Risk Factors for Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases

Risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases include difficult or uncontrollable risk factors, such as age, gender, family genetic background, and unhealthy lifestyle.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have troubled many people's lives, and everyone wants to escape from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as far as possible. So, we should know that the first point to escape cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, we should be clear about the risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and avoid them in life, so as to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as far as possible.

Risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

1. Age. Generally, the likelihood of developing the disease increases after the age of 40, and progresses faster after the age of 49.

2. High blood fat. Hyperlipidemia can lead to arteriosclerosis, which can cause coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and so on.

3. High blood pressure. Long-term damage of vascular endothelial cells in hypertension will accelerate atherosclerosis.

4. Smoke. Smoking can cause vasospasm, heart muscle damage and coronary heart disease.

5. Increased blood sugar. The incidence of diabetes combined with coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease is higher than other population.

6. Obesity. Obesity can aggravate atherosclerosis, and is often accompanied by insulin resistance, which can lead to a significant increase in the risk of coronary heart disease.

7. Have a family history. In first-degree relatives, CHD occurred in males less than 55 years old and females less than 65 years old. Considering the family history of early onset CHD, family members are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Need to be aware

From normal arteries to asymptomatic atherosclerosis, arterial stenosis, it can take more than ten to several decades.

Progress is slow, mostly asymptomatic, as the "invisible killer", difficult to attract people's attention.

In particular, from asymptomatic arteriosclerosis to symptomatic stroke or acute myocardial infarction, but only a few minutes, in the form of sudden disabling, even fatal, take people unprepared.

The return to poverty has become a serious social problem, with many patients unprepared and without preventive measures, resulting in a high mortality rate.

Therefore, with such a regular occurrence of the disease, we must emphasize prevention before it happens, prevention first.
