Understanding your risk factors
Certain things like age, weight, diet, and even your biological sex can have a negative effect on your cardiovascular health. Knowing what these factors are can help you and your heart specialist take steps to keep your heart as healthy as possible.
Some of the most common heart disease risk factors include:
- An unhealthy diet
- Being age 55 or older
- Being overweight or obese
- Having diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Lack of activity in day to day life
- Smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke
Fortunately, many of these factors are things that you can address on your own, or with the guidance of your cardiologist or primary care provider. Something as simple as a daily walk can hugely improve both your physical and mental health, and reduce your risk of heart disease. We always advocate for our patients to be at the forefront of their care, and welcome your questions about what you can do to help your heart.
