The publication of the book Heart Attack Rareness in Thyroid-Treated Patients by Broda 0. Barnes, Ph.D., M.D. and Charlotte W. Barnes, M. A. can only be taken to indicate that the authors and the publisher believe the American public and her physicians are gullible, uninformed, and lack intelligence. "Written for both the layman and the scientist interested in preventing premature heart attacks...

Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, can strike without warning. A myocardial infarction occurs when blood supply to a part of the myocardium (heart muscle) is interrupted, either by lack of blood flow, obstruction by a clot, or rupture of a plaque (a buildup of fat and other substances in the blood) in a coronary (heart) artery. Many individuals have coronary artery disease and...

ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION (I/R) injury plays a major role in the pathogenesis of cardiac complications, such as myocardial infarction, acute angina, heart transplantation, coronary artery bypass surgery, and balloon angioplasty. Increasing evidence has emerged that implicates cytochrome P-450 enzymes (CYPs) and their metabolites in cardiac I/R injury (8–10, 12–14, 20–22, 35). CYPs are responsible fo...

A successful application of a new intelligent system design approach called Multimethod in knowledge extraction and discovery in heart attack areas is presented in this paper. The results show that the Multimethod approach is a powerful and promising technique enabling the conformation of existing medical knowledge and more interestingly, also enabling the induction of new facts and hypothesis,...
