How important is watching my weight? Is it a problem if my cholesterol is high? Do I quit smoking? Wait… Does my family history also play a role? Let’s talk 7 Ways You Can Get Ischemic Heart Disease.
Summary: 1. Family History of Heart Disease No matter how far you run, you can never truly escape your family. Ain’t this the sad truth. Ischemic Heart Disease is often predetermined by your family’s health history
2. Smoking If you’re a regular cigarette smoker, you’re going to want to watch out. Smoking is another long term cause of ischemic heart disease. Quitting this awful habit is just one more step to lowering your chances of hurting your coronary artery.
3. Diabetes This one should be fairly obvious. Diabetes is one of the strongest risk factors for any cardiovascular condition. But in the case of ischemic heart disease, people who are diabetic need to take particular caution.
4. Obesity Yes, diabetes and obesity go hand in hand. But for the sake of our list, obesity needs to be its own discussion. Your weight is a major factor in whether or not you develop IHD. The risk of this condition is increased in adults who are obese.
5. Hypertension We’ve touched on high blood pressure briefly, but let’s give it a closer look. Known as hypertension, this condition is closely associated with Ischemic Heart Disease. When looking for signs of IHD, your blood pressure is one of the first things doctors check. It is characterized by an elevated level of blood pressure in the arteries.
