Dr. Kamal Pourmoghadam's blog will focus on heart health, one of the most important public health issues. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US
Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children (N/A:N/A)
In his Blog, Dr. Pourmoghadam3 will explain that heart disease actually describes several conditions, many of which relate to plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries. As the plaque builds, arteries narrow, thus making it more difficult for blood to flow. This increases the for a heart attack or stroke. However, there are many other types of heart issues, such as angina, arrhythmia, and ultimately heart failure.
Here are some key points, very briefly summarized. What can one do to prevent heart disease? By prevention and heeding the warning signs and symptoms of heart problems. Some of the following signs and symptoms may indicate heart issues:
* Pain or discomfort in the upper body
* Breathlessness
* Chest pain or discomfort
* Lightheadedness
* Cold sweats
Preventive measures to protect the heart include lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Also, certain lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of heart disease, including:
* Regular exercise
* Heart healthy diet (low in saturated fat, sugars, and salt, and includes fresh fruits and vegetables)
* Not smoking
* Carefully following the instructions for other medications you are taking
* Stress management
Dr. Pourmoghadam explains that “in today’s medical practices, doctors and staff are often rushed and do not always have the time to answer in detail all questions that the patients have. When patients research online, such as on the website of the National Institutes of Health, they find highly complex answers that are very difficult to understand for a layperson. I hope I can fill that information gap with explanatory articles that anybody can understand.”
