Answer: Arnold's risk for coronary heart disease.
Arnold should worry due to the fact that one of the causes of coronary heart disease is the formation of plaque which is made up of deposits of cholesterol and other substances in the artery. Considering his blood pressure was 130/85, his total cholesterol was 210 (LDL was 175 and HDL was 35), it should raise some concern.
Details about NFL do regarding Dr. Amalu's findings is given below.
Explanation:
- Bennet Omalu. Dr. Omalu was the first person to discover physical evidence linking football-related brain injury and dementia. He discovered the condition of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (commonly known as CTE) in 2002 in the brain of Hall of Fame Center for the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Webster.
- Bennet Omalu, the doctor credited with discovering Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in former football players and — and who was portrayed by Will Smith in the 2015 movie “Concussion” — is claiming unnecessary roughness on his reputation.
- The story by Will Hobson said that the Nigeria-born forensic pathologist and neuropathologist “routinely exaggerates his accomplishments and dramatically overstates the known risks of CTE and contact sports, fueling misconceptions about the disease, according to interviews with more than 50 experts in neurodegenerative disease and brain injuries, and a review of more than 100 papers from peer-reviewed medical journals.”
- But Omalu said he believes that powerful sports leagues are behind the “vindictive” article, which he alleged cherry-picked information to build a “false narrative that was not journalism but a gossip piece [like] you find in the National Enquirer.
- “This is not the first time the NFL, the NHL, the WWE and the NCAA have used journalists and doctors to attack me. They hide behind doctors and journalists. They will not come attack me directly because that would be too obvious,” said the 51-year-old, adding that he is currently a designated expert witness in cases where the NHL, NCAA and NHL are defendants.
- In 2005, Omalu published a paper on former Pittsburgh Steeler Mike Webster, “Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player,” that brought CTE diagnoses in NFL athletes to public attention and called for further research of the disease. The findings were initially dismissed by the NFL.
- Omalu claimed that McKee’s research center has taken research money from the NFL in 2010 and the WWE in 2013, pointing out that neither endowment was mentioned in the WaPo piece.
- A spokesperson for the Washington Post told The Post: “In 2010, Dr. Ann McKee’s research group received a $1 million grant from the NFL. Since then, her group has produced some of the most significant research suggesting playing football increases the risk of brain disease. Her current work is funded, in part, by a foundation that seeks to have youth tackle football outlawed.”
