Everyone is at risk from lead-induced heart damage, not just those working with lead. Halogens, such as chlorine and fluoride, also trigger abnormal heart rhythms. In one study, two children accidentally exposed to cleaning fluid containing fluoride had potentially fatal arrhythmias. If you consider that fluoride is a well-known cardiac poison, this is hardly surprising. The simple action of drinking chlorinated drinking water during pregnancy is also known to increase the risk for congenital heart defects in the unborn baby.

This disorder can result in permanent heart damage. • Fibrillation. An irregular heartbeat characterized by a rapid twitching or vibrating of heart muscle rather than slow, steady beats. Atrial fibrillation can be episodic or chronic, even constant. Symptoms may include dizziness, light-headedness, and general weakness. Atrial fibrillation can cause blood to pool in the heart and subsequently shed clots, causing ischemic stroke. Ventricular fibrillation is a medical emergency that can lead rapidly to loss of consciousness and death. It most often is a complication of heart attack.
Prevents heart damage by improving oxygenation of cells. Essential fatty acids (Kyolic-EPA from Wakunaga, salmon oil, flaxseed oil, or primrose oil) As directed on label. Take with meals. Needed for proper brain and cardiovascular function. Free-form amino acid complex As directed on label. To provide needed protein and bolster the immune system. Garlic (Kyolic from Wakunaga) As directed on label. Natural antibiotic that helps the body to eliminate toxins and strengthens the cardiovascular system. Kelp As directed on label. To supply minerals helpful in establishing thyroid balance.
Antibiotics may be necessary to combat the underlying Streptococcus infection and help prevent permanent heart damage. Do not take the acidophilus at the same time as the antibiotics, however, or the antibiotics will kill the friendly bacteria. Q Do not give aspirin to a child with a fever. Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen instead. Q If you (or your child) are experiencing symptoms of strep throat, see a physician to be tested and, if appropriate, treated.

Longer term heart damage can be caused from a higher background level of chemically triggered increases in factors predisposing to heart disease, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. It did not take much research to discover that many chemicals appear to possess a powerful ability to damage the heart. It is not only people who work with chemicals who have toxicity levels high enough to cause damage: many of these substances are now so widespread that they are already present in the population in levels large enough to cause significant damage to the heart.

It follows that someone suffering from a dual infection will experience symptoms much worse than those infected with only one organism, including severe muscle pains, arthritis, heart damage, intense weakness, night sweats, and neurological disorders. Babesia can result in severe shortness of breath as well. Both babesia and Lyme organisms can damage the heart. Because at least two of these diseases can infect the nervous systems, special precautions must be taken when treating them.
The study was based on the observation in the 1930s that in certain regions of China a particular form of heart damage (referred to as Keshan cardiomyopathy) occurred in a significant number of people living in certain provinces. The disorder was characterized by progressive heart muscle failure with gross enlargement of the heart and abnormal rhythms of the heart beat. When the heart was examined at autopsy, it was found to have large areas of destruction of the muscle. This disorder is the most common one leading to heart transplantation in the United States.

Carbon Tetrachloride A clear, colorless narcotic anesthetic liquid (in minute dose) like chloroform, not flammable.
Disease A nickel-carbonyl air-bome vims of irreversible respiratory infection, heart damage, collapse, or death; alleged to have been formulated for air-bome transmission by "mad" scientists at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia; possibly derived from a sheep visna virus and a cow leukemia. Related to Lassa, Ebola and Marburg fevers. Mystery Viruses Queensland, Australia in September 1995; a mystery virus of severe respiratory illness killed 14 out of 21 infected horses, then killed a horse trainer.

In animals it causes hemorrhage from muscle tears, heart damage, testes tumors, and changes in genes and reproductive cells. Formaldehyde, cancer-causing benzene, and mold toxins form because of irradiation. Irradiation is being done to most of our food supply. This is why you must be eating 100 percent organic food. The multinational corporations are not interested in your health, but are only interested in their profits, and from my inside information I personally know that the food industry is purposely making us sick so that it can profit from the sale of drugs.

Cases have been reported of people with bulimia who abused ipecac by taking it frequently to induce vomiting and developed severe muscle damage or heart damage, and, in some cases, died.10' 11 Since emetine is removed from the body slowly, the amounts can build up with repeated use and cause damage later. Ipecac should not be used during pregnancy (page 363) or breast-feeding.

Common manifestations include fever, weight loss, arthritis, hives, light sensitivity, nervous-system problems, and in some patients, heart damage. Although the disease can come and go unpredictably, some individuals suffer progressive and eventually fatal complications, often from kidney failure. Conventional treatment includes prednisone (a drug similar to cortisone) and other powerful drugs that suppress the immune system. These medications may reduce the damage from lupus, but they do not cure the disease or even adequately control it for many patients.

In a similarway, the person who suffers from permanent, physical heart damage will not automatically start rebuilding a new heart by switching to a heart-healthy diet. However, it may be some comfort to know that many so-called "physical" malfunctions of the heart are actually not permanent physical deformities and have been shown to be reversible through dietary changes such as eliminating refined carbohydrates from your diet and supplementing with full-spectrum B vitamins.

Adriamycin depletes CoQIO levels in the heart muscle, which can lead to heart damage (this is a serious side effect of this drug). When CoQIO is administered in conjunction with this drug, heart damage does not occur. CoQIO is a vital constituent of the mitochondrial electron transport function. Most healthy young individuals produce adequate quantities of CoQIO to meet their bodies' needs.

We need studies to determine if birth defects, cancer, heart damage or other health problems in humans might be related, for example, to cyclobutanones. Until more is known about the effects of irradiated foods on humans, the government should definitely delay their approval. At the present time it is anticipated that eventually up to 37% of the American diet will be altered by this method.27b It was reported in May 2003 that 28 million children will eat irradiated beef in their school lunch program in 2004.

There ate more promising results for the use of CoQjn to protect against heart damage related to chemotherapy. Many chemotherapy drugs can cause damage to the heart (UTH 1998; ACS 2000; Dog et al. 2001), and initial animal studies found that CoQin could reduce the adverse cardiac effects of these drugs (Folkers et al. 1996; Combs et al. 1977; Choe et al. 1979; Lubawy et al. 1980; Usui et al. 1982; Shinozawa etal. 1993). CAUTION Some studies indicate that CoQiq should not be taken at the same time as chemotherapy.

Although asymptomatic, severe heart damage may result. Unlike an angina attack, which is usually prompted by physical exertion, more than three-fourths of silent ischemic attacks are caused by mental arousal. There is also a definite link between the hardening of the carotid artery and higher levels of stress (Barnett 1997). A recent study of 2800 men and women over 55 years of age showed that even minor depression can increase cardiac mortality 60%, while major depression may actually triple the rate of cardiac-related deaths (Pennix et al. 2001).

On the other hand, rheumatic fever can lead to permanent heart damage to one or more of the valves of the heart. Rheumatic fever has become quite rare, but still it is important to take it seriously. Rheumatic fever can be prevented if all the strep germs are killed within the first ten to twelve days of the infection. Often, the body's own defenses have eradicated the strep within that time.

Current information indicates that aspirin can also reduce the level of heart damage during a heart attack. When taking aspirin because one believes they are experiencing an acute heart attack, the aspirin should be chewed rather than swallowed and is best taken within 30 minutes of the onset of symptoms. In conclusion, the Antithrombotic Trialists' Collaboration (representing a review of 287 studies involving 135,000 patients) announced that over 40,000 lives are lost worldwide every year because aspirin is underused.

When these pipes are clogged, heart damage results. The heart itself is just an innocent bystander. Most likely, the same process that clogs the pipes leading to and from the heart is simultaneously clogging all the other pipes—the ones that go to the brain, to the arms and legs, to the kidneys, and so on. So performing bypass surgery on the heart is simply a makeshift remedy—the patient is simply getting new pipes, which will soon be clogged again.

Anne Trontell, one such supervisor, called the studies showing heart damage from Vioxx, "nothing more than a scientific rumor." That's how the FDA and people in the medical community shut down critics: they just declare anything they don't like to be "unscientific." The FDA censors its own scientists Another FDA researcher, Dr. Andrew Mosholder, was censored and not allowed to testify in February, 2004 about his study that found antidepressants increase the risk of suicides in children.

The Specific Concerns About Rezulin Effects on the Heart In spite of the treatment of Gueriguian and his evaluation, the FDA was concerned about the potential risk of heart damage with the use of Rezulin. Gueriguian's reports revealed that initial animal studies conducted on three different species showed all three developed enlarged, gray hearts in reaction to the drug.7 This was the first time Gueriguian ever recalled all species of animals demonstrating an adverse effect.

Even in patients who had no detectable heart damage from a previous attack, elevated BNP levels identified individuals at high risk of dying or developing life-threatening cardiac complications (de Lemos et al. 2001). Angiograms An angiogram, referred to as cardiac catheterization, is a mechanism in which coronary arteries are lumi-nated by injections of dye, a process that aids in diagnosing blocked arteries. A catheter is introduced through an incision into a large vein, usually of an arm or a leg, and threaded through the circulatory system to the heart.
Creatine kinase (CK), a small fraction of the CK enzyme (CK-MB), and troponins are heart damage markers or cardiac enzymes measurable in the blood. CK-MB shows an increase above normal about 6 hours after the onset of a heart attack. It typically reaches its peak level within 9-30 hours and usually returns to normal within 48-72 hours (Cardiac Biomarkers 2000). Blood tests to measure troponins, specifically T (cTnT) and troponin I (cTnl)—cardiac muscle proteins—have been developed.

In the case of Rezulin, Warner-Lambert was to do a clinical trial in patients with heart problems to be sure that Rezulin did not cause further heart damage. However, this study was never completed. Over the years, as a physician, I have seen a pattern when it comes to statements made by pharmaceutical companies regarding reports to the FDA about potential serious problems with their drugs. Since the FDA has a voluntary reporting system, companies will first state that it was not the drug that actually caused complications but rather an underlying disease process that the patient already had.
