Heart disease can arise from congenital defects, infection, narrowing of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure , or disturbances. The first stages of heart disease are lesions and cracks forming in the blood vessel walls normally at the points of highest pressure or stress (near the heart). The second stage is the body trying to repair itself by depositing fatty substances ( cholesterol , lipoproteins) inside the blood vessels to fill the cracks. Over time, without the proper body nutrient, vitamin C , to help keep the blood vessel walls from cracking and requiring constant repair, these fatty substances can begin to build up and clog the blood vessels causing stroke and heart attack.

McNeil Jr. The New York Times THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2005 NEW YORK 'It's a little bit in the guinea pig stage," Dr. Burton Cohen said. "I've only tried it on four people. Are you interested?" Cohen, a leading New York City radiologist, was proposing to slow down my pulse, inject iodine-based dye in my arm and photograph slices of my heart with his fastest CT scanner. "Absolutely," I said. Because he was still learning the technique, a novel method of diagnosing heart disease, the price was right: free. Insurers don't cover this procedure. My doctor had nominated me because I am a treatment-resistant patient. Each year at my annual physical, he begins with, "Well, you know my spiel," and tells me why I should be on statin drugs. Each year, when I refuse, he ends with a "well, it's your funeral" shrug.
