Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes heart disease and stroke.
CVD risk factors are behaviors or conditions that increase the risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke. They include smoking, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, overweight and obesity, diabetes or pre-diabetes.
—————
CHD is the leading cause of death in the United States. Every year, more than 1 million men and women have a heart attack. For some people, CHD causes chest pain, but for others a heart attack is the first sign that they have CHD.
Your risk for CHD is based on your age and gender; whether you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal blood cholesterol; and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, diet, and physical activity. Using these factors, a health care professional can determine whether you are at low, medium, or high risk for developing CHD. Knowing your level of CHD risk helps you and your doctor or nurse decide what actions you can take to reduce your chances of having a heart attack. ECG is a test that records the heart’s electrical activity through soft, sticky patches called electrodes, which are taped to your skin. It can be done while you are resting and completely still or while you are exercising. ECG is used to see whether the heart is beating and functioning normally.
