It often seems difficult to find the time to go for routine check-ups and in some cases; many don’t pay attention to health care until they feel something has gone wrong. With age, the chances of health problems increase as over time, the body takes on more stress. At around 50 years old, it is important to keep up with routine check-ups with your doctor to detect any irregularities in the body. For patients with a medical history including diabetes and high blood pressure among other things may begin more in-depth routine check-ups at a younger age. With a <a title="Cardiologist" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Cardiologist</a>, patients are able to receive an evaluation of heart health so proactive steps can be taken if needed. <a title="Los Angeles Cardiology" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Los Angeles Cardiology</a> is prestigious with many highly-qualified cardiologists and state-of-the-art facilities. With a <a title="Heart Scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Heart Scan</a>, cardiologists are able to detect any irregularities in the heart like abnormal heartbeats, clogged arteries, and any heart diseases that may exist. Heart scans should be made regularly to detect any irregularities or diseases sooner, rather than later. If a patient is experiencing any irregularities, a heart scan is also recommended by a doctor’s reference to a cardiologist. <br/><br/>
Aside from heart scans, a <a title="Full Body Scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Full Body Scan</a> is also available to detect irregularities and diseases in the body. Detecting early signs of diseases with a full body scan is a preventative method to treat any diseases and to treat irregularities accordingly. Other testing such as Stress Testing, may also evaluate heart health by testing heart performance and using methods for heart imaging. Patients who engage themselves prioritizing their health care may complete an 11-second scan that may save their lives. Planning a routine check-up for things such as full body scans; reap health benefits that can be valued in the long run as any detection of disease can be treated early. With the latest technology in cardiology, medicine, and state-of-the-art medical facilities, prioritizing health care is now easier than ever.</div>full Body scan - Heart disease symptomstag:codagroovesent.ning.com,2010-10-18:2948740:BlogPost:320532010-10-18T07:45:57.000ZDr.Mason Weisshttp://codagroovesent.ning.com/profile/DrMasonWeiss

Symptoms of heart disease in your blood vessels (cardiovascular disease) is caused by narrowed, blocked or stiffened blood vessels that make it so the heart, brain or other parts of the body don’t receive enough blood. Symptoms of cardiovascular disease can include:<br/>

The chances that one self or someone they love will suffer from a heart attack during their life time, and whether or not one survives the heart attach will be solely based on what he or she and the doctors does about the heart attack in the first few hours and then over the long term. The best way to prevent a heart attack is to avoid it. If one feels that they are experiencing symptoms of heart attack he or she should consult with their cardiologist who will then order a <a title="CT heart scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">CT heart scan</a> and if nothing is identified and the symptoms still persist then he may order a <a title="Full body scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Full body scan</a>. <br/><br/>
A myocardial infraction commonly known as a heart attack is the most severe form of acute coronary syndrome. <a title="Cardiologist " href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Cardiologist</a> say a heart attack is generally triggered by the rupture of a plaque within a coronary artery. The rupture causes a blood clot to form and this leads to blockage of the artery. The area of the heart muscle which is supplied blood by the blocked artery begins to die. It is the death of the heart muscle that defines the heart attack.<br/>
<br/>
The consequences of a heart attack depend on how much of the heart muscle dies, and which of the coronary arteries was blocked, and where in the artery did the blockage occur. Blockage near the origin of an artery will affect more heart muscle than a blockage farther down the artery. If the muscle damage is sever, he or she may develop acute heart failure during the heart attack, this is very dangerous. If the amount of heart muscle damage is less severe but still substantial one may develop heart failure later on. Therefore taking precautions to avoid heart failure after heart attack are imperative to treating a heart attack. Heart attacks also, produce hazardous heart arrhythmias. During the heart attack electrical instability may trigger ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. After this scare tissue results from the healing process may cause permanent electrical instability. Unfortunately this means sudden death from cardiac arrest is risk during heart attack and after heart attack recovery. However after heart attack recover cardiologist can run scans such as <a title="64 Slice CT scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">64 Slice CT scan</a> in order to ensure that one is out of danger although it may take time to get there.</div>Coronary heart diseasetag:codagroovesent.ning.com,2010-08-27:2948740:BlogPost:296032010-08-27T06:20:48.000ZDr.Mason Weisshttp://codagroovesent.ning.com/profile/DrMasonWeiss

Symptoms of coronary heart disease can often be very blunt, but other times can go unnoticed. These symptoms usually include:
<ul>
<li>Chest pain or discomfort- This pain normally occurs when the heart is not being supplied with enough oxygen or blood. Ones chest may feel heavy or like it is being pressed. The pain is generally felt beneath the breast bone but can be felt in the neck, arms, stomach, or upper back. The pain persists with activity or emotion but goes away with rest and some medications. Common symptoms are shortness of breath and fatigue with physical activity. If any of these symptoms arise be sure to see a <a title="cardiologist" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">cardiologist</a> to better identify the problem.</li>
</ul>
Leading <a title="Los Angeles cardiologist" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">Los Angeles cardiologist</a> may suggest that their patient take one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes and high or low cholesterol levels. These medication and instructions provided by the cardiologist should be followed closely in order to prevent the disease from worsening.<br />
<br />
The most common cause of coronary heart disease is called atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty material and plaque build up on the walls of ones arteries. This causes the thinning of the small blood vessels. Coronary hear disease is the leading cause of death of death in all United States for both men and women.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Increasing risk of heart disease</span><br />
<br />
Men in their forties have an increased risk of having coronary heart disease but as many women hit menopause their chances almost equal that of men in their forties. Coronary heart disease is hereditary. If someone in ones family has or had coronary heart disease before the age of fifty then ones chances of having the disease increase with age. Other common causes include Diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, smoking, chronic kidney disease, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise and excessive stressing.<br />
<br />
Coronary heart disease is often diagnosed with <a title="CT heart scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">CT heart scan</a>s however some cardiologist suggest that their patients have a <a title="full body scan" href="http://www.apexcardiology.com/">full body scan</a> in order to identify any problems in the body and be able to target them all with medications and treatments. The proper treatment for coronary heart disease can stop death in its tracks by preventing the disease from going any further; however the best medicine is always prevention, so be aware of symptoms and behavior that can lead to coronary heart disease.</div>
