Cardiology Treatments
What is Cardiology?
Cardiology is a branch of cardiac medicine that deals with conditions affecting the heart and various blood-circulatory system components.
Coronary artery disease (heart artery blockages), valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and electrical rhythm abnormalities are all included in the field’s cardiac diagnosis and therapy.
Factors causing Cardiovascular Disease explained by the Best Cardiologist in Nagpur
1. High Blood Pressure
Because it harms the lining of the arteries and increases their susceptibility to plaque formation, this causes the hearts and the brain’s arteries to become more narrow; high blood pressure is a significant contributor to heart disease and stroke.
2. High Cholesterol
The risk of heart disease can increase by double with high LDL cholesterol. This is because too much cholesterol can accumulate in artery walls and restrict blood flow to a person’s heart, brain, kidneys, other organs, and legs.
3. Diabetes
Adults with diabetes are at higher risk of developing heart disease or stroke than those without the disease. Diabetes-related elevated blood sugar can harm cardiac blood arteries and obstruct the brain’s blood supply, causing a stroke.
More than two-thirds of people with diabetes also have excessive blood pressure. Triglycerides and LDL cholesterol are also increased in diabetes.
4. Smoking
Smoking is a significant cause of heart disease and stroke. Smoking results in:
- Increased Triglycerides
- Clotting in blood
- Cell damage in blood vessels
- Increased plaque build-up in blood vessels
- Thickening and narrowing of blood vessels.
5. Obesity, Unhealthy Eating, and Lack of Exercise
Overweight or obese individuals have more chances to develop heart disease, stroke, and risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, and type 2 diabetes, compared to those who are at a healthy weight.
Eating a balanced diet can decrease the likelihood of developing heart disease.
Even those without additional risk factors for heart disease can get the condition through a lack of physical activity. It can raise the likelihood of additional risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and high cholesterol.
