New Blood Test Predict Heart Failure
I chose this article because I think this article is very interesting. High blood pressure or cholesterol, a history of smoking , just getting older - all of these can make heart disease more likely. If we get a heart disease, we cannot notice that easily. Then, I think a simple blood test for a blood protein ,called cardiac troponin T, is useful. The troponin protein is released when heart cells die. So the protein test may predict heart disease. I was very surprised and impressed to know that by reading this article. I hope this leads to early detection of heart disease. What do you think about this article?

Somebody told me recently that a Japanese co-worker they know had a heart attack. He was a similar age to me. They said he worked hard and didn't eat healthy food. Also, he never exercised.
ReplyDeleteHaving a heart attack at that age is very worrying.
We must develop a healthy lifestyle and keep it going!!
