Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of both men and women in the US. Coronary heart disease kills almost 700,000 people each year. Coronary heart disease occurs when arteries that supply the heart become narrowed and may cause a heart attack. Dr. Dahlman’s video describes how coronary heart disease can be reversed or prevented by a healthier diet.

I am just a little confused about the difference between coronary heart disease. To me it sounds like a disease that could be labeled under a cardiovascular disease. So…any ideas?
so then since it has to do with the heart it would still be considered a cardiovascular disease?
Cardiovascular diseases refers to the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins).
Coronary heart disease refers to the failure of coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue.
Long story short coronary heart disease is a type of cardiovascular disease.

My goal as a physician is to empower people to take charge of their health and avoid needlessly suffering from conditions like heart disease.
Throughout this video, I will walk you through the basics of heart disease. You will learn just what you need to know about this illness, so that you can reduce your risk of suffering from it.

I can’t figure out what else? The question says
Exercse and good _________ are the best means to prevent the development of coronary heart disease…..!!!! HELP!!!!
Thanks 
diet
Through high school up until age 19 I weighed around 300lbs. Now I am 170lbs and 23 years old (I’m a 6′0" male). My question is, do the fatty buildups and increased risk of coronary heart disease go away if you lose the weight, or was the damage already done? By dropping to 170 did I undo all the damage or only some?
damage comes, from among other things, high blood pressure and cholesterol build up,,,,, lowing both decreases your risk,,,,,,getting to a healthy weight and diet lowers both,,, at your age, i wouldnt think the damage had alot of build up time,,,,,,,,make sure and check the sodium and fat content of what you eat,,,, as its not just in how much you weigh, but also your diet and family history,,,,, have a check up at the doctor to see what condition you are in now,,,,, and a basic blood work up,,,, you could have a tendency inherited for high cholesterol,,, its best to start yearly or every other year check ups at this age anyway,,,,,,
for example, i have always been thin, yet heart disease runs in my family, we have a tendency to have high cholesterol,,,,, no one knew this years ago, if i hadnt happened to have blood work to show it,,,,, i would of went years with it building up, even though i ate a mostly low fat/lowcholesterol diet,,,,,,,
WHERE is the PROOF cholesterol CAUSES coronary heart disease. WHERE is it?
Let the trials begin!
There is NOT a single dietary intervention trial that has ever shown saturated fat to increase coronary heart disease mortality OR incidence. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
There are exactly 18 to date, The $400 million Women’s Health Initiative 2006 being the latest
Ancel Keys started this MYTH by scientific CHICANERY
He OMITTED data.

Did you know that this year 1 ΒΌ million Americans will have a heart attack? Thats a heart attack every 25 seconds. Watch Dr. Hotze and the physicians from the Hotze Health & Wellness Center explain the connection between hypothyroidism and corony artery disease. Don’t miss this!

What really causes coronary heart disease?
Ancel Keys’s research has ZERO scientific validity as he LEFT OUT data available from 22 other that CONTRADICTED his theory. Also his false theory was an epidemiological study – which is the LOWEST of the low and is not good enough.
Most importantly there has not been one tightly controlled clinical intervention trial that has ever shown saturate dfat to increase CJHD mortality or incidence.
So what REALLY CAUSES CHD?

There are many factors that contribute to development of atherosclerosis, but the primary cause is the profound changes that have taken place in the American diet during the past century, particularly:
1. Imbalance in consumption of essential fatty acids (too little omega-3 as in fish, too much omega-6 as in corn oil, soybean oil, etc.)
2. Excess consumption of carbohydrates particularly sugars and high fructose corn syrup.
3. Eating too much (too many calories).
4. Free radicals in process liquid vegetable oils and trans fatty acids partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
5. Nutrient deficiencies.
The kind of diet that the American Heart Association recomends is contributing to the high rates of cancer, heart disease and stroke. Eat liquid vegetable oils and margarine stay away from saturated fat like butter and coconut oil….blah…blah…blah..
Has anyone told the AHA that butter and coconut oils are the healthiest fats on the planet.
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4668
They fail to mention that the liquid vegetable oils and tub margarines are rancid oils. Because high heat is used to process these oils and the high heat makes the oils rancid (free radicals) and food companies will deodorize the oils to hide the rancid smell. So all those vegetable oils you see on the shelf that look clean and don’t smell bad are really rancid. Unless it says "Cold Pressed" oil it’s ok. That means high heat was not used in processing. But you should never cook with vegetable oils because the polyunsaturated fats are very vulnerable to damage. It’s safer to cook with the more saturated fats or monounsaturated fats like beef tallow, lard, coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil… http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html
The myths and truths about nutrition:
http://www.westonaprice.org/mythstruths/mtnutrition.html
There are two kinds of LDL-cholesterol. The light, fluffy LDL is good. Light fluffy LDL is a building block of lipoprotein, so the fact that it is being increased for repair is probably good.
The small dense LDL is thought to be bad. One study showed that a lowfat diet in children raises this bad kind of cholesterol.
Dreon, MD et al, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2000 71:1611-1616).
The typical American diet results in increased production of triglycerides, decreased levels of HDL-cholesterol, and a preponderance of small, dense LDL-cholesterol particles, a condition referred to as the atherogenic lipid triad. The increase in the atherogenic potential of LDL arises from the increase in the number of small dense LDL particles, not from the cholesterol content per se. Small dense LDL particles more easily penetrate the arterial wall, initiating atherosclerotic injury, which leads to the development of inflammation and plaque.
Proc Nutr Soc, 199 Feb:58(1);163-69.
The development of highly atherogenic small dense LDL particles is thought to be due to high insulin levels and excess triglycerides that result from excessive carbohydrate and caloric intake and from an imbalance of essential fatty acids. Res Commun Moi Pathol Pharmacol, 2003:113-114:87-95 and Prostoglandins Leukot Essent Fatty acids. 1997 Oct;57(4-5):379-85.
Other factors that contribute to atherosclerosis are smoking, inactivity and stress.
It is not unusual for those who adopt a healthy low-carbohydrate diet to experience a reduction on Triglycerides and increase HDL by 50 to 75 percent, indicating a dramatic decrease in insulin resistance, inflammation and levels of small LDL particles, and further indicating reduced risk of diabetes, cornorary artery disease and adverse cardiac events.
