    My dad died after multiple complications of a heart transplant last year. He told us all before hand to take care of our hearts and to stay healthy. Sometimes you seem perfectly healthy until the one day you aren't and it's just too late💔.
  • I live by the philosophy, “Im preparing my body for 80 year old me, when i will be most defenceless.” I try to do all i can to help 65-90 year old me. Health care, savings, etc. So far im not doing as great as I want but old me is definetely gonna thank young me ❤
  • My uncle had three heart attacks in his fourties and he was a farmer lifting bails of hay all day feeding the cow made him really strong so this shock everyone. He changed his diet and is in his upper seventies healthy. Super crazy how you can turn things around.
  • @alicassidy8913
    I was released from the hospital last Thursday. I had 6 stents put in. I'm sending this video to my daughter.

    I am 69 years old, I had a heart attack last April. I have been active all my life , played soccer regularly for more than forty years, years of martial arts practice and years of competitive swimming, make it short, in a regular and daily swimming about 2 months before heart attacks I felt pain almost everyday in the middle of 50 minutes routine daily swimming but didn’t pay attention because a month prior to this I had a stress treadmill test and I was told that my heart is just fine with no problems, and was told come back in three years. But one day after swimming 2000 meters with no problems when driving back home I had a heart attack I was lucky to survive and the doctor who did angiogram told me that one of main artery of heart had 99% blockage.
  • @skydrow8255
    I feel like something not emphasized in the 4 causes is general stress. Stress can cause all sorts of inflammation in the body, and when chronically stressed will cause the same inflammation in your vessels
  • My dad just had a triple bypass on 1-25-24 and on 1-26-24 he was awake from the surgery he is doing amazing it is the best birthday present a daughter can ask for! I also watched. Bypass being done on a young man on youtube, and man, was that amazing! Thankyou agien for another great educational video!
  • @lalaland962
    Thanks for mentioning that lifestyle changes may not be enough. I lost 100+ lbs and quit smoking, and I still need two medications to keep my blood pressure acceptable. The hypertension seems to be a family thing -- my mom had it, as did my brother and all my sisters.
  • @nont18411
    Worst kind of heart disease is a heartbreak. Happens every time I told each of my crush I had feelings for them.
  • @Maggies87
    Unwillingness to go to get physicals after age 40 resulted in my husband’s death from heart failure (due to stenosed valve and not telling anyone about shortness of breath). Nothing could be done because of simultaneous DX of stage 4 metastatic carcinoma. I am picking up the pieces and miss him so munch. Do what it takes to get your loved ones to preventive care — I gave up on pushing but I should have enlisted his brother to help make him go to appointments instead of being a no-show.
  • @farismujcic4464
    I have cardiophobia and fear of heart attacks so this video was quite informative considering im trying to not stress about my Heart health too much
  • The information here is correct. It's a well done video and even helps a person with high hypercholesterolemia like me. My doctors identified that I was prone to high cholesterol because my Dad died at 40 from a heart attack linked to it decades ago. But I thought I could manage the high cholesterol with diet and exercise. Despite really decent effort, that failed and I was able to avoid a heart attack, but still need a very-multiple bypass surgery (open heart surgery) at age 46. Yes folks, it starts much, much earlier than you think. And if you are identified at an early age with the condition, I strongly recommend you consider medications. You may try to lower your cholesterol with diet and exercise alone, but you might wind up like me.
  • @beckytaylor6885
    I know multiple people who avoided heart attacks because they regularly worked out and that alerted them earlier that something was wrong.
  • @andreabenz8456
    Last year July 14 2023 was airlifted for a massive heart attack 5 days later had congested heart failure then 2 weeks suffered another heart attack was in a coma for 10 days. It was scary and in a few days March 12th 2024 getting an ICD put in for my heart squeeze is at 23%. Thank you for these videos
  • Question... What is the effect of anxiety/panic attacks on the heart? Does it puts stress on it? Can it facilitate a cardiac problem?
  • @djelliott4524

  • @georgegarcia566
    Love that the video provides the tools to improve one’s health!
  • @rach1972
    My husband has left branch bundle block & coronary artery disease. He had a heart attack 4 years ago at 48. A 99% blockage was discovered too and he had a stent fitted. He was a heavy smoker. He is doing ok but he is on a lot of medication to manage it.
  • @itstaopike
    This is infomative and fortunately found it's way to being useful for my physical health plan. Thank you
