3D Medical Animation: Heart Attack from Atherosclerosis

    I had a heart attack when I was 13.. i’ll never forget.. felt like someone took a baseball bat and hit me in the chest.. jeeze.. I had a bad valve in there I can’t remember which one, but I also had undiagnosed type1 Diabetes and was in bad shape. your blood gets really thick and syrupy when your blood sugar is high. its really hard for the heart to pump that after a while!

    we can cut down on cholesterol and start taking oats. as well as antioxidants. that will sure help in cutting down the cholesterol level as well as other predisposing factors to atherosclerosis

    Yep, for some reason we humans are fatally flawed. Most members of the animal kingdom do not have this flaw. They may develop diseases of the heart muscle itself, but rarely (if ever) develop atherosclerosis. Oh, and by the way, if you have a strong genetic predisposition to this, start writing your will because there is little that can be done to prevent an event like this from happening. Have a nice day!
