Coronary heart disease is the number one killer disease in the world. This condition occurs due to narrowing / blockage in the coronary artery walls due to fatty deposits and cholesterol that cause the blood supply to the heart becomes impaired. Changes in lifestyle, diet, and stress can also lead to the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
The cause of coronary heart disease is due to excessive buildup of fatty substances in the lining of artery walls of coronary arteries, which are influenced by diet and unhealthy lifestyle.
People who suffer from coronary heart disease characterized by:
1. Pain in the chest, more specifically in the chest pain that spreads to the middle to the left arm or neck, even to the back. This chest pain is pain typical of coronary heart disease. This pain arises only when doing physical activity and will decrease when resting.
2. Accompanying symptoms such as sweating and the onset of nausea.
Coronary heart disease & Cardiovascular Genetics
Medically heart disease are grouped into two types: coronary heart disease and genetic heart disease. coronary heart disease occurs when the narrowing of blood vessels to the heart. While genetic factors (congenital) were found since the age of the baby.
Heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease is a deadly disease. Around the world, the number of patients with this disease continues to grow. These three categories of disease is not free from an unhealthy lifestyle is mostly done along with the changing pattern of life.
Some causes of heart disease, among others:
1. Descendants Of Family Factors
Some research suggests that if there is a family history of heart problems in both women's families or the families of men, their offspring are more likely to develop a similar problem of heart disease.
2. Age and Sex Factors
A woman under the age of 50 years had a lower risk than men in the same age group. But After menopause, a woman's risk increases due to the decrease of the hormone estrogen.
3. Diabetes
The People with diabetes can suffer from complications of heart disease. People with diabetes should pay attention to health because it can affect Cause Heart Disease.
4. Smoking (Active or Passive)
Many smokers with heart disease. Smoking causes heart disease is very high. Smoking is approximately 20 percent of all deaths from heart disease and almost 50 percent of heart attacks in women under the age of 55 years. The smokers also get them involved inhaling smoke are at risk of having problems at heart. Studies say that people who do not smoke who live with smokers have a risk of heart attack.
5. Overweight or Obesity
Excess weight increases blood pressure and high amounts of fat abnormalities. Avoid obesity (overweight) is the main way to avoid heart attack.
6. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
High blood pressure that lasts a long time one of the causes of heart disease. High blood pressure (hypertension) can injure the arterial wall and allows the channel to enter the arteries of LDL cholesterol and increase the accumulation of plaque.
7. Stress / Emotions Excessive
Based on research, stress can cause this narrowing of the arteries and reduce blood flow. Other research suggests that severe stress can lead to rupture of an artery wall that trigger heart attacks.
8. Lacking Sports
People who exercise have less risk of heart attack is higher. They spend most of their day without physically active and exercising regularly. And decreased risk among those who exercise regularly. The streets were relaxed for 20 to 30 minutes three or four times a week can lower your risk of heart attack. With regular exercise can improve the ability of the heart to pump and can lower cholesterol levels and lowering blood pressure.
