2 Comments »

Perhaps you often hear stories about people who are young but have a heart attack. Then you wonder, “What happen with  me?”

In most cases, heart attack rather than rations for those who are young. But no matter how small the possibility of a heart attack, does not mean you should ignore it. Will experience a heart attack or not, in many ways determine your own.  According to experts, there are three ways a simple test to predict our chances of having a heart attack. Your doctor may perform a complex series of tests to determine the condition of your heart health.

But there are three simple ways you can do yourself at home :

1. Test bed
Answer these questions: Are you often sleepy during the day? If yes, then your risk of getting heart disease. Study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association says, enough sleep time to reduce the risk of heart disease by 33 percent.

When you lack sleep, your body releases stress hormones that can cause blood vessels to shrink and cause inflammation. If you are often sleepy and tired during the day, could be the quality and quantity of your sleep time is less good.

2. Tests of vitamin D
Low levels of vitamin D could increase the risk of high blood diseases and inflammation in blood vessels. Levels of vitamin D in adults is about 30-40 ng / ml. Fortunately, because they live in countries rich in tropical sun, the risk of vitamin D deficiency for Indonesia not so great.

3. Test finger
Tues lining the blood vessels to close, including the index finger, we consist of a single layer called endothelial function produces a chemical that affects the function of blood vessels, such as to dilate, contract, shrink, and so on. Changes in endothelial visible even years before signs of heart problems appears.

Therefore, experts believe the condition of the prime endothelial benchmarks could be heart disease and stroke. To test this, you can test the temperature of the index finger using the detector temperature and blood pressure measured by cuff strapped to the arm.  When cuff pump, blood flow to the hands of the temperature will decrease and the index finger down. After five minutes, the cuff stretched and blood flow returned to normal. The faster the temperature rises the index finger, the more healthy endothelial.

When the results of these tests showed the three you run the risk of heart attack, consult with your doctor. In addition, you also can try to change or control this risk by maintaining blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and avoid smoking.
