Thousands of heart attack victims every year have none of the
notorious risk factors before their crisis - not high cholesterol, not
unhealthy triglycerides. Now the search for the mystery culprits has
turned up some surprising suspects: the trillions of bacteria and other
microbes living in the human gut.
In a study released on Wednesday, scientists discovered that some of
the bugs turn lecithin - a nutrient in egg yolks, liver, beef, pork and
wheat germ - into an artery-clogging compound called TMAO(trimethylamine-N-oxide). They also
found that blood levels of TMAO predict heart attack, stroke or death,
and do so "independent of other risk factors," said Dr Stanley Hazen,
chairman of cellular and molecular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic's
Lerner Research Institute, who led the study.
That suggests a TMAO test could enter the arsenal of blood tests that
signal possible cardiovascular problems ahead. "TMAO might identify
people who are at risk (for heart attacks and strokes) despite having no
other risk factors," Hazen said.
The discovery also suggests a new approach to preventing these
cardiovascular events: altering gut bacteria so they churn out less
TMAO.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,112 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
