URoslyn uneminyaka engu-36 ubudala, unesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-74, ubude bungamasentimitha angu-165, futhi unamafutha omzimba angu-35%. Uyise wahlaselwa isifo senhliziyo eneminyaka engu-68 ubudala futhi umfowabo wenziwa i-angioplasty eneminyaka engu-40. Bobabili bayaphila futhi banempilo. Izilinganiso zakhe zamakhemikhali egazi zilinganisa i-cholesterol ephelele ku-195 mg% ne-HDL cholesterol ku-42 mg%. Ushukela wakhe wegazi ongadlile u-105% mg%. URoslyn uhlala ehleli futhi akakaze ahlanganyele esimisweni sokuzivivinya kusukela ekolishi. Cabangela futhi usho izinto eziyingozi ezinhliziyo nemithambo yegazi zikaRoslyn. Yini ongayiphakamisa ukuba yenze ukuze ithuthukise noma yiziphi izici ezingase zibe ingozi?
Amazinga ayo e-cholesterol nomfutho wegazi kubonakala sengathi asezingeni elihle. Nokho, indlela yakhe yokuphila ehlala phansi nokungasebenzi kuyimbangela yokuhlaselwa isifo senhliziyo. I-BMI yakhe nayo ingu-27.2, engase ibhekwe njengengxenye yesimo sokukhuluphala ngokweqile, okubuye kube isici esiyingozi senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Ushukela wakhe wegazi osuke engadlile nawo usuphakeme kancane, usezingeni elingaphambi kokuba abe nesifo sikashukela okungenye ingozi yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqiniso lokuthi wayenezihlobo eziseduze ezinesifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi (ukuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo, i-angioplasty), liphinde liphakamise ukukhathazeka. Ngingasikisela ukuba aphile ukuphila okuhlala kancane, futhi adle ukudla okunempilo.
