The top killer of Black men in America: heart disease
More younger men are developing heart problems and while heart disease can be detected and prevented through regular primary care, many Black men don't seek it.
heart disease is the top killer of black men in america it's becoming more and more prevalent in younger age groups while it can be detected and prevented through regular primary care many black men don't seek it out to drive home the importance of early detection one man shared his story with eric king in hopes you'll check in with your doctor right now in 2007 deandre gaines found himself dizzy with his heart pounding on my way to work one morning and just didn't feel right hours later he woke up in an emergency room they told me i was going having heart failure deandre was 28 years old he ended the day with a new pacemaker implanted in his heart it was what you might call a bad day terrible it wouldn't be the last of the bad days depression continued health struggles and incarceration plagued him for several years by 2020 his heart and this time his body were failing all of his organs were starting to fail if he had not gotten to us he probably wouldn't have made it let me see your equipment for you kimberly vessels is deandre's heart failure nurse practitioner and part of the norton healthcare team that implanted deandre with a vad machine which is essentially a mechanical heart when people think about heart failure they think of it as an older white male disease it is for that population for the older white males but we see younger african american males with this disease at age 43 deandre's life now depends on rechargeable 18-hour batteries if i leave the house i have to put on battery packs when i'm in the house i have to plug myself into a wall unit you know that was a an adjustment of his own you know of not being able to get up and and go the way i want to go happy and spending as much time as he can with his four kids deandre and his medical team know time is part of the concern the average life expectancy 75 i have to be able to get you to 75 in some way or another and an artificial heart pump at the age of 40 is going to be difficult to get them to 75. medically deandre's next hope is for a heart transplant but the hope of his current heart both authentic and metal is that others don't make the same mistake of ignoring the early warning signs of high blood pressure go get checked just go it doesn't matter what it's about just self-care is the best care go and get yourself checked out doctors say getting screened and treated for high blood pressure can be the singular most important health choice that you can make especially for african-americans who are genetically predisposed to high blood pressure and tend to get it at early ages

When you try to help people and they are so racist they ignore it…
The prision systems is a big part of this. Man I hate this place with a passion.
Racism
Are we genetically predisposed or is it lifestyle choice?
That’s lie we don’t get help even if we go to doctors racism the truth
If yakub created life couldn't he fix this or was he busy creating evil white people… so he's evil?
If it isn't alive don't eat it!
Black men eat the most meat, cheese n processed foods too. They gotta become raw foodists and raw vegans.
@1:50 His sons look like they’re on the overweight side too. He needs to make sure they don’t go the same route.
Lifestyle changes. We have to help ourselves as black male. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, manage stress, take vitamin D, drink water. Stay away from process food. The leading cause of death amongst Cardiogist is, drum roll. Heart disease. The doctor will make us become disable. We can help ourselves by cutting back on fried foods, alcohol, smoking, red meat etc. We are not perfect, however we can live a healthy lifestyle and in so doing eliminate many chronic diseases.
Put down the Processed Foods Cut the Salt and Suger ASAP!
