Why Hearts Fail After Surgery

Why Hearts Fail After Surgery
Studying the stages of non-apparent functions of circulatory activity after heart attacks to determine just why some operations fail, scientists* have suggested that a reduction in the body's anti-oxidant defenses may lead to heart failure. The defenses were comprised of three enzymes with long names (sorry about that,) Super Oxide Dismutase, Glutathione Peroxidase and Catalase.

DETAILS: The scientists did not suggest remedies for the decrease in the three. However, they are discussed in a book which if you click here you can find out about. CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO ORDER THE BOOK "WHAT YOUR DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW COULD KILL YOU
