I have to ask
AusShane
concepts in Cardiology.
At present all I can see are multiple adverts for ebay type crap plus
screeds of meaningless posts from some religious nutter purporting to
be a doctor.
Is there any real cardiology being discussed here?
If so its is being polluted by the above adverts and rants.

Be hungry by eating 32ozs of crap or less per day per our resident quack
and you won't need a cardiologist. Not only that, you won't need much
toilet paper, if any.
How's that for discussion?

Here"s an interesting new study

New study links vitamin D deficiency to cardiovascular disease and
death
Study finds inadequate levels of Vitamin D may significantly increase
risk of stroke, heart disease and death
"MURRAY, UT – While mothers have known that feeding their kids milk
builds strong bones, a new study by researchers at the Heart Institute
at Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City suggests that
Vitamin D contributes to a strong and healthy heart as well – and that
inadequate levels of the vitamin may significantly increase a person's
risk of stroke, heart disease, and death, even among people who've
never had heart disease.
For more than a year, the Intermountain Medical Center research team
followed 27,686 patients who were 50 years of age or older with no
prior history of cardiovascular disease. The participants had their
blood Vitamin D levels tested during routine clinical care. The
patients were divided into three groups based on their Vitamin D
levels – normal (over 30 nanograms per milliliter), low (15-30 ng/ml),
or very low (less than 15 ng/ml). The patients were then followed to
see if they developed some form of heart disease.
Researchers found that patients with very low levels of Vitamin D were
77 percent more likely to die, 45 percent more likely to develop
coronary artery disease, and 78 percent were more likely to have a
stroke than patients with normal levels. Patients with very low levels
of Vitamin D were also twice as likely to develop heart failure than
those with normal Vitamin D levels......."

pages I've found on cardiology. Still, far less often than you'd
expect from the newsgroup name.
I've seen little sign that any doctors actually practicing
cardiology are participating in the newsgroup.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your comprehension
levels are sinking as quickly as your credibility, would it? My bet it
is.
