8. His stroke risk is also higher this year following his heart attack

Source: Harvard

First, the good news: The rate of first-time heart attacks has dropped by nearly half in the past 25 years. And heart attack survival rates have surged, thanks to improved treatments. The bad news? Compared to people without such a history, heart attack survivors not only face a higher risk of a second heart attack, they're also more likely to have a stroke.

The risk of stroke is higher in the first year following a heart attack, especially during the first month. After a year, however, only the risk of ischemic stroke remains elevated, according to study in the July 2016 Stroke that tracked more than a quarter-million heart attack survivors over a 30-year period. (See "Types of stroke: Blockage vs. bleeding" for a primer on the different types.)

The heightened stroke risk isn't surprising, given that heart attacks and ischemic strokes have nearly identical risk factors—namely, high blood pressure, diabetes, unhealthy cholesterol levels, lack of exercise, obesity, and cigarette smoking. But other factors can also come into play.

9. The way I understand it, putting a stent in greatly reduces the risk of another

heart attack, and they wouldn't do that to patch someone up if they needed more serious surgery. I'd say he's good to go.

10. His people don't care. Sanders said the ONLY fair thing to do was release medical records BEFORE

the first vote.

The only fair thing to do, is release the records before we vote.

He lied. He isn't going to do it. It is only fair by his own words now he is telling us to shove it because he does not think it will affect people voting for him.

Firstly, while running on integrity? And secondly, we have had four years of this and I do not wnat another four of the President ignoring his responsibilities to the people for his own interests.

12. He said he'd do it before the first votes were cast, and now he said he never will.

Chances of a 78-year old man having a second heart attack/"event" within a year of the first one is 45%.

[krissey]

13. Chance is higher seeing the only reason to not release is it is not good. What person would not

brag about clean health? What old man would not let ego carry him around boasting about clean bill of health after a heart attack that to men is a sign of weakness. The only reason he refuses to release the records is because they are not good. We can now make the assumption since he says the only fair thing is to release before first vote then backtracking to look like a real ass not giving it to the voters.

That is the only conclusion we can draw and shame on Sanders.
