But can coronary artery disease be reversed with lifestyle measures, including changes to nutrition and exercise? In general, the more calcified or fibrous a plaque is, the less dangerous it is, as it is less likely to rupture and cause a heart attack. All of these components influence the risk of future heart attacks.

Exercise prevents and reverses cardiovascular disease, but whether high-intensity exercise training (HIIT) is safe and effective for adults after minimally invasive heart surgery is unknown. Exercise is a wonder drug for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and reversal. Cardiac rehab works wonders.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. This blog explores how genetics influence heart health and whether mitigating these inherited risks is possible. Heart imaging, such as echocardiograms or CT scans.

Over time, hypertension weakens the heart, blood vessels and kidneys, paving the way for potential stroke or heart attack. Often referred to as the “silent killer,” high blood pressure is a leading risk factor for heart disease and early death. according to CardioSmart.org.

The research was presented at the American College of Cardiology ’s Annual Scientific Session. Decline in exercise ability is a hallmark of progression to overt heart failure. Patients were randomly assigned to receive twice-daily doses of either 1,000 mg or 1,500 mg of AT-001 or a placebo.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.

In 2023, Gujarat grappled with a cardiac crisis, as reported by the Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI) 108, with a staggering 72,573 cases. The convenience of processed foods, high intake of saturated fats, and inadequate exercise collectively contribute to an increased risk of heart-related problems.

Heart failure is a chronic clinical syndrome characterised by the inability of the heart to pump out enough blood to meet the body’s requirements. Unfortunately the term ‘heart failure’ has unnecessarily negative connotations- a better term is cardiac insufficiency.
