Keywords: CoQ10, CoQ10 Benefits, benefits of CoQ10, CoQ10 Dosage CoQ10 Facts: CoQ10 Benefits, Dosage & More If you asked me for the most powerful nutrient you can take for heart health, hands down the answer is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). In fact, I’ve long said that if CoQ10 was a medication pharmaceutical companies would be racing each other to get the patent—it’s literally that powerful for preventing and treating heart disease. Yet, many cardiologists still don’t know what CoQ10 is or why it’s so…

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder which affects the connective tissue of the body. MFS is autosomal dominant, with “approximately seventy five percent of people” diagnosed with MFS having a parent that has the disorder. The other “twenty five percent” of people with MFS have developed this disease through new gene mutation (NIH. National Human Genome Research Institute). This disease is not specific to gender, race or region, and is potentially life threatening. MFS affects multiple…

to 30 minutes. For healthy patients, this is an unimportant factor, however bacteremia poses a risk in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves, previous bacterial endocarditis, surgically constructed systemic-pulmonary shunts, most congenital cardiac malformations, rheumatic and other acquired valvular dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse with valvular regurgitation, synthetic vascular grafts and prosthetic joints [ortho2]. The prevalence of bacteremia is observed in…

Sometimes when we ingest certain substances, we can stimulate foci (nodes that pace the heart at a certain speed) in the heart which can give us the feeling of “skipping a beat.” The feeling of “skipping a beat” is actually another beat that follows the original beat quickly which gives us that feeling. A lot of factors can stimulate other foci such as atrial and junctional in our heart. These factors, according to Dr. Dubin, includes adrenaline (epinephrine) released by adrenal glands,…

On June 23, 1858 a well established Medical Practitioner named Antoine Prosper Marfan and his wife Adelaïde Thuries bought a new life into the world. Antoine Prosper and Adelaide’s son was named Antoine Bernard-Jean Marfan. Bernard’s father, Antoine Prosper had refused to accept his son’s choice in pursuing a career in the medical field. Prosper later gave up on arguing with his son and Bernard went off to study at a medical school in Toulouse, France. Two years went by and Bernard decided to go…

What is Polycystic Kidney Disease and how does it affect our lives ? Polycystic Kidney Disease also known as (PKD) which is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys (mayoclinic.org).

Theses symptoms may be treatable by stop smoking , eat a better diet such as low sodium…

incidence of congested heart failure was 1.8% in the patients examined. Cardiac imaging showed that incidence rate of 19.8 % for left ventricular hypertrophy, 18.6% for left ventricular dilatation, 14% for left ventricular dysfunction, 13.7% for mitral valve prolapse and 6.3% for left atrial dilatation. The authors conclude that in patients with DM1, there is a significant presence of structural cardiac…

Anxiety can cause students to be distracted in class, and not play attention in class, which can affect the student’s performance. Anxiety disorders, also, can have great effects on your health. People with panic disorder are more likely to have mitral valve prolapse, hypertension, peptic ulcer, diabetes, angina or thyroid disease, just to name a few. In fact, men who have anxiety disorders are also at greater risk for cardiac disorders, hypertension, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory…

Do mental benefits exceed physical benefits when it comes to running? Some people believe that they do and others believe that they do not. What is the correct answer? “There is no doubt that physical activity is the basis of efficient functioning of the human mechanism, both physical and mental” (Pradesh). Running can be considered one of the most euphoric and rewarding hobbies with great physical benefits; however, the mental aspects greatly outweigh the physical benefits. Despite the…

In philosophy, an often debated question involves whether or not the dead can be “wronged”. Slander is mostly agreed to be wrong, regardless of the character of the dead. However, could genetic testing have the same result? One great example is Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln fascinated physicians because of his remarkable stature (6’, 4”) which has been possibly linked to Marfan syndrome. Abraham Lincoln was unusually tall as a child and his extremities were disproportionately to his overall height;…
