For cardiac freaks only How are heart attacks caused by the Kawasaki Effect? What does it do? OK. A doctor named Kawasaki discovered this in Japan in 1967. Unexplained serious illnesses occurring in children between the ages of three and eight, and occasionally as late as the teens, can leave the sick person with permanent heart damage. This damage is almost always an expanding, or "ballooning" of the artery close to the heart. This expansion weakens the artery. It also means that microscopic "platelets" will park in the "corrugations" within the artery. Eventually one or two of these will break off and go straight to the heart causing a "mild" heart attack; one that cannot be seen on an electrocardiogram even while the heart attack is going on. My attack lasted for a day and a half and my EKGs showed zero. The only test that shows it is an enzyme test. The victim will feel an extreme tightness in the chest, numbness in the exremities particularly the left arm, shortness of breath for no reason, and dizzyness. No pain, at least in my case.

Cure? Well blood has to be drastically thinned, the tiny clot dissolved, and then you will be on blood thinners for the rest of your life. To find out in advance you actually have to have a doctor "Looking" for the expansion. My prior tests had shown the expansion but it is so minor that no one caught it.

Kawasaki Syndrome. Less chlorestoral means nothing, exercise ditto, good weight won't help. We are talking the smallest possible clot breaking loose. Just so you know. Go here for a Google search.
