re: Update page 7 Widow Maker/Stemi Heart Attack

All the people in these situations should see if they are eligible to take Repatha. My cholesterol was 210 but my ldl was 110. And no meds or diet affected those numbers. If you’ve had a heart attack you gotta get your ldl below 90 or you’re just waiting for another stent. Repatha lowered my cholesterol to about 140 and , mor importantly lowered my ldl to the 40s. I don’t have to avoid any foods, but I’m not overweight

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Repatha I will definitely look into this and discuss it with my cardiologist.

I honestly believe a lot of that is hereditary

My dad was an ultra-marathoner. He had to have triple bypass at age 59 and had a heart attack at 62. Sometimes there ain't shite you can do other than keep tabs on it. The only reason he got checked out at 59 was because he was having difficulty running. Had he not been an active individual, he would have for sure died.

No problem. The OT is fraught with know it all arse holes. I upset one enough to snip some quotes from what I said and misrepresent them. I guess I am a total idiot even though I live with a condition I have researched for many many years.

There is a young doctor that just went on Joe Rogan to discuss heart issues. You should take the time to listen. I wonder if the idiot that tried to make fun of my comments realize what I was saying comes from top doctors in the field. Here is the JRE #1979 - Dr. Aseem Malhotra

Widow makers get skinny people too!

Those are the scariest. They stay skinny so they eat like shite and have bad genetics. They are the ones you see a cholesterol of 1200 on.

So OP I think you asked about diet. On the OT you are fricked. If we were all sitting in a bar talking a fight would have broke out by now. You have to do your own research. Here you will get answers from Vegan to Paleo to Atkins to Kill animals with your bare hands and eat them while the warmth is still draining from their body.

You know what you are eating that is absolute shite. My weakness is chips. All kinds of chips. A sandwich becomes an excuse to eat chips for me. Cheetos being my crack. I know it is garbage. You’ve got those items too. If it comes out of a clear plastic wrap it’s probably killing you. Lol

I think mixing all of the diets can be best. Just eat clean. Sometimes that’s plant based. Sometimes that’s healthy meat choices. And PORTIONS. The meat on your plate should not be as large as your face. Small to reasonable sized meat and a plate full of vegetables is the key IMO. Atkins to me is like hardcore vegan. It’s not sustainable. You need a dietary lifestyle change.

I always joke to eat like an Asian. They eat to give their bodies energy to live. Not to undo their belts or top pant buttons.

Ask your Dr or insurance about cardio rehab. Several years ago I had nearly total blockage in the Widowmaker and had single bypass surgery. The cardio rehab was really helpful in getting me moving again and knowing what exercises to do.

Yea, it’s your wife’s fault you stopped training and she waits on you hand and foot.

Listen, I’m glad you didn’t die because that would clearly be terrible. The bad news is in a few years, you’re going to be back in this same situation. Hope YOU make some changes as that is who it falls back on, not your amazing wife. That is just the truth, you don’t have to like it but you’re already making excuses.

similar experience back in 2016

I would research Dr Linus Pauling and Vit C for clearing arteries.

There is quite a few other supplements i take to support heart health and have recently begun a carnivore diet after researching and seeing what some cardiologist say about that approach.

The very worst thing,I think,is smoking.I spent 20 years taking care of bypass ,angioplasty and stent patients.
The vast majority were smokers or had a smoking history.I saw a good many go home and resume smoking and in 6 months to a year they would be back with their grafts or stents re-occluded.

There are some very interesting studies on the benefit of Vit K2 preventing Calcium deposition in arteries and is even believed to help remove calcium from deposits.Also claimed to help prevent kidney stones.
