Facts About Heart Disease That Everyone Should Know!!
You might already be aware that 1 in 4 deaths is attributable to cardiovascular disease. 
Likewise, you probably already know that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of 
heart failure. And it should go without saying that the best thing you can do for your heart is 
not to smoke, eat right, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight. 
Here Are Some Heart Disease Facts That Everyone Ought to Know.
Feminine and male forms of heart disease exist.
While the incidence of heart disease is about the same in men and women, the symptoms 
can vary widely. It's familiar for women with heart disease and those who have had a heart 
attack to report feeling exhausted and short of breath. In addition, women are more likely 
than males to experience pain and discomfort between their shoulder blades. Men, on the 
other hand, report feeling the pain more frequently in their arms and neck. Any new or odd 
symptoms should be checked by a doctor, regardless of whether they match a description or 
were reported by a friend or loved one. Call emergency immediately if you have severe chest 
or back pain, difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness, or feel like you could pass out from the 
discomfort.
Three major risk factors are diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
Heart disease risk factors 
include diabetes, high blood 
pressure, and excessive 
cholesterol. The good news is 
that your risk of cardiovascular 
disease and all three illnesses 
can be reduced via proper 
management. Regular exercise 
and balanced diets are the best 
weapons against or control of 
all three diseases. Medication 
may also help control high 
blood pressure and cholesterol 
levels. Therefore, to ensure 
your risk for heart disease 
remains low, take your 
medicine consistently.
Up to 20% of people can suffer a heart attack and have no idea it happened.
The common conception of a heart attack is that it only occurs in the way they are depicted 
on television, with an elderly, overweight guy holding his arm and falling to the ground, 
complaining of acute pain in his chest and an inability to breathe. Although chest discomfort 
and shortness of breath are possible signs of a cardiac event, less severe symptoms are more 
common. There may be a problem with your heart if you're experiencing symptoms like 
pressure in the chest, general discomfort, and slight pain in the neck and arms. Get in touch 
with your healthcare physician or cardiologist immediately if you have these relatively mild 
symptoms. Extreme symptoms, such as passing out or feeling dizzy, require immediate 
medical attention.
A family heart disease history doubles the risk.
You have a family history of heart disease if a male relative under the age of 55 or a female 
relative under the age of 65 in your family has the condition. In addition, this raises the 
likelihood that you'll experience heart problems.
If you think COVID-19 won't affect your heart, think again.
COVID-19 has the most significant impact on heart health, discouraging people from getting 
medical attention when sick. Dr Sarita Rao says the danger of getting COVID-19 is low in a 
hospital. The hospital team adheres to practices that have proven effective in limiting the 
spread of COVID-19. You must contact emergency services if you are experiencing symptoms 
that suggest you may have a cardiac episode.
Heart disease is 80% avoidable.
We have a good understanding of the causes of heart disease and can recognise the signs 
and symptoms with relative ease, making it possible to take preventative measures. For 
example, keeping active, eating better, not smoking, and routinely visiting a cardiologist are 
great ways to reduce your risk.
To conclude 
Speak out if you're experiencing anything concerning. And make sure your doctor is 
attentive and concerned about your well-being. Try looking for one at a hospital or clinic 
focusing on cardiovascular health.
