Cardiovascular disease, which is caused by arteriosclerosis accumulating in the heart blood vessels, is a serious disease that ranks as the second leading cause of death in Korea. Representative cardiovascular diseases include angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. In particular, 40% of patients with myocardial infarction have a poor prognosis, with the risk of sudden death, so we must be more careful. The causes of cardiovascular disease are clear. These include high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity, and stress. If you have three of these, the risk of occurrence is about 13 times higher, and if you have four, it is about 42 times higher. The longer you are exposed to a risk factor, the greater your risk of developing it. However, if you control your risk factors in advance and make an effort to manage a healthy lifestyle, you can fully prevent cardiovascular disease. In the ‘Warning about arteriosclerosis, the main culprit of sudden death’, we reveal how to protect cardiovascular health through diet, exercise, and risk factor management.
