The people of Old Generation did not bother more about heart.Perhaps that was the reason they lived long years to the extent of Ninety+.Keeping the heart alone without bothering about it's function relating to the body allowed them to live without any Tension or Pressure.They were happy so long as they could meet their both end's meet without much of a proble,Nonexistence of Tension & Pressure helped them maintain Good healthy Heart. Gradually the the generation started changing. People started ably making Money,independent Houses,Independent Property and about luxuries of Life. They also thought about affording more expenses to afford more luxurios life . Exploring various possibilities of making more Moneyk& acquiring Power entered first into the head of People. So they started finding ways & means to gather more money & more Power. Time did not wait for them.to treat this kind of Ailments Doctors & Medical oOrganisation started exploring & exploiting the Body constitution of Human beings.day by day Medical science progressed & many new inventions about the various parts of Body were subjected to detailed study& medical institutes & colleges came into existence. Collaborations from scientists in medical sciences & researches using their indigenous resources revealed a lot of scope for Medical sciences.Many Hospitals with the imported Machinery from all over the world were explored & started finding results. These kind of researches all over the world revealed about the Problems of heart & their causes. Researches were conducted on various animals from rat to monkey & on Human dead bodies.these researches revealed more & more facts of defects of Heart & remedies for them.These were discovered & proved beyond doubt after a lot of researches & experiments. Thus the cocept of Hear Attack & it's fatal nature were established. Then started experiments for remedies & medicines including Surgeries for immediate relief. Thus the major method of Bypass surgery came into existence.This became common as soon as the people undergone Bypass Surgery started living more years as compared to people who did not bother about surgery to the Heart However, bypass surgery was not within the reach of common man as they needed a lot of money Now let us discuss about the causes which contribute adversely towards occurrence of Heart Attack among Human Beings 1) High Blood Pressure& presence of Cholestrol in Blood & urine 2)smoking ,a general Habit found in people of Keral 3)diabetes(Type1&Type2 4)tension to raise money for Surgery 5)pressure due to thinking how to raise money by Cheating near& dearer fellow beings 6)lack of Excersises& selecting places to do it 7)individual causes a Cardiac specialist alone can find by examining a Patient Let us now discuss pros& cons of the above 6 causes: Causes1&2 ,though would appear to be Dangerous there is nothing to worry much about them.there are ways & means to control these by medicines & habits to the level of avoiding an attack.there are old 70+ people who has pressure & are smoking who do not get attacks as they might fear.the reasons are obvious.If they take Medicines regularly according the advice of Doctors the BP of high& low nature cold be controlled to a very large extent without causing reasons for immediate or Frequent Attacks.Always remember the Doctor is the Best person to take advices& to repect & love him from the bottom of your Heart.the smoking if on controlled measure may not result in Heart attack . But chain Smokers have no hope irrespective of age.there are even Heart Surgeons who smoke occasionally let us say to the extent of 3 to 4 Cigerettes per day even in hospitals where smoking places are allowed.But PassivSmoking is dangerous to the fellow beings who do not smoke.So smoking should be restricted to places selected where the threat do not exist.and of course the limit of Cigerettes & their quality involving tobacco & Necotine contents is very Important Cause no3) regarding Diabetes: While Type 1 Diabetes is causing problems Type 2 is not Dangerous.Diabetes is a Phenomenon where Excess sugar is present in Blood& Urine In Type 1&2 it is always adviseable to consult expert Diabetes Doctors in various Hospitals all over India In the God's Own Country,the Best generally known hospitals for expert Diabetic Specialists are 1)the Amrita institute at Edappally,Kochi,Shree Chitra Institute at Triivandrum,The Amala Hospital in THRISSUR & many hospitals managed by Christian Missionaries & Organisations. But never go to a Hospital where Doctors are known to be of the nature who do not believe in God all such concepts of Super Powers. Such doctors are Dangerous.They could be always thinking about extracting easy money from Rich& poor invariably while even doing a Surgery.there is no guarantee that you will come back home after a surgery from such Doctors.there are Famous Heart Surgeons all over India who visit a Temple,Church or Mosuque before they get themselves ready to conduct a Surgery. Perhaps,this gives them confidence in themselves to carry out their work successfully! Any how let us come back to other causes Causes 4&5 above: These causes can be avoided easily by managing the minds of people themselves .For this no need to take advicvice from a Doctor.Forget this kind of thoughts believe in God & in self confidence.Try practicing noble deeds alone. for developing these habits,visiting AOL centers & taking their advices could help a lot. Cause6&7:these are most important aspects relating to Heart attacks.Exercises every day is of Paramount Importance to any one who wish to avoid the probability of getting attacks.Excursuses should be done regulary except on days when you are in a Flight or in a Train.Before trying Excersises it is advice able to take Excersises prescribed by AOL.there are many such organizations all over India. After such Excersises including Breathing Excersises go for brisk walks in open spaces e fresh air in plenty would be available.In Kerala Cities such places are not available in Plenty as the Builders all over the state have purchased & occupied even paddy fields to build concrete buildings especially in cities like TVM,EKM,TCR,CALICUT& PALGHAT,KANUR and many More.this was possible for the Builders to carry out easily because every Government ruled the state & their Party leaders& Officials had link with builders who helped them to make their Pockets richer within a matter of 5 years!! So select ,preferably,open Maidans in Cities where there is no restrictions to enter or Roads with footpath whereever available to have Brisk walks over a minimum of 45 minutes a day.the latest equipments like Tread Mill are not advice able.this helps only the commercial Establishments who sell them. But at the same time to test the Power of your heart they are very useful.So if affordable it is ver good to have them at home in handy so that one could easily make out about the condition of Heart easily.In Nations like USA where there are plenty of open Spaces available due to less population are good for regular Excersises.In India though there are Laws restricting Population like Family planning there are several families where the prescribed numbers of children are not controlled & in excess.the reasons for this is Obvious & needs no explanation.People should have mind to think about their Nation & Fellow beings without restricting their life to pleasure, Luxury& selfish Enjoyments.But these do not seem to be easy in a country like Bharat(Hindustan),these matters are good to write but not to put into,praciice as people believe in preaching but not in practising Now let us think about the treatments especially Surgery methods available in the World today 1)Why a surgery is needed to treat Heart attack? The reason for the Phenomenon are obvious .this is necessitated because of blocking of Blood in the artery/valvespassages(Valves)to the Heart.Unless and until these Blocks are removed forthwith a patient might die.there are methods to remove blocks with the help of medicines also to remove Blocks in cases of not of Serious nature. But people especially those who can afford to spend lavishly to avoid risk generally prefer surgery which naturally is the best option. There are 2 types of Surgeries available today, 1)By PASS SURGERY&2)ANGIOPLAST SURGERY By PASS SURGERY:This is the method of Surgery employed all over the World for several years!.under this method the Heart is opened to rmove blood cot from the Valves.in other words it is called Open Heart Surgery.in developed Nations like USA,BRITAIN,GERMANY,FRANCE,CHINA&any more expert Doctors& latestEquipments are available to carry out surgery successfully.In India also there are Many Hospitals with Expert Doctors& latest Equipments also are available.this Surgery is ,however,dangerous involving more risk.In GOD'S Own Country,Shrre Chitra Institute oof Science& Technology at TVM&Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences& College are the most famous hospitals available at reasonable Costs. There are many more in Kerala where the main Creteria is to extract more money from the Patients,a habit taught by the Government,Paty Leaders & Officials ruled in turn every 5 years! In case one takes these surgeries at the 2 Hospitals mentioned above they could be sure of returning home healthy after the surgery. 2)ANGIOPLASTY: This method of surgery is the latest one employed in Developed & underdeveloped countries equally well. The function of this new surgery method is also to remove blocks from artery/valves During a Balloon Angioplastya long thin Tubecalled CATHETER is inserted through an Artery in your Groin or forearm and thin wire known as Guidewire is used to guide the Cather into the various Arteries of the Heart.the Catheter has a smallBalloon at it's Tip that would be inflated to push the fatty plaque blocking the Artery back against the Artery wall.The Balloon Angioplasty is nearly always combined with stent placement when a tiny wire mesh tube is inserted into Artery to prop it open. This is very safe as compared to By Pass Surgery& more economical.Almost all Heart hospitals in India have Expert Doctors& Equipments to carry out this Surgery successfully.the 2 Institutes mentioned above are the Best where a patient is safer & sure to return home in better Health conditions. The main advantage in this Methodis the lesser number of Days to be spent in Hospital ,lesser duration of follow up period with medicines& above all comfort& convenience for Patients. So wish every heart patient all the Best & to continue with regular Excersises to continue with the Heart comfortably.All the Best.For more detailed knowledge kindly don't refrain from Consulting Expert Heart surgeons of your choice.An Apple A day keeps the Doctor away in case of Heart also if the Apple is combined with regular Excersises!!
