Researchers from the University of Kiel in Germany say that people who have share a common gene mutation and thus have a greater risk of heart attacks. This study is a particularly interesting one, as it could go a long way to explaining why people with perfectly healthy hearts are sometimes hospitalized due to serious heart health problems.

According to study leader Dr. Arne Schaefer their study results indicate that gum disease should be taken very seriously as it can lead to the onset of coronary heart disease if not treated properly. is the leading cause of death on a global scale, and now with this study finding, the hope is that better screening options can be made available to identify the dental condition early.

  1. Actually, right now I am suffering from a blockage in the coronary artery and was once blocked up to 85%. I got the stent implantation which is a mesh like spring which is used to broaden the artery and hence restoring back the blood flow. You can see further information regarding stent operation from www.heartsite.com/html/stent.html. I got to know everything regarding my stent operation from this site. I was really unaware of such a blockage. I sometimes feel dizzy, restless, lazy , but thought that to be something related to mental ability, and hence never worried about it. Once I got my basic medical checkup at Elite health medical office in Los Angeles. The ECG report went to be something suspicious. So, they advised me to have further advance diagnosis to determine and assure regarding the problem in the heart. After my MRI , CT scan and other such scans it came to me as a shock that I was facing a problem of blockage. It was quite surprising to me, and as I was not aware of anything regarding this, I was really frightened. The doctors explained me every information regarding my health and its treatment, and suggested me to have stent operation. That was some dreadful days of my life, which I faced only because I was careless about my health. It was my luck that I somehow went for a basic checkup at elite health, but every woman out there may not be so lucky.
