Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular health refers to the efficient functioning of the heart and blood vessels. Conditions affecting this system, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, are common but can lead to serious complications like heart disease or stroke if left unmanaged.

Key Pillars of Cardiovascular Care

• Blood Pressure Management: Medications like Ramipril, Lisinopril, and Amlodipine help keep blood pressure within a healthy range, reducing strain on the heart.
• Cholesterol Control: Statins such as Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and prevent arterial plaque buildup.
• Clot Prevention: Antiplatelet medications like Clopidogrel help prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots.
• Omega-3 Supplements: High-purity options like Omacor can support healthy triglyceride levels.

The Importance of Lifestyle

• Eat a heart-healthy diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables while limiting saturated fats and salt.
• Engage in regular aerobic exercise (like brisk walking or swimming) for at least 150 minutes per week.
• Quit smoking, as it significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Manage stress through physical activity or mindfulness practices.
