…magnesium level is also the most common nutrient deficiencies we see. The mineral is often “used up” and thus depleted in patients with diabetes, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, chest pain, high blood pressure levels, cardiac arrhythmias, heart muscle disease, heart attack, and even sudden…
…electrolyte abnormalities in clinical practice today. Magnesium is often depleted in patients with cardiovascular problems, specifically those with congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), and heart attack. Like CoQ10, magnesium…
…of canned ham (packed with salt) one Easter Sunday. The next day he was in the emergency room in hypertensive crisis, having an episode of acute congestive heart failure. His heart couldn’t handle the enormous amount of salt he’d eaten. Now, I’ll admit that was an extraordinary situation, but it…
…anyone with more than two episodes of AF a year is to take Coumadin. If you have fewer episodes of AF and no other health problems like diabetes, congestive heart failure, leaking heart valves, or an enlarged heart, aspirin is a second choice.

Research appears to verify the connection between statins, depletion of CoQ10, and congestive heart failure. I would never take a statin without the added insurance of supplemental CoQ10…
If you have a history of cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack, congestive heart failure, or high blood pressure levels, you may already be taking a diuretic such as indapamide (Lozol) or furosemide (Lasix). These agents help to promote healthy blood pressure indirectly by increasing urine output…
…put on a pair of thoroughly wrung out wet cotton socks, cover with a dry pair of socks and go to bed. This form of hydrotherapy helps to remove congestion in the head and upper respiratory tract. Repeat for 3–4 nights. Now it’s your turn: Which of these strategies have you tried? You May Also Be…
…much of a stretch to think these drugs could lead to diastolic dysfunction and, subsequently, congestive heart failure. Research has verified the connection between statins, depletion of CoQ10, and congestive heart failure. Therefore, it is critical that anyone taking a statin should be chasing it down…
…medicine. The reason I began formulating supplements is because they’re some of the best weapons we have to treat cardiac conditions like angina, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and cardiac arrhythmias. In fact, I’ve seen the lab work for thousands of people documenting their nutrient…
More than ten years ago, when I started aggressively using coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to treat congestive heart failure (CHF), some patients would perk up initially but when they came back, I’d hear one of two reactions. Some would say, “Whoa, Doc! I got my life back!” while others would say, “What…

…24 hours, or extremely high or low heart rates), can place a considerable strain on your heart. Occasionally, this can lead to a heart attack or congestive heart failure. There is also a risk that blood clots may form in the fibrillating atria. This can lead to the most dreaded complication of AF: stroke…

Other cardiovascular problems that can adversely affect ejection fraction include heart attack, long-standing high blood pressure…
…conditions. In fact, 50% of the time high blood pressure is the cause. But it can also happen in people with arteriosclerosis, valvular disease, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and pacemaker therapy. The classic signs of VaD are slowed thinking, memory problems, confusion that often worsens…

There they can learn how to exercise safely with whatever…
…time to get to that temperature and duration. (In fact, my sauna even has a CD player for my “Zen” music.) Those with high blood pressure and congestive heart failure can use saunas, but should do at lower temperatures and for very short time periods (5-10 minutes). I purchased the far-infrared kind…
