Re: Woman Giving a Speech Dies from a Heart Attack
Happened in Taiwan around June 15 2016.  People from South Asia—India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka—have a four times greater risk of heart disease than the general population and have a much greater chance of having a heart attack before age 50. Heart attacks strike South Asian men and women at younger ages and the attacks are more deadly compared to any other ethnic group. Almost one in three in this group will die from heart disease before age 65. In India, cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death. One study found that South Asians developed heart disease 10 years earlier than other groups. What is causing this heart disease phenomenon in South Asians? Why these heart attacks occur is only partially answered with traditional risk factor assessment. South Asians tend to be smokers, and the typical South Asian diet tends to be high in sugar, refined grains, and fatty foods. An alarmingly high number of South Asians appear to be insulin resistant, a pre-diabetic condition in which the body does not process insulin efficiently. Insulin-resistant patients have similar rates of cardiovascular events as those with full-blown diabetes. Body mass index (BMI) in South Asians often falls into a thin-fat syndrome: People may have an acceptable BMI, but they also carry more of their weight in their abdomen and that visceral fat is more likely to lead to a cardiovascular event. More than one-third of South Asian men and 17% of South Asian women have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including: High blood pressure High blood sugar levels Excess body fat around the waist Abnormal cholesterol levels that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes If more than one of these conditions occur in combination, the risk is even greater. South Asians are more likely to have high triglycerides and low HDL (the good cholesterol). A variant of HDL known as HDL2b, which is thought to mediate the good effects of HDL, is low in as many as 93% of South Asian men and 63% of women. What compounds these risks in the South Asian population is a lack of specific testing: The criteria for metabolic syndrome and the subfractionation of HDL and other lipid- and inflammatory-based cardiovascular risk biomarkers are typically not checked during routine physical exams and they are often overlooked in a standard cardiovascular workup. The cardiovascular risk in South Asians appears to begin early: Research has shown that even in infancy, children of South Asian heritage may have high levels of cholesterol and lipoproteins in their blood. |

Re: Woman Giving a Speech Dies from a Heart Attack
I read somewhere that CPR is only useful in a small percentage of heart attacks, I don't know how accurate that is. Of course you have to do CPR anyway...

Re: Woman Giving a Speech Dies from a Heart Attack
CPR effectiveness also depends on correct technique, most people give chest compression too slowly (and shallow). An instructor told us to keep it to the beat of 'Stayin' Alive' by the Bee Gees...not 'Another One Bites the Dust'  |

Re: Woman Giving a Speech Dies from a Heart Attack
It's true. Best-case scenario, in a clinical setting with 4 trained CPR performers (two active, two to relieve), only about 11% of CPR outcomes are favorable. Those movies where they shock people back to life are pretty much fiction. I've done a crapload of CPR in the ER and almost all my patients have died. |
