MEDICAL - How cholesterol clogs your arteries (atherosclerosis)

[arrowhead3k]

Atherosclerosis is a major cause of cardiovascular disease!!!!! Ha, ha, ha..what a load!

How do you the explain that many heartattack victims on autopsy show no atherosclerosis whatsoever?

17 million deaths annualy that could possibly be prevented if the real causes

(that are known of course) were treated instead!

[arrowhead3k]

Here’s a deep, dark secret that bypass surgeons hate to admit: When autopsies are performed on dead heartattack victims, they often find no blocked arteries at all!

Isn’t that curious? Everyone tells you that fatal heart attacks are always caused by hardened arteries. But post-mortems show us it’s just not so. Try INFECTIONS

Equally interesting:

More than 10 years ago, The American Journal of Cardiology reported that most patients with blocked arteries actually grow their own bypasses.

Thank you very much to the woman with the sexy voice this has helped me massively so I would like to just congratulate the people behind the animation aswell.

[ilovekungfupandapo]

i feel like im in health class. Haha great vid.

[prettykitty1982]

Great graphics....I'll think twice before I go to popeye's again!! I promise to eat healthier!!

[medicappharmacy]

Excellent illustration!

[shanecull]

I think you need to relax! yes LDL is a transporter but the more LDL you have, the more cholesterol is being transported by LDL, and so due to the harmful effects of LDL once oxidised etc...the LDL/Cholesterol COMPLEX is BAD! so to call it bad cholesterol may not be 100% correct but who cares, it makes people understand!

wohoW!!! very nice video

[daeymz]

Amazing video! Used it for my exams :D

[sternocleudomastoid]

Great job! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. kudos! :)

[erje1223]

nice video! Sexy voice, sounds like Hermione.....lol

[H4MD4N]

Should have mentioned the key terms; Atheroma Thrombosis Aneurysm and eventually finish off with Myocardial infarction. It would have helped me and more A level Bio students much more but good explanation of how cholesterol causes the arteries to become blocked up [Atheroma stage leading to thrombosis] then about how the arteries swell up [Aneurysm stage].

[toshanand15]

good illustration.

[toshanand15]

good illustration

[theg4tan]

very good illustration,

any solution for this?

[RomanceBad]

Mother's breast milk (yes, human breast milk) is fairly high in fat (of which 40%-50% is saturated) and cholesterol. I guess mother nature is trying to kill us in the crib eh ? (notice the sarcasm). Seriously, it still blows my mind how people think nature is a doofus and doesn't know what she's doing, and that some quacks' artificially made crappola products can help us better than the things she's already provided us with !

Thanks for your information! After reading your comment, i really checked up on it. Now i know that cholesterol really IS just one type of molecule, but there REALLY are good and bad cholesterol, right? it's just categorised according to whether it is transported in low-density (bad) or high density lipoproteins, right?

Amazing Video

[misanthroposy]

1:53 She says once this layer is damaged. Did she specify why it was damaged? People have been really misled as to how cholesterol actually works. And first off. Cholesterol is cholesterol. Their is no good and bad. LDL means low-density lipo-proteins. no where in that term is cholesterol stated. people get the proteins which only transport the cholesterol mixed up with the actual cholesterol. Look the information up. Their isn't enough room for me to write how cholesterol really works here.

HDL = High Density Lipoprotein. HDL is a PROTEIN that binds with cholesterol to carry away from the body to the liver to recycle using the blood vessels as a transportation system.

LDL = Low Density Lipoprotein. LDL is a PROTEIN that carries cholesterol to other parts of the body using the blood vessels as a medium, WHICH IS NOT EXPLAINED IN HERE!

It is assumed that the final destination of cholesterol is at the bl vessel, which is VERY WRONG!

[pharmacist2121]

You're right. Keep in mind that patients may have limited health literacy. It is important to communicate in such a way that we can highlight the significance of this silent disease of dyslipidemia in that it manifests clinically as AMI, AIS, etc. Grading language is important in order to emphasize the importance of medication compliance and lifestyle modifications in an understandable way to help our patients with primary and secondary prevention. Thank you for a great comment!

[arouny145]

this video really helpd for my courswork

[MrAltamashqureshi]

loved the video. i made my parents watch it. thnks...

[tanyabirkiv]

thx. i really like this video.

[TheZachRogers]

for a natural cholesterol solution - CholestProtect----

[jupiterscastle]

What the drug companies like this one don't want you to know is that most people who actually die from heart attacks had high levels of calcium deposits in the arteries. Its the calcium that makes the plaque harder and easier to break and block your arteries.

This video obviously only talks about cholesterol because its in their best interest to sell more cholesterol medicine.

Your body makes cholesterol, its needed, the problem is calcium, if you cut the calcium you cut your death risk

[DFresh215]

Decrease LDL, decrease ApoB, increase HDL (exercise).. this video is real info, no need to fight it

[misanthroposy]

@DFresh215 HDL is just a protein that takes the damaged cholesterol back to your liver, where cholesterol is manufactured and then the old cholesterol is recycled and turned back into new cholesterol. Your body isn't stupid. Eating cholesterol has little if anything to do with cholesterol levels in humans.

[007riyazkhan]

Excellent video...!!!!

[hairyfatslobpig]

I likes the video up to the point they mentioned remember to take your medicine. According to the New England Journal of medicine, about 50% of heart attack victims have normal cholesterol. Their is no evidence that a blood test showing high cholesterol means it will turn into to plaque. That is primarily your genes. Although many anti statins lower readings, there is no evidence to support they help in plaque prevention. Eating well, omega3's, vitamin C, low dose aspirin and exercise. Thats it

[buckwheat40]

no more french fries and burgers for me

[berenia7]

thx for the illustration, really i could not get a better understanding when reading articles.this is focused and well designed.

[Flippy92]

Outstanding video! Just a few notes: the innermost affected layer of the artery is called the tunica intima (composed of endothelial cells). The hardening of artery walls is caused by the death of smooth muscle cells in the tunica media and the deterioration of elastic fibers (then replaced by scar tissue). This hardening is called *arteriosclerosis.*

100%

[dominicdiazRN]

WoW !!!  great presentation and explained well tnx

[mightyelroy]

My Biology class really liked this one and wanted me to make a comment

[BrownnnEyes]

good vid. i havent watched all of it yet but should probably mention that LDL stands for low density lipoprotein and HDL stands for high density lipoprotein. most people watching this will have exams and have to know :)

[abhijith555]

Thank you for the presentation! It was very helpful and informative

[Gazbesarn]

Very informative, much better than wikipedia, thank you!

[litebug12345]

I started the program with the intention of taking Sterolyn for 90 instead of taking my cholesterol prescription meds. So that is what I'm doing. I have completed the 90 days with Sterolyn and the results are excellent. Total down from 276 to 196. LDL down from 203 to 134.

[chinchanchana]

Explains it all!!

all 3 lectures im revising , 5 mins of this just explains it even better. top vid thank u sooo much.

[sporos121]

awesome....i'll add it in my project!...of course i'll indicate my source don't worry!...again it 's awesome..thanks a lot!

[fredigrace]

Scary but worth watching and taking seriouly.

Thank you.

[HawthorneHeart]

Thanks for posting this, it's really helped with my AS revision :)

[cristian6440]

Lástima que el video está en Inglés. No entendí nada. Pero de todas maneras muy interesante verlo e imaginar lo que explican por las gráficas.

[julianajuliana]

go learn English...it's not tha hard

[heller78]

While I do agree it's a pretty animation, how can anyone seriously claim this clip contains sufficient information for a medical exam dealing with atherosclerosis? It might help high school students writing a short paper or patients trying to grasp their condition, but a future medical practitioner must know more about atherosclerosis than this.

[D3ssiato]

Very nice video, i think that this is great for any student willing to do a project on this problem for it provides more than enough information to do a great job.

[aliensexfiend]

5/5

[simplesmentealice]

perfect!!!!!!!!! thank you so much... its an excellent summary for someone studying for an exam on atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.

[megalomani]

heart disease has never been so psychadelic! Way to go AstraZeneca!

Seriously a very informative and well illustrated description of atherosclerosis.

[xGemNutx]

Great video! Thanks alot!

[indifel]

brilliant +100000 thankyou

[aritra39]

indeed, the animation is awesome~

[Denrickman]

Targeted to med students or those that have no life that reads medical journals and manuals as a hobby like me... Thats probably the best video on atherosclerosis... and the 3D is awsome! :D

[xdarealistkillax]

Very helpful Videos- premed student

[justawordaway]

Nursing students like me.

[draumar]

Very nice video!!
