Cardiovascular disease is a medical condition that affects the cardiovascular system, including the heart, and blood vessels(arteries and veins).
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition of narrowing coronary arteries that lead to blockage of the blood flow in the arteries caused by a hardening arterial wall, cholesterol building up in the arteries, chemicals, such as cadmium clogging up arteries, etc. affecting the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.
Acute coronary syndrome is a medical emergency caused by suddenly reduced blood flow to the heart, leading to heart muscle damage and brain apoptosis, depending on the affected location.
Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.
Arteries formed a part of blood vessels and the circulatory system with the function to deliver oxygen and nutrients to heart muscles.
According to the statistics, approximately 1 of every 13 Americans aged 18 years and older are living with coronary artery disease. CHD is a leading cause of death in the ethnic group in the US, particularly in Hispanic Americans.
Believe it or not, CHD is predicted by scientists to become the most common cause of death worldwide by 2020.
Although CHD is a lowly progressive disease, the disease may become clinically apparent by age 40. People 65 years of age and older have been found in most patients with CHD.
Depending on the severity of the blockage, a complete blockage is life-threatening. Symptoms of coronary artery disease, chest pain or discomfort, pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the jaw, neck, back, or stomach, shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of heart disease researchers examined the relationships between biomarkers of omega-3 fatty acids and risk for coronary heart disease (CHD).
,
According to the results of the study of the data10 of the cohorts,
* The overall mean (SD) for the Omega-3 Index in these 10 cohort studies was 6.1% (2.1%), and
* The HR for a 1-SD increase was 0.85 (95% confidence interval, 0.80-0.91).
* The median quintiles 1 and 5 levels were 4.2% vs. 8.3%, respectively.
* Based on these values, we estimate that the risk for fatal CHD would have been reduced by about 30% moving from an Omega-3 Index of 4%-8%.
Moreover, researchers said, "These findings support the use of <4% and >8% as reasonable therapeutic targets for the Omega-3 Index".
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of fatal coronary disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
