Larry King Live: Dr. Ornish on Heart Disease (Part 2)

Описание: Larry King looks inside the experience of open heart surgery and the fact that may people who end up having it never experienced symptoms of heart disease. King asks Dr. Ornish about Bill Clinton's experience.

“I can’t really talk about the President because I work with him, but I will say what’s important. What many people don’t realize is that angioplasty and stents, unless you’re unstable, and from what I’ve read about the President’s condition, he needed one. But 90—95 % of the people who are getting stents are getting them because there’s some concern that they’re not getting enough blood. But the randomized trials like in the New New England Journal of Medicine, the Courage study, showed that stents do not prolong life and don’t even prevent heart attacks, and the main reason for getting them is to make the chest pain better. But we’ve shown and others have shown that if you change your lifestyle sufficiently, you can reduce angina or chest pain by 90-95 % simply by changing diet and lifestyle. The only side effects are good ones."
