Does your family have a history of heart disease?

Lilja,

I believe that chronic inflammation is a primary factor in heart disease. By changing your diet, you have made an important improvement in your health. Your ancestors probably had no idea what was causing their increased risk.

Good luck with the appointment.

Thank you, Tex. Yes, I think you're right; of course chronic inflammation must be stressful for the heart.

My brother died from a heart attack on his 50th birthday. He was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy a few years before. He had it from birth but it was not diagnosed until he passed out at work. They said a child born with a heart like his today would have a heart transplant. Ironically he was the most athletic of my four brothers and lived an active life.
