DVD Review - Body Invaders, Heart Attacks

I liked the DVD to some degree. It was rather detailed on what happens to the body if you are experiencing a heart attack or what symptoms that shows you have a heart problem. There was once guy in the video who had a history of family heart problems. For 12 years, he experienced chest pains. He always thought it was just because he was out of shape. After his bother's death, he decided to check up on his heart. His father died when he was a teenager. Now that he is a father, he does not want his kids to experience what he did when he was young. His father was not there for him. He did not want to leave his kids in a condition like that. After the doctors examined him,  the doctors founds something seriously wrong with him. His arteries were severely clogged. Since he did not want to leave his kids without a father, he decided to have surgery. Doctors took arteries from his limbs and attacked it to his heart. This created an alternate route for the blood to flow. Now he and his family are on a healthy diet. They replaced some of the fat products with low fat products, and they started to exercise more.The DVD was pretty graphic. It grossed me out more than once. If you are bad stomach or faint of heart, do not watch this video. Some parts, there's a lot of blood, and you actually get to see the actual heart pumping.
