Who Is At Risk Of Coronary Artery Disease?
Certain health conditions and lifestyle factors can significantly increase your risk of developing heart disease. These include:
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Tobacco use
- Kidney disease
- Family history of heart disease
But risk doesn’t stop there. There are also often overlooked factors that deserve attention, such as:
- Prediabetes
- Sleep apnea
- Steroid use
- Recreational drug use
- Inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
- Ethnic backgrounds
If you have any of these risk factors, a proactive heart health check could make a real difference.
Heart Health Matters for Women, too....
Women need heart health checks just as much as men — and in some cases, even more attention is needed. As heart disease in women can be more subtle or go unrecognized.
Symptoms may include..
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Discomfort in neck, jaw or back
- Chest pressure (not always pain)
Regular heart health checks can help detect problems early, especially for women with risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease.
