HEART HEALTH

Heart Health

The heart is a beating muscle that pumps blood continually to the rest of the body via a network of vessels.  Under certain conditions there can be a slow build-up of fatty deposits on the inner wall of the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood (the coronary arteries). These fatty deposits gradually clog the arteries and reduce the flow of blood to the heart.

There is no single cause of the build-up of these fatty deposits, but there are 'risk factors' that increase your chance of developing it.

smoking - both active smoking and being exposed to second-hand smoke

high blood cholesterol

high blood pressure

diabetes

physical inactivity

being overweight

depression, social isolation and a lack of social support.

There are also risk factors that you can't change, such as being male, increasing age and having a family history of coronary heart disease.

While some of these risk factors (such as age and gender) can't be changed, the good news is that there are many steps that you can take to reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease.
