All chronic disease has its roots in chronic inflammation. In the cardiovascular system, inflammation leads to atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis leads to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and sudden death.

My name is Sanjay Gupta and I am a cardiologist in York, UK. www.yorkcardiology.co.uk
