So a cardiologist can tell you how much your arteries are blocked?

[Marty Champions]

just heard this about rosie odonell when she went to a cardiologist. if this is true how do they administer this test, and is it accurate and shouldnt this test be alot more accurate than hdl readings?

[Marty Champions]

in theory we could all solve any potential heart attacks by getting this test and trying different diets and leaving pyramid shits in between to check on the blockage to see if it subsides with kai greens and bean shit pyramids

Consistent shit-pyramids at least 12 cm high are the key to good constitution.

The gold standard is an invasive procedure called a heart catheter where they actually insert a camera into your femoral artery and follow the path up to your heart.  I've had two that turned out to be needless...but they are good in that there are no questions about any of that shit.  It's right there in front of them.   Bad in that you're awake and you can feel them moving the camera around.   Nice to know I'm a 315lb 51 year-old who eats red meat by the pound but stil has squeaky clean arteries.

You should lose some weight brosef, not a lot of 315-lbers walking around at 65.

One look at her should tell you that her arteries are clogged to all hell.  Obesity is a good indicator.  The longer one is obese, the worse it will be.

I know...I don't think my body fat is too high...I have the outline and first two rows of a six pack...so it's not like I'm a ball or something....I'm just....big.   But still..this kind of mass is not a recipe for longevity.

Shocks the hell out of people when I tuck jump a 42 inch hurdle from a standstill...

 They can see exactly how badly blocked they are -or aren't- using ultrasound scans.

well the other guy just said they have to insert a camaro in your body and now you say oh all u need is ultra sound scnas? im going with your advice

Johnny Falcon I'm an inch shorter than you...I looked pretty good at 290 a few years ago, then I got hit with couple of serious arm injuries and had my thyroid out.  I blimped up to 330 and my waist blew up aboout 6-8 inches.  Back down to 315, but wearing pants I wore at 280-290.  Kinda weird..guess the HRT is working extra hard...

Carotid artery IMT scan. Doubt you'd be able to get one as you're too young and probably have acceptable cholesterol  and triglyceride levels.

I've had two noooclear stress tests (2005 and 2012) that threw false positives for blockages.  Cardiologist thinks I'm too big to "see" through.  It sucks...I have a weird blip on my EkG that looks like a problem...b ut it's just some harmless anomaly.  Problem is...if I run accross a DR who hasn't seen it before or doesn't have access to my old EKG's, they think I'm screwed and they order a stress test that in turn shows blockage that leads to a catheter.

Avoid all that shit by losing 100 lbs.

Well at least you're NOT actually screwed my friend.

Mean they could just shrug off an request from Jeaney Falconyey?

so are you just gonna keep attaining heme-iron despite this bro?

so far docs cant find anything wrong with me. but i stopped eating meat do to a skin condition wich evolved in a more compassionate feeling for" other wordly beings"

 No harm in asking. If you go in there in full Jethro Tull workout mode they can't brush you off.

Another method is a high speed 64 slice cat scan of your cardial arteries. I had one done years ago and they can see how much your arteries are clogged. They inject contrast die into you.  

There are basically two types of heart attacks. One is where the cardiac arteries get clogged which can be from an artery being narrowed or by inflamation of a break in cholesterol that travels to an cardial artery.  Since the heart is controlled by your body's electrical impulse you can also have a heart attack with no clog to an artery. Some people have a thick heart walls that could lead to a disruption of the electrical impulse that could kill you.

great post its amazing how sometimes a few can doubt the abilities of getbig posters

very interesting. im hoping that the beans and greens i eat counter act the thickening of arterial wall potential from sugars

Waitresses at the burger bar are fine looking women...no red meat will be tough.  Do need to drop a few lbs I imagine...although as truegrit pointed out, I'm really lucky to be where I am considering (both parents and two brothers with bad hearts).  Any way...there's a college 20 minutes from here with a bodpod.  For $20 they'll give me themost accurate body at % going today.  That will let me know where I should be.

get yourself some heat sealable tea bags. throw some powdered cayenne pepper(90,000+ HU) and crushed up aspirin in the tea bag ans seal it up. Keep one in your wallet at all times. If and when a heart attack hits you, this simple concoction will keep you alive long enough to get to the hospital.

Write a short clear not on a piece of paper 1/4 inch larger than a dollar bill and keep it in your wallet at all times telling you and anyone else to open the teabag and dumb it in your mouth.

EKG or a stress test would do the trick
