Sometimes people look good, but their heart is far older than chronological age. How can this be?
Life example
For example, if a man smokes and has a systolic blood pressure higher than 140 50 years and body mass index - 30, the age of his heart will be approximately 72 years. Sounds serious, right? If such a man is only just a year to quit, his heart grow young for 14 years. If it will reduce the pressure currently to 120, the heart look younger for 6 years. If he will turn and stop smoking, and reduce the pressure, the heart grow young for 19 years. Impressive!
And that's really the focus. Here's how it happened.
All the matter in the risk
Most people die from heart disease and blood vessels. Some people are destined to have a heart attack or stroke. If you get to a cardiologist, he will evaluate your risk level of blood pressure, total cholesterol and smoking fact. To determine the risk there is a special table. This is the standard. So appoint a long time serious drug and repeated laboratory tests. But it's boring. Patients from the abundance of figures boils the brain, and they quickly lose interest in the evaluation and treatment. And then in 2008 we came up with the concept of the age of the heart. We can say that cardiologists reluctantly went to meet their patients.
We examined a large number of people aged 30 to 75 years old
Then special methods calculated the patterns of occurrence of heart disease and have received the formula for calculating heart age. The upper limit of the age established in 100 years.
People interviewed about heart attacks, strokes, diabetes pills on the pressure, obesity and smoking. Moreover, blood pressure is not measured itself. Interview people was very simple, and additional information was considered due to the complex mathematics. Nothing was measured and nothing is checked. Just took a chance and counted.
It turned out not very accurate, but the idea of a decrepit old people heart liked
At some emotional level the story gave the desired response. No laboratory or instrumental studies do, but guess what will happen to people. It somehow bribed.
More importantly, that the simplest activities without any medications and tests could dramatically rejuvenate the heart. People excitedly clutching their calculations and assessing their capabilities. You could change the way of life, and in a year to return your heart to life.
The best thing is to wade young people. If your heart is called the old, it makes us think in 40 years. Just preventive measures are most effective for young people. In my opinion, it was just a stroke of genius.
Ask your cardiologist. He was happy to talk about this rejuvenation.
