A member asked:
My whole family has heart related problems ( like stunt, bypass, heart attack ), what precaution could i take in regards to food, exercise, lifestyle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Modifiable risk: Hi. Genes play a large role in risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and you're stuck with your genes. Minimize modifiable ASCVD risk factors: don't smoke, treat cholesterol/lipid problems, eat a heart healthy diet, get lifelong regular aerobic exercise, treat high blood pressure, control diabetes. Live healthy! Good luck!
