The best weapon against heart disease is knowledge , and that's why we emphasize prevention and early detection of heart disease. Our cardiac rehabilitation program provides realistic plans for exercise and lifestyle changes, with home exercise programs available to help patients maintain their exercise and dietary programs. Quality of life scores for MGHS patients three months post-heart attack exceed the national norm. Maintain your ideal weight.
Obesity is an independent risk factor for heart disease.
This means that it can lead to cardiovascular problems in the absence of any other risk factors. Individuals with central or abdominal obesity, or those with frequent weight shifts are at increased risk. Evaluate your family history . Heart attacks, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and strokes have a strong correlation with family members. If your family has a history of cardiovascular disease, you should begin a critical preventive program.
