Maintaining cardiovascular health reduces the risk of developing various heart diseases, including heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. By understanding the significance of cardiovascular health, we can make informed choices and adopt lifestyle habits that promote a strong and resilient heart.

We are learning that risk factors such a high LDL-C, blood pressure and average blood sugar levels, even in the high normal range, can increase cardiovascular risk. Systolic blood pressure, even above 90 mmHg, results in higher risk 3. This does not mean we should treat blood pressure down to this target!
