Heart Disease &
Strokes:
| ● |
At epidemic levels throughout
the Western World
|
|
● |
Nearly 62 million Americans
have some form of cardiovascular disease
|
|
● |
The top killers in the U.S.;
responsible for nearly 1/2 of all U.S. deaths
|
|
● |
Dyslipidemia is associated with
atherosclerosis and death in heart disease and strokes
|
|
Other Factors in Heart Disease:
Elevated plasma lipoprotein (a) is similar to LDL but has
adhesive proteins. High Lp(a) creates a 10x greater risk of CHD
than elevated LDL!
Triglycerides are blood fats that can also increase risk and
must be reduced. Homocysteine is a metabolite that can
accumulate and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Homocysteine is a key factor in almost 2 out of 10 heart
attacks. Because atherosclerosis is now established to be an
inflammatory process, the measurement of systemic inflammation
in the body is an ideal risk factor. Elevated hsCRP and
fibrinogen are great risk factors for systemic inflammation and
cardiovascular disease.
Not All Blood Lipids Are Created Equal:
LDL Cholesterol can block arteries, while HDL Cholesterol can
actually clear fat from arterial wall and return it to the
liver.
A 10% increase in your HDL can decrease the risk of a heart
attack by 40%! |
CATCH THE RISKS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE EARLY:
●
Total cholesterol greater than 200 mg/dL
●
LDL-C over 130 mg/dL and HDL-C under 35 mg/dL
●
Risk Ratio of LDL to HDL is greater than 2.5 to 1
●
Lp(a)<20 mg/dl = low risk; 20-40 mg/dL = moderate risk; >40 mg/dL
= extremely high risk
●
Triglycerides: >150 mg/dL
●
Homocysteine: >15 umol/L = significant risk; 9-11 umol/L =
increased risk; <9 is ideal
●
hsCRP: >3 mg/L = significant risk; >1 mg/L = increased risk; <0.5
mg/L is ideal
●
Fibrinogen: <300 mg/dL is optimalCATCH |

PROTOCOLS FOR DYSLIPIDEMIA & CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: |
Help lower patients risk by
improving their diet & lifestyle:
|
| 1. |
Suggest a brisk walk
20 minutes each day.
|
| 2. |
Drastically reduce
saturated fats from their diet; fats primarily
found in animal products. Remove margarines,
partially hydrogenated oils or trans fatty acids
from their diet and have them use quality oils;
e.g. olive oil or canola oil.
|
| 3. |
Eat a diet rich in
protective phytonutrients from fruits,
vegetables and whole grains. Have your patients
go to www.whfoods.com for guidance on dietary
improvement.
|
| 4. |
Have patients stop or
at least reduce smoking and exposure to
secondhand smoke: Tobacco smoke contains 50
carcinogens that damage your arteries. Smoking
gives you 5 time's greater risk of heart
disease!
|
Help your patients reduce
their risk factors by providing a nutritional
support
program to manage and maintain optimum blood
lipid levels: |
