Cardiac Care The goal of cardiac enhancement and support is, first, to recognize that tissue repair requires proper nutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) in every biochemical step. Deficiencies of building blocks lead to a deficiency in regeneration/repair of tissue. Secondly, test to ascertain any nutritional imbalances. Thirdly, based on test results make recommendations which should correct any nutritional imbalance. Consultation concerning proper levels of work, exercise, and relaxation/rest is a major component of cardiac enhancement. In an effort to provide optimal support we use whole food nutrients with the natural cofactors necessary for metabolism and utilization in the human body. Why would vitamin C be recommended for heart patients? Vitamin C may be used in some cases in order to provide support for repair of the endothelial tissue (inner lining of blood vessels). As far back as 1939 vitamin C was known as a protector of endothelial and connective tissue.1 It is interesting to note that in most cases synthetic vitamin C does not protect the inner lining of blood vessels the way natural whole food vitamin C does since synthetic C does not contain the P factors found in the properly prepared vitamin C complex from a natural source.2 Why are postmenopausal women susceptible to a higher rate of sudden cardiac death? Women very frequently have uniquely different early warning signs of an impending heart attack than do men. Unusual fatigue, sleep patterns disturbed and shortness of breath are often the only signs of an impending heart attack experienced by women. These unique symptoms are at times not considered as signs of an impending heart attack. This can lead to a delay in providing appropriate cardiac care. Women and their doctors should to be aware of these unique symptoms so appropriate medical intervention can be initiated in a timely manner in order to save lives.
