An accumulation of cholesterol risk
Epidemiological studies have shown that high cholesterol and lack of good cholesterol were risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol is one of the causative agents of atherosclerosis leading to cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol, it is needed: it is a component of cell walls; it contributes to the production of hormones. But it is not too much. When you have too much LDL cholesterol is deposited on the walls of arteries, including coronary, and fouls. Over the years, the diameter of these narrows, blood circulates more and more evil and clots are formed more easily. If one day, a clot is “stuck” in an artery of the heart and mouth, then the stroke.
Depending on your LDL and HDL following risks to your health may exist:
Infarction (heart attack) associated with atherosclerosis (obstruction by a mechanism of oxidation of the arteries).
Stroke (stroke) related to atherosclerosis.
Problems with clotting
Chest Pain
When a chest pain manifests as severe, crushing or pressure that lasts more than a few minutes or if the pain moves around his neck, left shoulder, arm or jaw.
The chest pain is one of the most frightening symptoms a person may have, it is sometimes difficult even for a physician or other medical professional know what is causing this pain and if it is a threat to life, which is due to consider:
- Any part of the chest can cause pain, including the heart, lungs, esophagus, muscle, bone and skin.
- Due to the complex distribution of nerves in the body, chest pain may be from another body part.
- The stomach or other organs in the belly (abdomen), for example, can cause chest pain.
