Because the heart is so well protected from outside danger, monitoring the heart can be a challenge. Medical scientists have several ways of "seeing" the heart without actually having to open the chest. Typically, open heart surgery is performed only as the last resort.
With Contact Reflex Analysis several reflex points may be active. These include:
Heart conditions can be treated nutritionally. The most common supplements indicated are:
| Cardio-Plus® is a special combination product containing the vitamin complexes E2, B,and G; plus bovine heart PMG ™ extract. Cardio-Plus contains 24-mg of Coenzyme Q10 per tablet. Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in numerous metabolic activities and is vital for the healthy functioning of a strong heart and cardiovascular system.* |
| Cardiotrophin PMG® is uniquely formulated to help maintain the healthy functioning of the heart. The Protomorphogen™ extracts found in this product contain units of the cellular "blueprint" assembly. These concentrated components of cell chromosomes are the primary facilitators of regular cell growth, repair, and function. Scientific literature establishes the relationship between cell growth and differentiation controlled specific growth factors.* |
| Cataplex® E2is a glandular extract that contains an important component of the vitamin E complex. It is a natural phospholipid concentrate, high in chromatin material and trace elements. This concentrate contains nutrients that support healthy oxygen metabolism in addition to protective antioxidants.* |
| Garlic (organically grown) enjoys a long history of supporting healthy cardiovascular function and can help maintain normal blood lipid levels. Garlic is beneficial in maintaining the healthy flow of blood throughout the circulatory system. Garlic also proves a powerful protector against cell damage from free radical assault. Sulfur containing compounds such as those found in garlic can help maintain healthy cell growth and division.* |
To monitor the heart, a doctor begins by touching the chest. If the tip of the heart can be felt pushing against the chest, the heart may be enlarged. Thumping lightly on the chest gives an idea of the heart's shape. Your body's vital statistics also tell how well the heart is working.
Next, the doctor places the stethoscope on the chest to hear the sound of the heart. The normal heart sounds, lub and dub, can be heard. Any unusual sounds can also be heard. Heart arrhythmias and murmurs are two possibilities. An arrhythmia is an irregular pattern of the heart's beat. A murmur indicates that blood is seeping through the closed valve separating the atrium and ventricle.
An x-ray machine passes rays through the chest to make a shadow picture of the heart. The x-ray shows the size and position of the heart. It can also show any obvious deformities.
Modern technology has provided even clearer pictures of the heart. Echocardiography and Electrocardiography are two techniques that provide detailed information about the heart without causing any real discomfort to the patient.
If these procedures do not provide enough information, exploratory procedures may need to be performed. Cardiac catheterization and angioplasty are two common methods for exploring the heart. The last resort, of course, is open heart surgery.
