I only asked because E.I.'s are genetically predisposed to cardiovascular events. I mentioned this to young Ameena last year when she posted that she suffers from a heart issue.
Advice after Heart Surgery

saliksalik,
No one will be scared of your scars. Just tell them its your "War wound" and it will make for a great story. I wish you all the best as i have been through what you are going through myself in a son's eyes. If you need any advice or cadio recommendations I'll be happy to discuss this through PM or offline. All I can say it is I lived through this painful experience and would do things much differently today had I known what I know today. Watch your legs heal properly and make sure you walk as much as possible but until you heal take it easy, watch your diet and get plenty of rest.

I gather that means wild sex put more strain in one's heart than"No sex for 4 weeks, unless I was with another woman, in which case I had to wait 8 weeks."
routine sex with the SO. I wonder if a slow and teasing HJ with a hot
MPA could be more potentially risky. The OP could ask his cardiologist
if visiting MP is one of the don'ts to avoid.
Thanks form making me forget the # 2,1. Regarding the scars, chicks dig scars.
2. Post heart op, take up marathon running, some kind of full contact blood sport, cocaine only on weekdays, and start arguments with everyone as much as possible.
3. Forget #2 or anything resembling it.
And if it is not a cliche, thanks to all again.
Cheers
You should do some research on E.I. cardiovascular predisposition before making such an ignorant statement.So, since there is no country called "Ignorania" are you genetically a polack or a newfie?
Ok, so we agree E.I.'s have a greater risk of a cardiovascular event. BTW: I also asked Ameena if she is E.I. and she appreciated the info that she is at greater risk because of her genetics.Of course East Indians have elevated cardiovascular risks.
Our fellow TERBIE saliksalik said he had Quad Bypass without any SIGNS and WARNING. If he is E.I., then genetics could be a reason. At the risk of bring politically incorrect, I suggest all E.I.'s on this Board get a heart health checkup. I think a healthy heart is far more important than some silly notion of politically correctness.
Saliksalik can speak for himself and he already did. He thanked me for asking.I'm sure if SalikSalik were EI he'd appreciate hearing the news from you Doctor Obvious. just in case his cardiologist didn't tell him already.
Ameena, who is an ethnic E.I. born in Egypt, was NOT told by her doctor that E.I.'s are genetically predisposed to heart disease (which she has) and she appreciated the info that I provided to her.
Just checked on Amazon sound like a great book . thanksRead the book the China study and Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D.
Sounds like an excellent book. Read some of the readers' comments. I don't think there are any big secrets about preventing heart disease. Just adopt the diet and lifestyle of a Chinese peasant. Heart disease is a "White Man's" disease because we have terrible diets (too much sugar, salt and fat) and a sedentary lifestyle (couch potato). The only factor you can't control is genetics.Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by

I would suggest based on the follwoing study that South Asian, and Whites in Canada, have about the equal percent of Cardiovascular incidences. The differnce is actually statistically negligible. Which means that both South Asains and Whites should give due consideration to their heart care. No issue of political correctness.I'm sure if SalikSalik were EI he'd appreciate hearing the news from you Doctor Obvious. just in case his cardiologist didn't tell him already.
Nothing politically correct about my observation, just read my math again.
BTW in my Cardiac Rehab group the majority is that of Whites. That may mean that South Asians either do not survive the heart disease or do not care about post treatment rehab. That would be very silly of them.

READ THIS FROM YOUR VERY OWN LINK
The high risk of heart disease found in the South Asian population is consistent with previous research in other countries, according to Tu. The study authors cite previous research that shows that the high risk may be linked to South Asians' relatively high susceptibility to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, characterized by central obesity, glucose intolerance, a poor lipid profile, and diabetes.
