I have had two people 40's and 50's die recently from heart attacks. I wonder if these days can you get like a secondary artificial heart on purpose. I imagine there is a space problem, maybe it could be placed elsewhere like in the guts but idk... My side of the family all died out from heart problems and I'm in line/too stupid to stop eating salt.
- sumanmd 5y agoThe disease is more common than we think.
- nradov 5y agoHeart attacks aren't caused by the heart itself failing but rather by arterial occlusion. Even if it were possible to build such a secondary artificial heart (it isn't) the risks of implantation surgery would far outweigh any possible benefits. Salt is an essential nutrient. Hypertension does increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, but eating salt doesn't necessarily cause hypertension. The issue is with osmolality rather than quantity. (And genetics area huge factor.) https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson2/ https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson2/
