Re: FLYOVER SHOWS INDIAN POINT'S A SITTING DUCK

[Tim <tstead@ntirs.org>]

Just out of curiosity, were you implying that

radiation can cause a myocardial infarction (MI)?  I

always thought that an MI was due to restricted

cardiac arteries as a result of a thrombus (such as

plaque - e.g. arthlerosclerotic coronary artery

disease) thereby decreasing the blood flow to the

myocardium and resulting in an infarct (e.g. heart

attack).



Or was this just a general discussion of how someone

could be harmed from something and not necessarily

limited to harm from radiation?



Regards,

Tim
