The discovery helps explain why some people who survive
heart damage develop abnormal calcium deposits — the main component of bone — in the valves or
walls of the
heart.
For example, a diseased
heart after a
heart attack exhibits a less pronounced left ventricular twist due to local
damage that extends through the
heart wall.
According to cardiologist Stefanie Dimmler at the University of Frankfurt in Germany, degraded telomeres might cause
heart disease by impeding the ability of cells from the bone marrow to repair
damaged parts of the arterial
walls.
To repair
heart muscle in a mouse, researchers inject adult stem cells into the muscle of the
damaged wall of a mouse
heart.
Homocysteine is a dangerous molecule that is directly
damaging to blood vessel
walls, and high levels of it are associated with an increased risk of
heart attack and stroke.
One reason might be the role of fat in inducing oxidative stress and creating free radicals, which are highly reactive atoms and molecules that
damage DNA and cellular
walls, ultimately killing
heart muscle cells.
A
damaged endothelial cell
wall means low performance during physical activity as well as an increased risk in
heart attack since a healthy endothelial cell
wall does not allow arterial blockages to form.

Heart disease is caused by several conditions initiated by sugar and insulin: excess sugar thickens the blood; excess sugar robs the heart of it's favorite mineral — Magnesium, and it's favorite vitamin — the Bs (that's because digesting / metabolizing sugar requires an enormous amount of Magnesium and B vitamins); and excess sugar and insulin severely damage artery walls, in several

damage artery
walls, in several ways.
«Small injuries to the vascular
wall that can be caused by anything from high blood pressure to toxins attract all sorts of metabolic riff - raff, from bacteria to oxidized (
damaged) LDL particles; the immune system sends inflammatory cytokines to the area, and more oxidation and inflammation takes place eventually resulting in the growth of plaque and, ultimately, to an increased risk for
heart disease.
At high levels, homocysteine, which can directly
damage blood vessel
walls, is considered a significant risk factor for
heart attack or stroke.
Studies suggest that catechins protect the artery
walls against the
damage that causes
heart disease and prevents formation of blood clots.
It's easy to understand why balanced blood pressure is critical for optimal health and wellness; as blood pressure increases, your
heart has to work harder, cumulatively
damaging the
walls of your arteries and creating inflammation.
Researchers are increasingly finding chronic inflammation, not healthy dietary fats,
damages the
walls of the arteries and raises the risk of
heart disease.
Pineapple chunks contain little vitamin E, but their high antioxidant and mineral content may benefit your
heart as well by preventing
damage from free radicals, reducing inflammation and keeping your cell
walls healthy.
Too much homocysteine can
damage blood vessel
walls, and high levels of it are associated with increased risk of
heart attack and stroke.
According to the American
Heart Association, an elevation in blood pressure can cause
damage to the arterial
walls, increase the accumulation of plaque, and block blood flow.
When these B vitamins are not available, levels of homocysteine increase in the bloodstream — a bad idea since homocysteine
damages artery
walls and is considered a serious risk factor for
heart disease.
This extreme amount of pressure is not good for the stomach; it can cause
damage to the stomach
walls, loss of blood supply, and decreased blood flow to the
heart.
