Why you Need Angioplasty or Bypass?

Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis involve the buildup of deposits on the inside of artery walls that causes thickening and hardening of the arteries. In arteriosclerosis, the deposits are composed largely of calcium; in atherosclerosis, that deposits consist of fatty substances, and artery walls lose elasticity and harden. Both conditions have the same effect on circulation, causing high blood pressure and ultimately leading to angina ( chest pain brought on by exertion), heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death.

Many Doctors recommend angioplasty or bypass surgery for people with hardening of the arteries, particularly for those with disabling angina. Angioplasty is a procedure in which blocked blood vessels are reopened by flattening cholesterol and debris against artery walls. Bypass surgery involves taking healthy blood vessel from elsewhere in the body ( usually the leg) and inserting them to detour around a diseased artery. Unless people undergoing these procedures make significant nutritional and life style changes, however, the disease process (atherosclerosis) will continue, and it is only a matter of time before the fatty deposits begin to build up again. Impotence can result from this disease.

Omega 3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) can be beneficial for the cardiovascular system. They are precursors of prostaglandins that aid in
reducing hypertension, migraine headache, arthritis and other conditions. Omega 3 EFAs are found in fresh deep water fish, fish oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil and walnut oil. Omega -6 EFAs can be obtained from raw nuts, legumes, seeds, grapeseed oil, primrose oil, sesame oil and soybean oil.
