IS IT POSSIBLE THAT FOOD RICH IN CALORIES PREDISPOSES TO HEART ATTACK?

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a highly dynamic event, which is associated with marked neuroendocrinological dysfunction apart form heart damage. The immediate trigger for heart attack is not known exactly. There is a marked increase in sympathetic activity, oxidative stress and deficiency of minerals as well as antioxidants, during heart attack. Clinical studies have reported an increased incidence of reinfarction, sudden death, coronary constriction, myocardial ischaemia and angina, during first quarter of the day when there is rapid withdrawal of vagal activity and increase in sympathetic tone.
