Preventing Heart Disease
摘要
Treating heart disease starts with prevention. It begins with being proactive and engaging in healthy lifestyle practices, including a well-balanced diet and exercise. Having a family history of heart disease increases a person’s future risk of developing heart disease, so it is important to assess and intervene with any modifiable risk factors. This chapter provides insight into proactive strategies to reduce the risk of heart disease. It also offers insight into modern technologies available, including smartphone apps and wearable devices, that can be used to monitor health progress. Overall, this book in its entirety aims to help patients and families navigate through the difficulties of heart disease—from prevention to intervention.
