Can someone live with heart disease? And what do people mean when they say "It works __%"? How can I found out

Question

how much mines works?

Answer 1

People do lead a normal span of life with heart disease/s, depends upon their will power, which is a major factor.Those who give up die soon, general observation.
They mean how much % of your heart left ventricle pumping blood also known as ejection fraction or EF.
You can find out your % or EF by doing an echogram of your heart, it will give you a complete profile of your heart's status, OK.
Hope answered your question.

Yes, someone can live with different forms of heart disease. Most people do not know they have heart disease because the symptoms are often silent.
Heart disease and stroke
1st and 3rd leading causes of death in U.S.
•About 950,000 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each year, which
amounts to one death every 33 seconds.
•About 61 million Americans (almost one-fourth of the population) have some form of cardiovascular disease.
•Stroke alone accounts for the disability of more than 1 million Americans.

There is hope to living with heart disease and getting well. I found that drinking Xango juice may help. Xango juice is delicious and contains the whole magosteen fruit. The whole mangosteen fruit (as found in Xango Juice) is the source of dozens of different xanthones. Xanthones are a family of vigorous phtonutrients with powerful antioxidant properties that inhibit oxidation and help protect cells against the harmful effects of free radicals.

Oxidative damage is thought to play a critical role in
cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.
This has led to considerable interest in the antioxidant activity of
dietary compounds. The researchers have previously shown
that the xanthone, mangostin (found in mangosteen fruit),
can inhibit the oxidation of LDL, low density lipoprotein
(bad cholesterol). Researchers studied more xanthone
derived compounds and found enhanced antioxidant
activities.
Note: If the oxidation of LDL cholesterol can
be prevented or inhibited, then the LDL-cholesterol cannot
exert its “bad” effect and cause heart disease.

The oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play an
important role in atherosclerosis. The researchers
investigated the possible antioxidant effects of mangostin,
isolated from Garcinia mangostana (found in mangosteen
fruit), on the oxidation of human LDL (bad cholesterol).
From these results, it is concluded that mangostin is acting
as a free radical scavenger (“mop up” sponge) to protect the
LDL from oxidative damage in this in vitro system. In other
words, it is a potent antioxidant.

Answer 4

Of course.

The heart can have many things wrong with it.

Blocked arteries is the commonest. As long as they are open a little, you can live. Bypasses go around major blockages. Stents open severely narrowed ones.

The percentage can refer to the percentage of tissue still functioning, if some heart tissue has died. It can also refer to the ejection fraction, the amonut of blood pumped per contraction. That falls as tissue is lost, among other things.

An angiogram will allow doctors to estimate how well your works, but they won't do one on an otherwise healthy individual as there are some risks of complication.

Eliminate as many risk factors as possible, and get appropriate exercise. It could be too late for some things if you've had too many dietary sins.

Answer 5

I was born with Aortic Stenosis, have had two surgeries, but other than that I've had a normal life, heart-wise. Currently almost 20.
