Is chronic inflammation the cause of coronary heart disease? By Dr harold Gunatillake “Globally, 9 million people die each year, from ischemic heart disease, making it by far the world’s biggest killer. Despite falling rates of heart disease, tackling it is still a stubborn challenge. -Benjamin Plackett” “Research is revealing what causes the heart to malfunction – and how to stop that from happening”. The incidence of many heart conditions in wealthy countries is declining. In the United Kingdom, for example, the rates of ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction and heart failure have decreased since 2005. The incidence of atrial fibrillation has increased, probably because of an ageing population. Death rates for coronary heart disease (CHD) in the UK have halved since 1980, but CHD is still the commonest cause of death. The decrease since 1980 maybe because fewer people now get CHD in the first place, or because ...

Kandy Lamissies have Talent – by Dr Harold Gunatillake Hello friends, Kandy is a special spot in my heart, nestled in the shadow of the Knuckles Mountain Range with epic scenery, and so much to see if you visit this ancient historic capital, a haven for backpackers, next to Ella. There is so much to see that visitors need to spend a few days to enjoy the places to visit, historic places, natural parks, overlooking the town with the blessings of a giant Buddha statue, and most of the Lamissies in Kandy are special to me, that Mariazella has composed a catchy baila called ‘I am your Kandy Lamissi’which I have used in this video as background music. Enjoy the rhythmic gyrating dances performed in this video by Kandy girls and boys, who have special talents.
