"Half of all heart attack victims 'do not realise they have had one'"

Independent:  Experts said 45 per cent of people who have heart attacks suffered what they called the “silent” variety, where patients believe they have strained a muscle or have indigestion.
Silent heart attacks can cause just as much damage as heart attacks which are instantly recognised. But as silent attacks do not come with the usual symptoms of chest or arm pain, patients do not seek treatment which can help prevent another.
The research, published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, found people who have silent heart attacks are three times more likely to die of heart disease and 34 per cent more likely to die from any cause.

The indigestion thing can feel like GERD.

Or vice versa.

Great. One of the chief causes of early death is the feeling that you're healthy.

Troop lucked out in a way.

The Dude said...

Are you suggesting that Trooper had a heart attack, Evi? If so, leave medical work to those of us with hands, not hooves.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

He had a serious heart condition and got treatment. I am glad for that.

You went off in a huff around then and went MIA for a while. Weren't you mad at Troop? I forget what you were pissed off about. I am sure it was important to you.

The Dude said...

So now you are a cardiologist. eh? Good news is, we can cut your heart out and eat it, Captain.

Now get back to chewing your cud - that's all that you are really good at, you 4 stomach-having ungulate. Leave intelligent conversation to the bipeds.

When deer attack we serve venison.

A tummy ache could be a heart attack? Color me skeptical.

Hey Lem, look up hart...or don't...makes no difference either way 'cause Hillary voters get special dispensation from knowing anything.

We need to have information. But, this story has been BLARING on the MSM. The reason is simple. The MSM sells FEAR. And this is a perfect story to push. FEAR sells cars, beer, feminine flow products, etc.

Sixty, I missed your rapier wit.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

You are not using it right 60!

The Dude said...

We haven't missed yours.

ndspinelli said...

I like Evi and would miss him if he left, just like I missed Sixty. I miss ChipS, bags, Mama, Darcy, Ari, blake and more. I know some poke their heads in once in a while, but I like them here regularly.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

ndspinelli, thanks. For what ever reason, 60 gets triggered now and again. I am not sure why, but it is sort of amusing.

The Dude said...

Seeing a dumb beast making claims about things it knows nothing of, then getting huffy when its stupidity is pointed out, now that is amusing. Comedy gold.

Good thing ground beef is so delicious, otherwise you would end up as buzzard food.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

60, you are cute when you get so petulant. Like a little angry baby. Do you enjoy eating me?

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Sixty, I understand you have a difficulty with reading comprehension. Where did I say Troop had a heart attack? You just jumped in there assuming that. Troop did have a serious heart and health condition and got treated (if that didn't happen he would probably no longer be with us). That you could manage to twist a comment like that into a dispute says a lot about you. Who do you think you are, Meade?

I find it amusing how you go looking for a fight. Suffering from frustration? You need to find a nice "girl" to settle down with.

The Dude said...

Doubling down on stupid again, I see. Carry on, cow - this post was about heart attacks, or, if you are illiterate, hart attacks, and you somehow managed to drag Trooper into it. You are stupid even for a bovine.

And, asshole, it takes two to fight, you goddamned beefsteak.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I do not mind watching you flail around like a lunatic. It is entertaining. I will give you this, at least you aren't a parasite like Meade.

The Dude said...

You are the one who cannot differentiate between a heart attack and congestive heart failure. Say what you will, but you remain an ignorant asshole.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

What does congestive heart failure lead to (if not treated)? Come on, say it, you can do it Sixty.

I cannot believe you started a fight over this. You are like one of those monkeys at the zoo that throw poo and jerk off all the time.
