's or early 70's.
My dad lived until he was 84 and he smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day most of his life, having started when he was a kid and smoking unfiltered Camels in the Army, during WWII. Had he quit smoking when he was in his 50's or 60's, he probably would've lived another 10 years. But his diet was basically the same as my mom's. One of his favorite snacks was peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.
Anyway, I'm hoping to enjoy any potential inherited genetic benefits while adopting healthier lifestyle habits.
C'MON MAN!!!!
