Although its action is national, the American association of the heart occupies a place of weight in the field of the health worldwide. And his recommendations are followed by a significant number of health professionals around the world. But recently, an American cardiologist has confessed incredible things about the instructions given by the American Heart Association (AHA). Check out all his shocking revelations in this article!
A few months ago, the American Heart Association updated its guidelines for cardiovascular disease. And many people who were previously considered healthy, have been diagnosed with hypertension or high cholesterol overnight. Between supporters and detractors, this change has sparked a great debate in the ranks of doctors and health experts. Here's what an American cardiologist has revealed about the dangers of the new AHA guidelines.
What are the changes made by the American Heart Association?
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology are constantly changing their guidelines for the prevention and diagnosis of heart disease. But their latest update on high blood pressure has been a real shock for healthcare professionals around the world. Indeed, their instructions are not followed all over the world right here at home, or our health authorities are inspired by their guidelines.
Patients were only diagnosed with high blood pressure when the systolic blood pressure was 140 mmHg or higher, and their diastolic blood pressure exceeded 90 mmHg. The AHA now considers that all patients should be diagnosed with high blood pressure. who has a systolic pressure equal to or greater than 130 mm Hg, or a diastolic pressure exceeding 80 mm Hg, must be diagnosed with high blood pressure.
According to the AHA, this change will help doctors establish a premature diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, and avoid any side effects that may result from a late diagnosis. But Dr. Barbara Roberts does not believe for a single second the arguments of the AHA ...
Barbara Roberts, American cardiologist, president of the cardiac center at Miriam Hospital in the United States, and author of several books in the field of cardiovascular disease, recently broke the silence on the subject of new guidelines issued by the AHA , and his revelations may make you frown!
In an interview with the American newspaper Convergence RI, Barbara Roberts did not hesitate to express her disagreement with the new guidelines published by the AHA. The latter, even questioned the honesty of the association by calling it a propaganda weapon of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
"The new guidelines from the American Heart Association are based on false science and misinterpretation of data. The AHA has become a propaganda weapon owned by the pharmaceutical industry. It is shameful ! The administration of drugs for high blood pressure for people who are not affected can cause a lot of dangerous side effects, they make patients to sell drugs "
"Because of this change in guidelines, we will have at least a quarter of a million new diabetics, and as many as 10 percent of patients who consume statins will have serious muscle problems. We will also see a host of other side effects, such as cognitive dysfunction, liver damage, and increased risk of kidney disease. "
It should be noted that when the AHA announced its changes to cholesterol-related diseases in 2013, the number of Americans who started taking statin therapy increased dramatically. The change in instructions related to the diagnosis of hypertension has meanwhile increased the number of American hypertensives by 31 million.
"Patients" struggle to hear their complaints of memory problems or muscle pain, and doctors encourage them to resume treatment to "save their lives"!
However, muscle pain is a side effect of doctors: 15 to 50% of patients are concerned.
Today, doctors do not dare to stop treatment, for fear of being prosecuted because it does not fit the line of official recommendations.
Satin does not improve life expectancy, he concludes: official recommendations should be reviewed , but this does not help the business of laboratories.
