Sometimes, in a funeral, I heard that from, "... I was too old, died of old age." Nobody really dies of old age, not of sadness or loneliness. We all die for any specific cause can usually be seen in the "death certificate " with a curt: "Stop death cardiorespiratory fitness. " Indeed, eventually the heart stops us, the question is why the heart has stopped, and especially if we could have delayed a few years.
often the heart stops working because of lack of oxygen due to the presence of atheroma or necrotic plaque that blocks blood flow. In this they have to do some genetic and circumstantial causes that from the clinical point of view has recently come to associate with the so-called " metabolic syndrome, a combination of hypertension, obesity and cholesterol that increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The importance of this syndrome is derived from its alarming increase in the population. We are facing a new "epidemic" due to being overweight and sedentary lifestyle that we must fight.
these atheroma formation is due to the uptake of excess cholesterol-laden macrophages in the inner cell layer that surrounds the blood vessels and may initiate a degenerative process that ends up narrowing the arterial lumen. Recently it was discovered that the formation of atheroma is increased by inflammatory factors, some resulting from smoking. When an artery is blocked by the formation of a thrombus can occur in a myocardial infarction or stroke. Recent advances on the knowledge of this silent disease may also allow treatment, the ability to assess risk and take precautions. An excess total cholesterol above 240mg/dl should alert us. Obesity also can also promote the emergence of type II diabetes is associated with dysregulation of glucose values \u200b\u200bover 110 mg / dL, which further increases the cardiovascular risk . The combination of these risk factors is a significant increase in likelihood of suffering a heart attack . One lives under the age of their bones, but usually die by age of your arteries.
