Cardiovascular Care

Service Description

Heart attacks and strokes are primarily caused by blockages that restrict blood flow to the heart or brain. These blockages often occur due to a buildup of fatty deposits, known as plaque, on the inner walls of the blood vessels. Over time, this plaque can harden or rupture, leading to reduced blood flow or complete blockages, which can trigger life-threatening events like heart attacks or strokes. The most common risk factors for heart disease and stroke include an unhealthy diet high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats; physical inactivity; and the harmful use of tobacco and alcohol. These lifestyle choices can lead to a range of health issues, such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels (which may indicate diabetes or prediabetes), increased cholesterol levels, and obesity. These conditions, if left unmanaged, significantly raise the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. However, the good news is that many of these risk factors can be addressed through dietary and lifestyle modifications. By adopting a balanced diet rich in whole foods, engaging in regular physical activity, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol consumption, individuals can improve their overall health and significantly lower their risk of heart disease and stroke. Early intervention and consistent efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle can make a profound difference in preventing cardiovascular issues and promoting long-term well-being. Taking proactive steps today can help safeguard your heart health for the future.
