I hate to advertise but this is one of those cases i feel it is justified!

Im glad your okay.. Godspeed

 

[empirebuilder]

Damn bro I sure am glad you made it! Hope you have a very speedy recovery and keep us all posted!!!

 

[Nelson Montana]

Sorry you had to go through that but glad you're okay.

yes, although we all know the dangers of steroids are grossly exaggerated, higher blood pressure is actually pretty common and MUST be watched. Another reason not to go overboard with the dosages brothers.

For one..., a functional study of the human heart can be done with a nuclear stress test utilizing radiopharmaceuticals such as Cardiolite or Myoview. These tests are done with two phases. The resting phase and then the stress phase. Functional images are taken with a gamma camera during both phases which show distribution of the injected radio-tracer throughout the myocardium. These images are taken with a SPECT protocol which acquires projection views of the heart which are then recombined later into a sonogram. Horizontal Long Axis, Vertical Long Axis, and Short Axis views from both the resting and stress images are compared. Defects appearing on both the resting and stress images DO indicate a previous myocardial infarction, HOWEVER..., if a defect appears on the resting images, and DOES NOT appear on the stress images, then the patient is diagnosed with Ischemia. Can anyone guess what the main underlying cause of Ischemia is? Atherosclerosis. Build up of plaque. Therefore, the patient will more than likely be scheduled for heart catheterization if they meet certain screening issues, and the cardiologist will likely implant one or multiple stents. This determination was MADE POSSIBLE due to the diagnosis of Ischemia based on data acquired UTILIZING A NUCLEAR STRESS TEST

!


Yes, I know what a stress nuclear is......I had one monday. We were talking about regular stress tests which are basically standard EKG's only done on a treadmill, which I have also had. A nuclear stress test is quite an undertaking though, you're in the doctors office for over 4 hours. This far and above a regular "stress test" which ALWAYS is referring to an ekg test unless you PURPOSEFULLY add the word "NUCLEAR" in front of it. Two very different tests in magnitude and cost. And if I"m not mistaken, getting a stress nuclear perscribed requires some sort of previous heart related "event". YOu're not going to walk into your primary and ask for a stress nuclear. So what was your point here dude?

Furthermore, cardiologists are able to notice small deviations in the EKG during a normal stress test that can indicate previous MI and/or Ischemia.

right, but they can't tell you if you have predisposition to some sort of heart malady can they?

it is just absolutely insane for one to suggest that a stress test is pointless

.


I think you may need to go back and read my post dude. I didn't say stress tests were pointless in general, and most certainly not for people with a history of heart problems. If you think that's what I was implying you need to go back to grade school and take some remedial phonix lessons. A stress test is POINTLESS for people who don't have a history of heart problems but are trying to determine if they are at risk. This statement is 100% factual and if you say otherwise I am officially done talking to you because you're an idiot. I'll review my earlier post to see if there was some way my statement could be construed as suggesting what you apparently thought it was, if so I apologize.

There are certain patients who have OTHER underlying health problems that make them high risk for stress test complications. These patients will more than likely go straight to the heart cath floor. For the majority of us however a nuclear stress test is the least invasive, and most informative test one can have, and is usually a great starting point to determine if any further treatment is needed.

I mean Jesus, even a CT of the heart will show the actual calcium deposits within the coronary arteries!

CT scans are not even close to being as accurate on picking plaque up as a cath is......"BUT", it is certainly less invasive and may not be a bad idea for someone to do once they hit over 30 years old just to see where they stand on buildup. I have not had a CT but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those aren't flippantly perscribed either. I've also read that you want to have as little of them as possible in your lifetime because they're finding out now that they "can" do alot of damage to certain DNA structures. I tried to get a cardiac MRI........at the cleveland clinic by the way, so no "stix" here.......anyway, those you don't get either unless you've exhausted all other tests. YOu just don't get these tests unless you have prior heart problems. So i'm not sure why you decided to chime in here when you clearly weren't "clear" on what it was you thought I was saying. And to be honest, if you don't have a heart problem yourself.....I really need you to put the keyboard down and take a walk around the block till the urge subsides. I've seen enough myself and read enough myself now to understand FULLY how the medical field works.....it's personal experience/frustration, so I can't be bullshitted. I'm not claiming I know everything about cardiac dysfunctions....but I know alot.

So again, in conclusion.......if you're someone just trying to ascertain whether you have some predisposition to heart disease or to see if you have plaque buildup, doing a stress EKG is facking pointless, end of discussion. The only thing you can do is do your best to eliminate inflammation in your body. And if you're going to argue with me on inflammation and it's effects in the body, go ahead....but I refer you to Dr. Ray Kurzweil, a family friend. I'll take the word of an MIT professor who's dealing with his own predispositions to heart disease and has investigated all the absolute cutting edge research on the subject. Not just "read about it", but actually traveled aroudn the world to talk to the worlds leading researchers on heart disease. I'll take the word of a man like that over anyone posting here at elitefitness, no disrespect to the people here........but he's in another ballpark when it comes to this subject.

Good morning Brosephs. I'm still here and want to thank everyone once again for the kind words.

I'm enjoying the discussion and learning alot from it as our many others I hope. Lets remember to try and keep it clean and not insulting fellas.

What happens to all the oil we inject into out muscles????

What happens to all the oil we inject into out muscles????

It goes though our bloodstream and gets filtered through the liver just like oil that we eat.
