Simple Non-Invasive Screening or Myocardial Diseases by Detecting High Concentrations of Troponin T,Homocyst(e)ine,Often Associated with Cardiac Viral and/or Bacterial Infections,& Significant Disease of these Cardiovascular Risk Factors Found after Acupuncture on Stomach 36

Abstract

Since the mid-1990’s, the increased level of blood human cardiac Troponin T and Homocyst(e)ine as important cardiovascular risk factors has been widely recognized. For example, if some patient has developed chest pain, and if the blood level of cardiac Troponin T is markedly increased or repeated Troponin T level shows a tendency of significant increase over a few hours, one has to consider that the patient has a very high risk for myocardial infarct Similarly, a significant increase in the blood level of Homocyst(e)ine, which is known to stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, a major factor in alherogenesis. and impairs the production of endothelium derived relaxing factor is also considered to be an importanl cardiovascular risk factor Hyperhomocyst(e)inemia has been recognized as an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, ischaemic cerebrovascular disease, premature peripheral artery disease, thromboembolic vascular disease, and spontaneous pneumotrax. all of which often result from dietary deficiency of folate, vitamine B12. and/or vitamine B6. The author found that these 2 cardiovascular risk factors are often associated with Human Herpes Virus Type 6, Coxsackie Virus A-9, Coxsackie Virus A-24, Cytomegalo Virus. Coxsackie B-1 ∽6. and Chlamydia Pneumoniaes. with the occasional localized infection of Chlamydia Trachomatis.
