About Heart Disease

(Source: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute)

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), individuals can reduce their risk of having a heart attack—even if they already have coronary heart disease and have had a previous heart attack. The key is for individuals to take steps to prevent or control their heart disease risk factors. Individuals should:

  • Stop smoking
  • Lower high blood pressure
  • Reduce high blood cholesterol
  • Aim for a healthy weight
  • Be physically active each day
  • Manage diabetes

According to the NHLBI, the main warning signs of a heart attack are:

  • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. The discomfort may be mild or severe, and it may come and go.
  • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
  • Shortness of breath, which often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort.
  • Other symptoms may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness.
