The CTT published its first meta - analysis of 14 clinical trials for secondary prevention in 2005, concluding that for every 39 - point drop in LDL cholesterol (roughly equivalent to 1 millimole per liter of blood) among people who took a statin, the odds of a heart attack or stroke dropped by 21 percent, and
mortality from coronary artery disease fell by 19 percent.
Likewise, a 2013 review of 10 studies on HIIT in older subjects with conditions
ranging from coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Despite the widespread belief that fats (particularly saturated fats) are unhealthy, an article that appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2004 [37] claims that, for a group of post-menopausal women, a high - fat, high - saturated - fat diet affords better
protection from coronary artery disease than a low - fat (25 % of calories from fats) diet.
Deaths from coronary artery disease have dramatically fallen for both men and women over the last 30 years as statins have gained in popularity, but that reduction has been much greater for men than for women.
Pets do not
suffer from coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or the other problems humans suffer from when eating a meat based diet in anything approaching the numbers humans do.
For example, in the United States in 2005, it was estimated that environmental smoke exposure caused 3,000 deaths from lung cancer and 46,000 deaths
from coronary artery disease.
And, the simple fact that men are three times more likely to suffer
from coronary artery disease (CAD) than women in the first place further clouds any correlation found.
Everything may seem good, but suddenly one day you may get a squeezing pain in your chest and the doctors may diagnose you as suffering
from a Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
