Understanding Heart Disease
Saturday 31st JanHeart disease is a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, most commonly coronary artery disease where arteries become narrowed by fatty deposits. This can lead to chest pain, heart attacks, and heart failure over time.
Key Risk Factors
Major risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol, and long‑term stress. Some risks like age and family history cannot be changed, but lifestyle habits can.
Warning Signs
Serious warning signs are chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to the arm, jaw, back, or neck, sudden shortness of breath, unexplained sweating, nausea, or fainting. If these appear suddenly, seek emergency medical help immediately.
How to Protect Your Heart
You can reduce risk by not smoking, being active most days, eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, and limiting salt, sugar, and processed foods. Regular check‑ups to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar help catch problems early.
