Can a fish have a heart attack?

Question

Is it possible for a fish to have a heart attack?

Answer 1

anyanimal can have a heart attack, though most are not prone to because they do not suffer from high cholesterol/triglyceride levels, and therefore don't have the same degree of problem with coronary artery occlusion as we do.

Answer 3

Essentially, anything that has a heart, can have a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when plaque build-up in the coronary arteries ruptures. The bodies own defense to an open wound is to clot, so clotting occurs around the vessel rupture, and occludes the rest of the coronary flow. The part of the heart that was fed by that coronary suffers from lack of oxygen. The longer the muscle is deprived of oxygen, the more extensive the damage, most to the point of tissue death- heart attack.

Fish, typically aren't exposed to this because their diet consists of foods that are essential to their growth. Like ponyboy said, the high cholesterol is what causes plaque build-up in the vessel walls. It's not likely, but I wouldn't say it isn't possible. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

It's something to do with the omega 3 that fish have. It some sort of healthy nutrient, vitamin type thing. Fish also carry a fair bit of iron. Both are often put in the multi-vitamin tablets you can buy to supplement your diet or if you have a poor diet.

Food molecules nourish our cells so that they get to work and help the body cure itself. Fish oil is an Omega 3 Fatty acid. Flax Seeds also contain Omega Fatty acids. So, plant sources are available. Your cell walls are made out of "Fatty Acids" otherwise known as lipids. When you eat man made oils, such as Wesson Oil, hydrogenated oils, like margarine or Kraft foods, it actually interferes with your cell wall structure by stiffening your cell walls. Now, what is the affect of stiffening your cell walls? Well, it keeps antioxidants from weaving through your cells to prevent premature rusting or aging of your cells. Thus, it increases early cell death and contributes to heart disease. When you eat fatty acids, which are in nuts, seeds, avocados, fish oils etc... IT take the bad fat by the hand and leads it out of the body and also contributes to proper cell structure. Thus, you support your body on a cellular level with that one vital nutritional component. Nordic Naturals has the highest quality fish oil. It is expensive because they don't tolerate any metals in their product. I know there are fish oils that have the Mercury contamination take out, but they did not remove the aluminum and other metals. Nordic naturals removes ALL metals. A less expensive alternative is Omega 3 Flax oil from flax seeds. Anyway, steer clear of the one nutritional component takes care of everything mentality. There are five systems that need to be addressed. These five systems are: 1. The immune system 2. The defense system 3. The endocrine system 4. The autonomic nervous system 5. The elimination system Now let's take a look at what cells need in order for all five systems of the body to achieve balance: * Fatty Acids (Primarily Omega 3's) * Vitamin/Minerals (Not synthetic) * Enzymes (Categories are digestive and systemic) * Flora ( Bacteria to aid in digestion that our antibiotics destroy on a regular basis) * Carbohydrates (The 8 identified carbohydrates for cell commands and recognition) * Phytochemicals (Pigments identified in raw plant foods that are recognized by the National Cancer Institute). All come from raw fruits and vegetables and natural yogurt cultures etc and since it takes 53 peaches to get the same vitamin A from 2 peaches in 1950... we are deficient and need to supplement.
