What is meant by Electrical Pathway Disease? It is mentioned in Joel Fuhrman's book The End of Heart Disease as being one of two heart diseases that can't be reversed. Advanced valve damage. being the other one.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Maybe "Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)" illness. If you search on "Electrical Pathway Disease' in quotes, almost all the few results are from Dr. Fuhrman. WPW patients have one or more extra pathways in their AV node. Certainly diet would not fix it.

There is also the disorder of the heart's electrical system called Long Q-T Syndrome which is congenital or acquired.

Lots of different general terms and phrases to describe the same thing. Another one is channelopathy or more specifically cardiac-channelopathy.
