The Season for Heart Attack Deaths Just Around the Corner
Mercola.com
December is the most deadly season for people with heart disease; those who have heart attacks in December are more likely to die from it than during any other month.
Not a Matter of External Factors
Some have attributed this to holiday understaffing, cold weather, or uneven care, but a new study looking at data from almost 130,000 people shows the danger to still be greater even when these factors are taken into account.
Even when treatment was the same, almost 22 percent of those admitted to the hospitals in December died, compared with 20 percent in other months.
Take Precautions
Researchers encouraged physicians to tell their patients not to delay seeking medical attention for symptoms, to maintain adequate supplies of medicine, and to avoid overindulgence of salt, fatty foods and alcohol, as well as to avoid exposure to extreme cold or particulate pollutants such as those created by wood-burning fireplaces.
Dr. Grisanti's Comments:
High blood pressure (HBP) is at an all time high. There are over 68 million Americans with HBP. Considering the guidelines have changed, there are many people who are walking around not knowing they are at an increased risk of having a fatal heart attack.
I am just about finished writing a comprehensive special report on lowering blood pressure. You WILL NOT find any of this information on NET. My research includes many clinical studies drug companies hope you don't find. Most clinical studies are written by doctors funded by the drug companies and simply neglect to tell the "whole" truth.
I am astounded with the wealth of information written and documented in the medical literature on the "real" causes of high blood pressure.
This report will be a real eye-opener and can very well save your life.
The report is going to be sold for only $17.95 for non-members and will be free for members.
If you want to discover the underlying causes of high blood pressure, then I strongly recommend you place your order by going to:
