A 38 year old non-smoker and mildly overweight male sustained documented myocardial infarction in a hospital in December of 2002. He had family risk factors for coronary artery disease and was very partial to sodas and other junk food, but outside of the event, no other medical conditions were present at the time. One month following his hospital discharge, his nuclear exercise stress test was consistent with both the suffered myocardial infarction and compromised blood supply, to another area of the heart, with the latter placing him at risk of another infarction.

The shortest way to Rome, or to any destination, will always be through a straight line. The shortest way to solve or prevent the great majority of chronic diseases is only through going straight to afflicted organs and properly identify and address their genuine causes of dysfunction. Anything else seems to be just some interesting medical actions merely for disease labels.
