A new study of more than 9,000 adults published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that 99%* of people who experienced a heart attack, heart failure or stroke had at least one of four major cardiovascular risk factors. Preventive healthcare and catching symptoms early is more important than ever. These four major risk factors are:
High blood pressure
High cholesterol levels
High fasting glucose levels
Tabacco use
It's crucial to get your heart checked regularly to ensure you don't suffer from the factors above. *Lee et al. (2025) "Very high prevalence of nonoptimally controlled traditional risk factors at the onset of cardiovascular disease" Journal of the American College of Cardiology
