10 months ago, woke up from afternoon nap just not feeling right. Had what I thought was indigestion, but just seemed too high up. Quickly progressed to cold sweats and dizziness when my wife called 911. Stayed conscious right up to rolling into the ER where I went into V fib and full arrest. 18 minutes of CPR, including 8 shocks and I was back! Right to cath lab to get 2 stents, then 6 days of recovery in intensive care. I have since changed the way I live and view life. Dont wait till this happens to you to make improvements! I was 47, and lucky enough to get a 2nd shot at life.

That's a great story, I'm glad you caught it in time and that you're ok!! Last week in semiology class my teacher (cardiologist) taught us that heart-related pain can notoriously manifest as shoulder/arm pain and that it can also go as high as the jaw and rarely even as low as the lower back... I think that the cardiologist who wrote you off really dropped the ball there!!
Retired physician here who enjoys your concise clear explanations about how the body works (or not). I particularly like passing them on and discussing with friends, family, and sometimes strangers, what you were teaching. This one came at a particularly apropos time for a friend who is doing cardiac rehab post major MI. She is very afraid of exercise causing another, despite the staff reassuring her. I think your video will help allay, at least some of, her concerns...no, really honestly, Fears. Thank you. I think I'd enjoy dissection again now that the Pressure is would be off and I could "pick fascia" all I want, to make my cadaver look as elegant as yours does😂, rather than just have it done and the knowledge stuffed in.

Having been active in the fitness industry for over 50 years (I'm now retired), I've witnessed different forms of heart attacks. For the folk that run outdoors alone and especially in secluded areas like forests, just because you have your cell phone with you, you think will be fine. Having a major heart attack, the pain is so extreme ( been compared to an elephant sitting on your chest) that your entire energy is used just trying to breathe. You sweat profusely with fever-like symptoms, amongst others You cannot move a finger let alone phone out. My message is, if you must run alone, always have identification with you and let someone else know where you'll be.

About 4 years ago, hubby (a smoker in his 60's) had all the symptoms of a heart attack - pain, paleness, sweating, dizziness as he was heading to bed; but, 2 mins later, he was fine. He touched his toes a couple of times to prove to me he was fine (I retired from nursing early due to recurring shoulder injuries), so an ambulance was never called. The next morning, he felt like he might have the flu, so I booked him in to see our GP that morning with instructions for him to talk about what happened last night. He had bloods taken. At 2pm, they called him back to the clinic for an ECG then sent him via ambulance to hospital an hour away (we live in a rural town). He'd had a massive left-sided heart attack that should have killed him. The reason why it didn't was the "evidence" of several previous but smaller heart attacks that went unnoticed by him (and me), that induced his heart to create extra blood vessels. So essentially, his heart decided that night was the night for the switch over to the "newer plumbing". He ended up with a couple of stents and a couple of weeks in hosp before coming home. It's fascinating how the body can heal itself in the right conditions, even more so when the conditions are hampered (by smoking and sleep apnoea, etc. that hubby has) by lifestyle conditions. He is VERY lucky. WE are very lucky.

One year's training: the first six weeks were spent in a classroom before working on the wards under supervision for the remainder of the training year; by the end of which, I was a "State Enrolled Nurse" in 1988 in Australia (these days the title is "Registered Nurse, Division 2"). It was my job to do the observations, showers, dressings, bed-making, admissions and discharges, cleaning and other hands-on duties. I took orders from Registered Nurses (Division 1). I did not deal with medications, drawing blood or doctors on rounds. I suppose you could say I was the personal carer for the patients/residents. Here's a fun fact: I have nursed a lovely elderly lady who felt her angina pain in HER CHIN.

It surprises me how God designed the human body to do so many repair jobs I never would have thought possible. Bypassing clogged arteries was one of them.
Early treatment for heart attack was forced bed rest and the blood clots that went with it. We don’t know everything yet but I’m glad we’ve gotten so much better at treating them.
As someone who has a bit of health anxiety, I appreciate these videos. As they say, knowledge is power. Knowing how these things work and what we should/shouldn’t be doing reassures me that I’m on track with my fitness habits. (Can’t say I entirely agree that insurance can be had by giving up Starbucks though, for most people that’s quite a leap in cost. I went my entire 20’s and 30’s without any kind of health insurance and it wasn’t because I was spending the money on overpriced coffee.)

Yeah. I was thinking that. I can't afford marketplace insurance much less medical costs without insurance every month. Plus I only buy a Starbucks once every few months.

I grew up around old people who were constantly going on about their health issues and medication, the same people that seemingly cant do or change anything about themselves to save themselves. It's not hard to do the minimal amount of cardio recommended, its not hard to add healthier things to your diet while working on cutting out the junk you need to. Its really easy to see who actually looked after themselves when it mattered as they get older, don't complain about blood pressure and everything else wrong with you if you never did what we all need to do for ourselves when it mattered.
What many people don't understand is the importance of not being dehydrated too often. People forget that the heart is a muscle and being dehydrated makes your muscles weaker and that also means your heart. Your blood gets thicker, it constricts your blood vessels, it increases plaque.

On top of that about 20% to 25% of the population have a genetic thing called LP(a) that is the real problem for many (if they have damaged arteries from smoking, stress or excess blood sugar that is). But there’s little in the way of medicines to be had to treat LP(a) so it’s largely ignored by doctors etc. We are starting to get things like PCSK9 inhibitors come to market so I expect the medical industry to suddenly wake up to the real facts over the coming decade - as there will be serious money to be made - we should finally get the truth that refined carbs and toxic seed oils are major issues not dietary fat.
Caldwell Esselstyn showed that heart attacks are extremely rare if total cholesterol is below 150 and LDL is under 70. This means diet, too. Too many people try to exercise their way out of a bad diet and it doesn't work.

My grandmother at 65 had a widowmaker at her doctors office, suddenly, optimal timing considering where she was, but there was no saving her. I remember her visually a few hours later, blood out of the nose, hair shocked. At her funeral, she was beautiful, they call it the widow maker for a reason, and It is nice to hear that some survived it. I will tell all of you though, she never had an issue with her wrists, healthy weight, not athletic, but a few weeks prior, she complained about carpal tunnel like syndrome. My aunt worked there and was with her, witnessed it, and my mamaw said that her wrists were really hurting her and suddenly fell back. Sooooo I ask my mom all the time, any wrist issues? Any strange physical developments? She just had a very mild heart attack a year ago, and she has been very aggressive about health checkups the last several years, likely preventing what her mother had. I am 40, she is 70, and these memories have passed on. Not a single cigarette has ever touched my mouth either, ever, in my entire life

Awesome lecture, Johnathan. I've seen many lectures on the heart, but the moment you pulled up the aorta to show the LAD and RAD branching was a revelation. Ain't nothing like the real thing.
Having worked in a cardiac cath lab for many years, anecdotally, I never saw a serious blockage in anyone under 30. One of the most amazing things I saw was someone who had a significant blockage probably for a long time develop collateral circulation where the heart forms new capillary vessels to the heart area being deprived of blood. The key to heartattack treatment is to prevent damage, which is why we had a 90 minute door to balloon time during off hours. By decreasing time the ventricles don't lose there function and this prevents CHF and other sudden death condition from arrhythmias. Low carb diet and fasting can save you lots of grief. Reduction inflammation.

I’ve been with 2 people before I was told they died from a heart attack. One was a friend. I’d never known the first symptoms of a heart attack. It wasn’t a hot day, she was sweating profusely, but tried to hide it, she also lost the color in her face, I asked her if she was ok, she said she was fine, I told her that maybe she should sit down, so she did. She had some labored breathing, she said she was a bit nauseous, I asked her if I should call 911, she said that it wasn’t that serious. She said she must be getting sick. I was visiting her from another state and had to leave to catch a plane. Secretly, I told her husband that she should go to the hospital, and that she doesn’t look good at all. Then I had to leave. I was informed a day later that after I left she went to bed and passed away later that night from a heart attack in her sleep. The other was a male customer. I had learned my lesson from my friend. I didn’t know male symptoms were different. He had sudden pain in his left shoulder, his face looked grey to me, but he also had labored breathing. He was in a lot of pain, totally different to my friends symptoms. I told him I am calling 911. He yelled NO. Even his wife said no. After I left, I called 911, to ask them about the defiance against calling 911 when it’s need, and told them the situation. They asked for the address and as far as I know, 911 did respond to him. I found out later that week from his wife, after she told me that I had lost them as customers, that he had a heart attack, and had surgery. I said “ You’re welcome”

I watched many IOHA videos and found them all very informative and well worth my time but I have to admit the anatomical heart along with the detailed explanation associated with the different types of heart related issues makes this presentation my favorite !
Really enjoy your programs. Retired in October and have been trying to increase overall health since. Had bio impedance checked and while I lost a lot of fat I also lost 8 pounds of lean muscle tissue. Rather discouraging after working out 5 times a week for 1-2 , five days a week.
Tysm for this video 🙏🏼 Already knew the ins and outs regarding this topic but the way you went trough this material made it stick even better in the back of my mind 💪🏼 Still love to see a video on the rotator cuff since I lack knowledge there and can’t really visualize that part of my body ☺️

I had a ruptured brain aneurysm 19 years ago. I thought I was healthy. I was 38 at the time. Workout and was eating healthy. I know this is not related to the heart but everyone should get physicals and have their blood checked. I ignored having a stiff neck before the rupture. One of the symptoms something was wrong with me. Please don't ignore something that might not be healthy. I wish I would have known about the aneurysm before it ruptured. Never take your health for granted. I'm very lucky to still be here. I also didn't have health insurance. Because I thought I was young and health. Big mistake. You only have one body. Please take care of it.

thats why this exercise nonsense is bullshit also 'eating healthy' is bullshit too. eating healthy is avoiding sugar, grains and most toxic vegetables sprayed with pesticides. we need good fat and cholesterol - the proper diet is animal based, and a more sedentary lifestyle is ideal - i know - the complete opposite of what the government tells you, but if you want to live the longest and healthiest you do the exact OPPOSITE of what the system says!

My friend was just under 30yrs old and had to have open heart surgery. You're never too young to watch out for the signs. She didn't feel right, light headed, nauseous, weak. Luckily someone with a medical background asked her the right questions as she sat outside trying to "get some air" and called 911

I had a physical several years ago as part of my plan to increase my self care. I learned that my cholesterol and triglyceride levels were very high. It has taken years of consistent effort to reduce these levels. I have multiple goals I'm working toward and many things going on in my life. I just want to let others know that it is better to start taking care of yourself ASAP so you know where you stand and to be patient with the process. You are making lifestyle changes and it takes time to really cement new habits. Everyone has different factors and situations, just meet yourself where you are and stay consistent in your annual physical, labs, and any follow up appointments with your doctor or specialists. I'm proud to say that I have been able to reduce my blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. I'm still working toward losing weight, but I feel better knowing that my internal stuff is improving. So even being overweight is not enough to signal things are wrong internally. I am still on medication for bp and cholesterol, but my doctor has decreased my dosage due to my decreased need. Take care of yourself, you are worth it !

Not sure what they did next but they did a procedure to treat the stroke symptoms and restored all of her functions. They had her up walking in the hallway the next day. Amazing!!!😊

I had a 99.9% blocked "widowmaker." I was 35 and exercised regularly. I'm almost 37 and healthy as a horse now with medicarion therapy. I'm lucky to be alive. Get your blood levels checked. In my case, it was hereditary. It's worth it to make healthy choices.
Absolutely fantastic presentation, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos.
Very informative! I thought I was having a heart attack one time (middle age, overweight smoker), because I had symptoms except for pain, which I'd read people (women, in particular) don't always get. I decided to check my blood glucose (I'm not diabetic), and it was too low. I ate something w/some carbs, and I was fine. The symptoms fooled me. The body is so complicated!
Thank you for posting this video. I am currently having concern with my heart right now. Everything you mentioned about the blockage and clots, I've actually described feeling it happening inside of my chest to my wife and other doctors. The problem is I went to an ER and have been released do to my condition not being life threatening. This video has helped me see others do understand early prevention. Bless your heart!
I ignored a good diet and exercise for much of my early adult life. I was only 190 pounds, but had a heart attack (that widow maker and a 2nd area) at 31. 31! had two stents put in, and as mentioned in the 8:30 section, I fully recovered. Focused on rehab, started regularly exercising (and still do) and changed nearly all my eating habits. I am currently on medication for blood pressure and cholesterol, and the daily baby aspirin. My advice: don't wait! Get checked regularly, and take exercise and your diet seriously. It can take time since you need to find what works for you, but its a worthwhile journey. The video does nail the general points you should follow at a minimum.

I coach club running at my school and one of my fellow coaches experienced some chest discomfort while running. They did the tests and he had a double bypass within days. I believe that had he not been exercising, he wouldn't have known he had a problem until he had a heart attack. My dad and aunt had similar experiences, where exercising gave them a warning much earlier than had they been sedentary. As an update, my co-coach was cleared for running by his cardiologist just a few weeks ago and is already back to 12 minute miles. His baseline fitness made everything, including recovery, easier.

I have high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. My body also has a hard time processing heat. With regular light exercises I feel relatively well, if I overwork myself or it gets too hot, I get problems and can't do anything anymore. I also have edema in my legs, which is why I have to move, but too much also hurts. I've been told that all of these things increase my risk of a heart attack and if I'm over exerting myself, it's not good. But doing nothing and not moving is also not good, since that also increases the risk. You always have to find a good balance for your body to be healthy

In addition to the prevention of atherosclerotic plaque build up in the heart mentioned in this video, exercise training can also stimulate the production of heat shock proteins in the heart and antioxidant enzymes that help protect a heart from damage when exposed to stressful environments. In other words, the stress that exercise puts on the cells of the heart equips the cells to deal with stress better, such as the stress that might lead to a heart attack.

I had a heart attack and RCA stent in 2011, at age 59. My weight is 153 lbs. This was very informative to me to know where the stent is. I go to the gym three days a week and sprint for two on a soccer field which is debris free and you can run bare foot to keep from falling. Another interesting point was learning about capillary growth from exercise, more the reason to do so.
Love the channel! You guys explain things so clearly. I hope when I get to the anatomy and physiology part of my degree path my professors will be just as clear. DPT here I come

My husband had a heart attack about eight years ago. His symptoms were just that he felt out of breath and looked like 💩. That was it. He has moderate dementia so he didn’t come to me right away because he thought he was more less OK. But when I looked at him my spidey senses went off and we went to the ER immediately. By the time we got there he looked OK and his breathing was normal again. But the ER did the tests and it came back with elevated enzymes which surprised everyone including the ER Dr. Here’s an important note: He’s been a diabetic for three decades. His blood sugar was out of control in the past, and that blew out the nerves that send pain signals from his heart to his brain. THAT is why he felt no pain. He had always been a relatively serious athlete. A runner and a black belt. THAT, it turned out, saved him because he had a lot of good vascularization in his heart in the smaller vessels, so very little of his heart muscle died. A triple bypass, and a few months of cardiac rehabilitation and he’s been pretty healthy since, all things considered. We did purchase an exercise machine called a NuStep which has helped immensely. He can get a decent daily workout - safely - in our living room. tl;dr Long time diabetics might not feel any pain when having a heart attack. So pay attention to the other symptoms and take them seriously. Also? Exercise helps, it really does.

Thanks for the informative presentation and absolutely love your teaching. In this discussion though, you stress the lower cholesterol needs and not the triglycerides or HDL/Triglycerides ratio for heart health.

High Triglycerides are clearly the trigger and I think it should be included. I'm a 64 year old Triathlete of normal weight and yes I found your video well worth my time. Keep up the good work.

Had to have bypass, but I was back to my full workout regimen within 6 months after the surgery!

I worked out 6 days a week for about two years (after I retired). An hour of cardio on a recumbent bike, a two-mile walk with the dogs, and some weight training. I also had bypass surgery 11-28-2022. My EKG was normal. I had none of the common symptoms. When the blood work came back I immediately went to the cath lab. Scheduled for CABG the next day. Thanks to the surgeons that saved my life. Back up to the 1-hour cadio on the bike. Walks are coming along, but strength is still way behind. Just lucky to still be here.

Had a massive major panic attack at work. I guess my symptoms from anxiety can also mimic a heart attack because it certainly felt like one. It felt not so much pain and my chest but an elephant sitting on my chest. Tremendous pressure numbness and tingling and contractions in my hands. Not my arms but hands. Blood pressure was really high and anyways the doctor ended up running a lot of blood tests and everything came back normal. Troponin cardiac enzymes. Everything was normal. Only thing was abnormal was an irregular heart rhythm. He said it's an AV block

I've lived this. Had a stent put in at 45. I was a walker and cyclist, but a bit overweight. Felt pain under left armpit during a beach boot camp I started. It was January, so put it down to cold exertion. When this happened walking up steep hills I got checked out. GP found nothing, nurse did ECG found nothing, hospital repeated, found nothing. Only when on an inclined treadmill during ECG they discovered it. They didn't let me go home. Had angiogram which showed a single blockage, 40% of heart not receiving blood. Right side. They inserted a stent the next day, kept overnight. Now, I'm 52, run 3 times a week, do weights twice a week and in good shape. Dropped 30lbs of weight, healthy BMI, and on statin and aspirin, with annual GP checkups as all over 50s do in UK. Stent procedure very straight forward. Investigation was 20 minutes first day, insertion about 40 I think. Awake throwout, fascinating watching it on the screen. Painkiller drip (left arm) was more painful than the procedure happening in right arm. So I stopped it after a bit. Clamp around wrist (to let wound close) was fairly uncomfortable for many hours, but otherwise an easy procedure.
Thank you. This was very helpful and easy to understand. Great job. ❤
