Heart disease is caused by abnormalities of the heart or the formation of abnormal heart structures at birth. This could happen is because of heredity or because of other factors. Congenital heart disease risk factors among others mothers using drugs, drinking alcohol, experiencing a particular disease, or maternal malnutrition. The risk factors that can lead to birth defects, one of which can cause the baby has a heart defect.
stroke
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident, CVA) occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked. This can occur because the blood vessels in the brain is blocked or ruptured. People at risk for stroke is high blood pressure sufferer, has a heartbeat rhythm disturbances, have high cholesterol, smokers, diabetics and the elderly.
Congestive Heart Failure (Congestive Heart Failure)
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart muscle can not pump blood to the blood vessels. People who are at risk of congestive heart failure, among others, people who have high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, heart attack, obesity, etc.
Vein disease (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
Deep venous disease (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) is the occurrence of blood clots in the leg veins that cause pain and foot can not be moved. These blood clots can migrate to the heart and lungs that cause life-threatening complications. These risk factors include long surgery, trauma, obesity, cancer, new baby, use contraceptives swallow, hormone replacement therapy, etc.
Rheumatic Heart Disease
This disease occurs because of damage to the heart muscle and heart valves due to rheumatic fever (rheumatic fever). Rheumatic fever is caused by streptococcal bacterial infection.
Other Cardiovascular Disease
There are many types of other cardiovascular diseases, but rarely occurs as tumor blood vessels, an aneurysm in the brain's blood vessels, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, pericarditis, aortic aneurysm, etc.
Precautions to avoid cardiovascular disease begins to improve lifestyle and controlling risk factors that reduce the chances of developing the disease. For the prevention of cardiovascular disease avoid obesity / overweight and high cholesterol. treatment can be performed on almost all forms of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes mellitus, but it passed away to the individual to run a healthy lifestyle. As far as possible avoid the risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease is the best way to do.
To prevent heart disease, there are some things you should do:
Implementing a healthy diet.
Avoid foods high in fat or high cholesterol. For example, seafood (seafood) have high cholesterol that can harm the heart. Foods that contain cholesterol accumulated in the blood vessel walls and cause atherosclerosis, which triggers cardiovascular disease.
Preferably, eat food prepared with boiled, steamed or baked, low or no fat. Eg milk, cheese, and butter. In addition, avoid all foods with high sugar content such as soft drinks. Implementing a healthy diet also means eating no exaggeration to avoid obesity. Someone who has a waist circumference more than 80 cm (overweight), greater risk of heart disease.
Start by consuming more vegetables, fruits, grains, canola and fish. Less meat, snacks (snacks), and high-calorie foods that contain lots of saturated fat and more.
routine inspection
Most cardiovascular disease attacked suddenly without any symptoms. Before it is too late, it would be better if you have regular check-up or medical examination to determine the hidden risk of cardiovascular disease.
yoga
Through yoga breathing exercise is one way to prevent cardiovascular disease. Besides being able to launch the intake of oxygen through breathing exercises, yoga also reduce stress and prevent cardiovascular disease.
actively engaged
As already mentioned, inactive lifestyle be one of the causes of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, how to prevent this is to be more active. For example to get used to walking, brisk walking, or jogging more often every day.
Quit smoking
The target is to be achieved, also avoiding cigarette smoke from the environment. Smoking causes blood vessel elasticity is reduced, thereby increasing the hardening of the arteries and increases blood clotting factors that trigger cardiovascular disease. Smokers have the chance of stroke and coronary heart disease about two times higher than non-smokers.
