Did I Miscarry

When people get sick they often ask “why me?’ What did I or didn’t I do to become ill? But this simplistic question belies the complexity of coronary artery disease. There are many risk factors which accelerate heart disease, some of which can be readily modified and some of which cannot.

These risk factors feed off each other, becoming more powerful when acting together than alone. For example, a diabetic who smokes will have a greatly accelerated rate of vascular disease compared with someone who only smokes or is only diabetic. This symbiotic relationship is important and uncoupling such partnerships can be the key to taking control of your health destiny.

The Unchangeable.

Increasing age

The majority of people who develop coronary artery disease are over 65 and this risk increases with age. Post-menopausal women have an increased risk of heart attack once the cardio-protective effect of oestrogen is removed.
