Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3

This refers to all the steps necessary to reduce the odds of a subsequent event, such as a second heart attack or stroke. So, let’s cover seven things that reduce the risk of a subsequent heart attack. Just because you have heart disease or have had a heart attack does not mean there is a lot that can be done.

The new model, which ultimately could change how cardiovascular disease risk is assessed in doctors’ offices around the world, is described in a paper published online January 29 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Parameters of the new model are available in the paper supplements.

Heart disease does not kill people. Heart attacks do. Appreciating this distinction is critical to understanding heart disease. Heart disease is the presence of plaque or atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. In this instance, a heart attack.

Doubling this amount to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity or 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week would (if adhered to, of course) yield massive benefits for cardiovascular health.
