I want to help you better understand cardiovascular disease so you can improve both your heart and metabolic health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is cardiovascular disease?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute (NHLBI) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/docs\/Fact_Sheet_Know_Diff_Design.508_pdf.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">defines cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u2026the term for all types of diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels, including coronary heart disease (clogged arteries), which can cause heart attacks, stroke, congenital heart defects and peripheral artery disease.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, cardiovascular disease is an umbrella term that includes all heart diseases in addition to other conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I identify cardiovascular disease?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best ways to determine if you have cardiovascular disease is to request a coronary artery calcium test (or CAC). This can help you identify calcium deposits in your arteries and decide on a course of action \u2014 whether that\u2019s to treat your disease or continue with preventative measures and healthy practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also look for the five major factors of metabolic disease, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blood pressure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A reading of less than 130\/85 is considered healthy for average adults.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blood sugar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Your blood glucose should be less than 100 mg\/dL.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Waist circumference<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Men should have waist circumferences under 40 inches, while women should remain under 35 inches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Triglycerides<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Triglyceride readings for healthy adults are less than 150 mg\/dL.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>HDL Cholesterol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Men should have an HDL greater than 40 mg\/dL and women should have a level greater than 50 mg\/dL<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want an aerial view of your cardiovascular health, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/quiz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">take my metabolic syndrome quiz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get a sense of how healthy you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 4 types of cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it\u2019s an umbrella term, there are many different types of CVD. Let\u2019s focus on the main four:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Aortic disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aorta is the body\u2019s largest blood vessel, running from the heart through the abdomen. Aortic diseases refer to any condition affecting the function of your aorta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common aortic disease is an aortic aneurysm, which can lead to the aorta bursting. In many cases, an aortic aneurysm has no symptoms and is typically found during other tests. However, if you notice abdominal swelling, a pulsing sensation or persistent stomach pain, it\u2019s worth visiting a doctor to be safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Coronary heart disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coronary heart disease occurs when plaque blocks the coronary arteries, reducing the amount of blood that reaches the heart. This additional strain on the heart can lead to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart failure, which is when the heart can no longer pump blood properly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart attacks, in which blockages stop blood reaching the heart<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angina, where restricted blood flow caused chest pain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Peripheral arterial disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With peripheral arterial disease, a blockage occurs in the arteries of the limbs \u2013 most commonly the legs. As with aortic aneurysms, many people have either no symptoms or symptoms that are easy to overlook. For example, you may experience a painful ache when you walk, but dismiss it because it disappears after some rest. Other symptoms include weakness or numbness in the legs, hair loss on the legs and feet, changes to the skin on your legs, or a reduction in muscle mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Strokes and TIAs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strokes are caused when a blockage stops blood from reaching the brain. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke, only temporarily stops the flow. Both can cause catastrophic damage to the mind and body, including facial paralysis and memory loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment options for cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different types of cardiovascular disease mostly share similar treatment options. Medications can help to lower blood pressure, relax the arteries, or address other symptoms, and surgery may be needed to clear blockages, open up the arteries or even perform a heart transplant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as we know, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/2022\/10\/medications-arent-the-only-way-to-treat-chronic-disease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medication isn\u2019t the only way<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to treat chronic disease. With each condition, treatment also includes lifestyle changes, such as giving up smoking, taking up exercise, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/2021\/08\/29\/simple-rules-for-heart-healthy-eating\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eating healthier foods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to prevent cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to prevent cardiovascular health is simple: to make decisions that increase heart health and improve cardiovascular health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each instance of cardiovascular disease shares the same risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, inactivity, and a poor diet. If you\u2019re not giving yourself whole, real foods, resistance exercises, and daily sunlight, you may be putting yourself at a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/2021\/12\/a-guide-to-reducing-your-risk-of-cardiovascular-disease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">higher risk for cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Remember: these risk factors indicate that a person is in poor metabolic health. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you want to prevent cardiovascular disease, you should focus on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/2021\/06\/19\/what-is-metabolic-health-anyway\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fixing your metabolic health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Doing this means you\u2019re eating properly, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting a clean bill of health from your blood panels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part is you can start to see improvements very quickly \u2014 which also means your risk for cardiovascular disease can start to reduce quickly too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To discover if you\u2019re metabolically healthy and at risk for cardiovascular disease, I invite you to take my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifixhearts.com\/2022\/12\/introduction-to-the-7-principles-of-metabolic-health-course\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seven principles of metabolic health course<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and take control of your future today.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not everyone has heard of cardiovascular disease (CVD) \u2014 and that\u2019s where the problem lies.
