2. A new national study 136,905 patients hospitalized for a heart attack 75
percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had cholesterol levels
that would indicate they were not at high risk for a cardiovascular event…
•patients had low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels that met
current guidelines
•close to half had LDL levels classified in guidelines as optimal (less than
100 mg/dL).
"Almost 75 percent of heart attack patients fell within recommended
targets for LDL cholesterol, demonstrating that the current guidelines
may not be low enough to cut heart attack risk in most who could
benefit,"
said Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, Eliot Corday Professor of Cardiovascular
Medicine and Science at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
and the study's principal investigator.
Fonarow has conducted research for GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer and serves a
consultant and has received honorarium from Abbott, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline,
Merck, Pfizer and Schering Plough companies
75% of all heart attack patients had
normal to low Cholesterol levels

But both groups showed the same rates of death, heart

Patients were grouped by the amount of cholesterol

Some patient had no reduction in LDL levels, some had a
moderate fall in LDL and some had very large LDL
reductions.
The results: no correlation between the amount of LDL
lowering and death rate at five years.
LDL lower than 80 had a death rate of just over 3.5 at

LDL was over 200 had a death rate of just over 3.5 at

that proved to be ineffective should be eliminated as a
treatment option.

29. What is low blood pressure (Nyuna Raktachap)
If the pressure of the blood being pumped by the heart into the
arteries falls below the average 140 (systolic) and 80
(diastolic), there may be increase in the pulse rate, cold sweats,
and a feeling of extreme weakness.
….if it falls below the minimum necessary for
sound health, it should cause worry. The first
requirement is to ascertain the cause of the
malady.
Low Blood Pressure =Nyuna Raktachap
30. •Every day process about 200
quarts of blood to sift out about 2
quarts of waste products
•erythropoietin, or EPO, which
stimulates the bone marrow to
make red blood cells
•renin, which regulates blood
pressure
•calcitriol, the active form of
vitamin D, which helps maintain
calcium for bones
•Regulates chemicals like
sodium, phosphorus, and
potassium
About 15 percent of the people on
dialysis today are there as a result of
the damage that Tylenol and/or
aspirin did to their kidneys.
31. the blood output of the heart is artificially reduced, causing less
oxygen to reach the body’s cells and tissues.
The result will be normal blood pressure cuff readings
The body still needs all that blood it needed before taking the
drugs,
The body is now being forced to go through life with less oxygen than it needs, and
organs slowly start wearing out. Premature aging.

45. Dr. Beatrice Golomb of San Diego, found that 98 percent of patients taking
Lipitor and one-third of the patients taking Mevachor (a lower-dose statin)
suffered from muscle problems.
Polyneuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is characterized by
weakness, tingling and pain in the hands and feet as well as difficulty
walking. Researchers who studied 500,000 residents of Denmark, about 9
percent of that country's population, found that people who took statins
were more likely to develop polyneuropathy.
Taking statins for one year raised the risk of nerve damage by about 15
percent. For those who took statins for two or more years, the additional risk
rose to 26 percent.
46. We are currently in the midst of a congestive heart failure epidemic in the
United States- Deaths attributed to heart failure more than doubled from
1989 to 1997.(Statins were first given pre-market approval in 1987.)
Interference with production of Co-Q10 by statin drugs is the most likely
explanation. The heart is a muscle and it cannot work when deprived of Co-
Q10.
Cardiologist Peter Langsjoen studied 20 patients with completely normal
heart function. After six months on a low dose of 20 mg of Lipitor a day, two-
thirds of the patients had abnormalities
47. In every study with rodents to date, statins have caused cancer. Why have
we not seen such a dramatic correlation in human studies? Because cancer
takes a long time to develop and most of the statin trials do not go on longer
than two or three years
Still, in one trial, the CARE trial, breast cancer rates of those taking a statin
went up 1500 percent.
In the Heart Protection Study, showed an increase of non-melanoma skin
cancer
Manufacturers of statin drugs have recognized the fact that statins depress
the immune system, an effect that can lead to cancer and infectious
disease, recommending statin use for inflammatory arthritis and as an
immune suppressor for transplant patients.
