What is Preventive Cardiology?
Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing the risk of heart disease through proactive measures. It involves identifying risk factors early, implementing lifestyle changes, and using medical interventions to prevent the development of heart disease.
Importance of Preventive Cardiology
Preventive cardiology is crucial for maintaining heart health and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Key aspects include:
- Risk Assessment: Evaluating individual risk factors such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and family history of heart disease.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging healthy habits like balanced diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation.
- Medical Management: Prescribing medications to manage risk factors and prevent heart disease.
