Are You Heading For a Heart Attack?
Six Tests You Better Make Sure Your Doctor Orders!
There have been more than 20 studies showing the efficacy of the CRP test (C-reactive protein test).
More than half of these have shown that high CRP levels predict a 100% increased risk of heart attack. This is much more important the old standbys, including cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking, etc.
You see, they have treatments and drugs recycled paper for all the other tests, statin drugs for cholesterol, and channel blockers, diuretics, and more for blood pressure.
But when it comes to CRP, the world of medicine does not know what it means, and they have no idea what to do about it.
After close to 30 years of reading studies, I can tell you that if your CRP is high, and especially if it is combined with other heart disease markers, you had BETTER TAKE ACTION NOW.
Common Sense?
The most critical heart tests cannot be gathered from heart screenings.
These screenings should be avoided, they only lead to inconclusive results; false positives; and lots and lots of further testing and invasive medical procedures including angiography, bypasses, drugs, and more.
The tests that really paint a picture are Total Cholesterol with HDL and LDL fractions, triglycerides, fasting glucose, CRP, Homocysteine, and Heart Recovery Rate.
Heart Recovery Rate is the rate at which the heart recovers from extreme aerobic maximum output . Your heart rate at maximum aerobic output minus the heart rate after a minute’s rest from peak output is your Heart Recovery Rate. It should be 20 or better and is critical if it is 12 or less.
When you test your Heart Recovery Rate, glucose, cholesterol (HDL/LDL), C-Reactive Protein, Homocysteine and Triglycerides, you really have something.
If you have two or more out of normal, you need to take IMMEDIATE ACTION.
