A heart specialist explains the things that can increase your chances of getting heart diseases, and that you have the power to change them.
Cardiovascular diseases are conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, and it is important to identify traits and lifestyle habits that can increase the chances of having a heart attack because they are risk factors. Some of these risk factors can be changed, but others we cannot control.
A heart surgeon in Mumbai named Dr. Bipeenchandra Bhamre said in an interview that there are certain things that increase the chances of having a heart attack. These things include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and being overweight. There are other things that can make it more likely for you to have a heart attack. This means if people in your family have had heart problems when they were young. High levels of cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, a long-term kidney disease, ongoing inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, and having HIV/AIDS. Having a history of preeclampsia during pregnancy or experiencing early menopause can increase the chances of having a heart attack.
He said, "Another thing that is often ignored is air pollution. " Breathing in pollution for a long time, like tiny particles in the air, can make you sick. It can increase your chances of getting heart problems. Tiny particles can get into our blood when we breathe them in. These particles can cause inflammation in our blood vessels, which can lead to the build-up of plaque and make our arteries stiff. Research has shown that not getting enough good quality sleep can lead to heart problems. This happens because it affects how our body processes energy and causes more inflammation.
Risk factors that you have the power to alter:
The health expert said that smoking or using tobacco is very dangerous for your heart and can cause heart attacks and strokes. Nicotine in cigarettes and e-cigarettes makes your heart beat faster and increases your blood pressure. Moreover, smoking increases the chances of blood clots forming and also promotes the growth of plaque in the arteries. Even if you don't smoke, you are still more likely to get heart disease if you are around secondhand smoke.
Dr Bipeenchandra Bhamre said that there are certain things that can increase the chances of getting heart problems, like age and family history. However, the choices we make in how we live our lives also have a big impact on how likely we are to get heart problems. Taking steps to manage chronic stress, getting enough sleep, and keeping the air clean are all important for having a healthy heart.
