Heart attack risk is associated to high Homocysteine Levels, which is one of the amino acids found in everyones blood. Studies show that levels above 14 are considered high, which can lead to 15% of Heart Attacks and 30-40 percent of Strokes. It is not always High Cholesterol that is the danger. Sometimes a genetic disease can cause even young people to suffer clogged arteries as was discovered by a Boston Massachusetts General Hospital doctor in the 1960's.
In a study at Harvard and Brigham and Womens Hospital 15,000 male physicians were looked at over a total of a five year timeperiod. Of these doctors there were 271 Heart Attacks. Five percent of these men with the highest Homocysteine had a three fold greater risk of having an attack.
But do not despair the good news about High Homocysteine is that it can be easily corrected. High Homocysteine correlates to low levels of theB vitamin folic acid and in some cases B6 and B12. "People who have five daily servings of green leafy vegetables, beans, and citrus fruits or juices can get the required 400 micrograms of folic acid" says Dr. Jacob Selhub, professor of nutrition at Tufts University. But the facts remain that the vast majority of the population does not get the needed folic acid thru their diets, so supplementation is the choice left.Evidence points that the elderly may need supplements because the ability to break down homocysteine decLines with age. However,there is no definite proof yet that lowered levels of Homocysteine will reduce the chance of heart attack.
