ion in heart attack death rate by half. This study was discarded however because of poorly conducted clinical tests. These tests led many doctors to doubt that it worked. The study conducted called GIK for glucose, insulin and potassium nourishes t65he heart muscle that are deprived of oxygen immediately following a heart attack. The causal mechanism are clogged arteries that reduce the flow of oxygen to the heart. The researches need to continue the study of the treatment along with the treatment for clogged arteries to consider this a strong argument. Many of the findings are undermined by the fact that many of the patients that survived were receiving clot busting drugs combined with the GIK treatment. This is relevant data to support the conclusion.S1Patients who received the GIK treatment combined with clot busting drugs have a better chance of surviving a heart attack.S2The treatment provides energy to the heart muscle during and immediately after a heart attack.C1If doctors use the GIK treatment combined with clot busting drugs the heart attack death rate willdecrease.Article 31. What is A? the CHD1 gene2. What is B? Causes heart disease.3. What is causal mechanism? Bad diet and lack of exercise4. Is the Author saying one thing cause another? Yes5. What is the implicit question? Why does the gene appear to promot heart disease?6. NOT - What caused the heart disease.7. This could be common cause because there are environmental factors that could be the cause of A and B.Rival - The gene caused the body to over produce cholesterol which collects in the arteries and cause blockage of blood flow to the heart.The argument for the article is a correlation argument. There is a correlation between “A” the CHD1 gene and “B” heart disease. The arguer believes there is a correlation because of the study of the 75 families who had a history of early heart disease. The causal mechanism is Bad diet and ...
