Tall people are less likely to suffer from heart attacks because their arteries are clogged less than people with low growth. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from the United States.
high growth
Researchers at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation decided to find out whether the level of associated "weed" artery plaques with the growth of man. It is known that the number of these plaques depends
risk of heart attack . It turned out that
high growth beneficial for cardiovascular health, since these people the amount of plaque in the arteries was 30% less than that for the low that shows a computer tomography. In total the study involved 2703 patients.
"The potential link between cardiovascular disease and the growth of human was found in several studies, but the science does not know about the mechanism of this connection, - said study author Michael Miadema. - We have come to the conclusion that the growth depends on the degree of the blocked artery atherosclerotic plaques and risk of heart attack . The amount of data determined by plaque contact based determination of the concentration of calcium in the coronary arteries. "
In the calculation of adjustments should be made depending on the sex of the patient, as women traditionally inferior to men. But even with these differences, as well as those risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as age, smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes, the link between growth and "clogged" arteries was more than obvious. Previously, scientists have assumed that short people shorter coronary arteries, which will undergo any age and pathological changes. (READ MORE)
