Atherosclerosis In COPD

Atherosclerosis In COPD

They don't listen to logic. IE: Increased breath with bloodletting.

Maybe they'll listen to Science.

This would be the .. rationale ..

Increased Arterial Stiffness Common in COPD Patients

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Apr 23 - Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) is associated with increased arterial stiffness and
elevated blood pressure, which may explain the excess cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality in this patient population, note researchers
from the UK in the April issue of the journal Thorax.

The reasons why patients with COPD are at high risk of having a heart
attack or stroke compared to the general population "are not clear,"
Dr. Joy J. Miller, from Borders General Hospital and the University of
Edinburgh, noted in comments to Reuters Health.

She and her colleagues measured blood pressure and blood vessel
stiffness in 102 COPD patients and 103 carefully matched healthy
persons with similar smoking histories and found that COPD patients
had stiffer blood vessels and higher blood pressures than controls.

"This suggests that COPD is not simply a disease of the lungs but
involves other systems including the heart and vasculature," Dr.
Miller said.

Compared to healthy controls, COPD patients had elevated augmentation
pressure (p =3D 0.005) and a reduced time to wave reflection (p =3D 0.004)
and these differences were associated with increases in both diastolic
(p =3D 0.005) and systolic (p < 0.001) blood pressure.

Moreover, serum C-reactive protein levels were threefold higher in
COPD patients than in control patients.

Dr. Miller noted that "two thirds of our COPD patients had high blood
pressure, and the majority of them were not on any treatment for this.
Our study highlights the need for careful assessment of cardiovascular
risk in COPD patients."

"The use of simple effective treatments to lower blood pressure has
the potential to prevent excess heart attacks and strokes in COPD
patients," she concluded.

Blood donation, body iron status and carotid intima-media thickness

Abstract:
Iron could promote free radical formation, which may lead to injury
of
the arterial wall and atherosclerosis.
Blood donation may reduce cardiovascular risk by lowering body iron
status.
We collected data on blood donation history and intima-media
thickness
of the common carotid artery (CIMT) in 819 subjects (50-70 years),
who
were recruited from municipal and blood bank registries in The
Netherlands.
Serum iron parameters were assessed, including non-transferrin bound
iron (NTBI) that has recently been found in conditions of iron
overload.
Serum ferritin was lower in current donors (n=3D443; 44mug/L) than in
ex-
donors (n=3D120; 114mug/L) and never-donors (n=3D256; 124mug/L, P for
trend <0.001).
For NTBI, values were 2.33, 2.54, and 2.51mumol/L, respectively
(P<0.05). CIMT was slightly reduced in frequent donors (i.e., >/=3D49
times during life or >/=3D2 times per year), although not statistically
significant.
CIMT was not significantly related to NTBI.
Frequent blood donation, resulting in lowered body iron, might give
some protection against accelerated atherosclerosis.

There are a lot of things in medicine which "might" be and many of them turn
out to be not true. If everyone followed all the the "mights," could end up
with conflicting things.

You do seem to be fixed on iron.

When I read posts in sci.med groups, I do not regard assertions about
Jesus to be germane.

Regarding the notion that man is a herbivore, this contradicts my own
dental construction which is more suited to an omnivorous diet. I
also note that humans are not alone amongst the primates as being
hunters and meat eaters. The site referenced above contains a single
line asserting that man is a herbivore with no substantiating evidence
on the site to support the claim.

You know it has been soooo long since I even looked at the page ..

I believe you are wrong though .. I placed what information was
available at the time and that was pretty substantial.
Anything else is just corroboration of the proven theory / hypothesis.

You need more articles .. ?

Go to google groups and type in this one word ..
"jesuswasavegetarian" .. and whatever OTHER word you wish.

In those two words you will find everything you ever need to know.

Isn't that .. special .. ?

You may think that body parts and how one .. looks .. may be involved
in the ascertation of man being a herbivore but it doesn't ..

The iron from the meat you eat rises continuously to the point it
kills you and therefore it .. proves .. man is a herbivore because one
cannot argue a food which kills you is a natural food for you.

Any other evidence really

Soybeans, lentils and beans and other vegetables have more iron per serving
than meat, except for chicken livers, so maybe better to eat meat.

Best advice is to eat a balanced diet.

Best advice for most is to stay away from absurd arguments like those of
Chungy and Fe-injustice.

You have COPD do ya .. ?

You have atherosclerosis .. ?

Include an article or two which describes your understanding of the
difference between .. blood .. and .. plant juice.

If I squeeze your head real hard with a vice .. what happens .. ?

Your eye pops out .. and you .. what .. ?

You .. bleeeed ..

Now I do that to a .. cabbage .. what happens .. ?

Cabbage juice pops out.

There is no blood in a plant.

Write that down.

Blood iron is absorbed at a very high rate .. much higher than other
iron .. it is absorbed at foour to ten times the rate of the iron from
your cabbage .. or your .. corn .. or your mushrooms .. or your ..
orange lemons or limes ..

Soooo .. you didn't know the above .. ?

Now you do ..

Oh .. and iron from meat is absorbed all the time whereas the iron
from plants is not absorbed when we don't **need** it ..

Did you know that .. ?

Now you do ..

This iron finally arrives at what is called age-related iron
accumulation .. you know all that iron found in the lungs of those
with COPD .. ?

You didn't know that .. ?

Oh .. I .. think .. you .. did ..

Didn't ya .. ?

I placed it not more than a couple of weeks ..

Now are you still going to tell people with COPD who are often told to
go home and die .. to eat .. meat .. ?

Yes you are ..

Surprising anyone with COPD have survived at all with people like you
and the medical people around.
IE: doctors admitting to all but praying FOR the person with COPD to
die on the steps of their home .. and NOT in the ICU .. because ..
"you mess up the place" ..

Isn't that .. right .. j666 ..

Or didn't you know .. that ..

So Popeye and eating spinach was a hoax.

The amount of iron absorbed from meat and vegetables is inversely
proportional to the iron stores in the body so if iron level gets too high,
the body absorbs less. ..... Did you know that .. ? Now you do ..

So are you advocating routine blood letting for normal males and
non-menstruating females - of course those with Polycythemia vera have that

Let see - I posted:

"So Popeye and eating spinach was a hoax.

The amount of iron absorbed from meat and vegetables is inversely
proportional to the iron stores in the body so if iron level gets too high,
the body absorbs less. ..... Did you know that .. ? Now you do ..

So you commented about the obvious sarcastic statement about Popeye and
somehow missed the rest. I find that hard to believe, but that is what you
said and everyone can decide for him/herself how credible you are.


OKAY, let me try again.

Is it not true that the iron absorption is inversely proportional to the iron
stores in the body?

Are you advocating that health people, excluding menstruating females, have a
phlebotomy?

WILL YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
