A little over ten years ago when participating as a volunteer in some memory research to see if early indicators of Alzheimer's could be related to early memory loss, a medical examination revealed that I had a slightly irregular and slow heart beat. I well remember a quickly arranged ECG and then an appointment with a cardiologist. He decided that I should have a 24 hours heart monitor. In the end it was decided that there were no underlying reasons for the irregular heart beat. In some people it is a regular occurrence and I could forget about it. My heart was healthy and my blood pressure was as good as it could be. In any case, I was athletic, had never smoked and drank nothing more than the very occasional glass of wine. I ate a balanced diet containing little red meat and plenty of fish and had my five helpings of fruit and vegetables a day My weight was ideal for my 6ft 1in height and my cholesterol was low. I could in no way be a candidate for any heart problems.
