What is PT-INR monitoring? Cardiology Basics
INR is short for International Normalized Ratio of Prothrombin Time. It is also called PT-INR. The INR monitoring is used to monitor the dosage of vitamin K antagonists like warfarin. Vitamin K antagonists are used for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation as well as for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Non vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs), also known as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban do not need INR monitoring. Warfarin is routinely used when there is a mechanical prosthetic valve, to prevent valve thrombosis and thromboembolism. As of now, DOACs are not i...

Can dark chocolates keep heart disease away? Cardiology Basics
A study published in ‘Circulation’ – the flagship journal of American Heart Association, suggested that eating dark chocolate can decrease your risk for myocardial infarction.
Myocardial infarction is usually due to a coronary obstruction, though there are other varieties as well, according to the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. High oxidative stress and limited availability of antioxidants can cause endothelial damage in the arteries, leading to increased chances for a thrombosis.
Dark chocolates (which contain 70% cocoa) have lots of flavonoids – potent antioxidants which helps to overcome the oxi...

How to control hypertension without medications? Cardiology Basics
Non-pharmacological approaches to control hypertension are essential even in those who do need medications for control of hypertension. In those with newly detected mild degrees of hypertension, non-pharmacological methods will be more acceptable and often all that is needed for control of hypertension. Adding non-pharmacological measures to medications, will increase compliance as the individual gets a hope that there is a chance to get off medication.
One simple way to control hypertension is by reducing extra weight. Roughly the blood pressure might come down 1 mm Hg for every kilogram of weight reduction. Generally, a...

How to Shift Into a New Reality Faster
Last night I had a vivid dream where Rachelle and I were students in a spirituality seminar. The theme was about embodying your higher self. We were the only two people who showed up for it, waiting for the instructor to arrive. I realized that I showed up in my pajamas, and I thought to myself, Well that makes sense because my higher self surely likes pajamas. I don’t recall any part of the dream where I deliberately dressed that way, and my clothing morphed into a different outfit later in the dream, but that’s the nature of dreams. In a dream the flow of events can be very fluid and flexible.

Spanish Sofrito and the Mediterranean Diet
Sofrito topped flatbreads
In the largest study of its kind to date, the Mediterranean Diet has trumped a low fat diet in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The study was conducted in Spain, where participants assigned to the Mediterranean diet received free olive oil. They were also instructed to use sofrito – “a homemade sauce with garlic, onion, aromatic herbs, and tomato slow cooked in olive oil” – in their cooking two or more times a week.
Free Spanish olive oil and Sofrito as a required food group? I’d have moved to Spain to be in that study! But since that never happen...
