A stroke, often called a "brain attack," is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives brain tissue of essential oxygen and nutrients, causing brain cells to begin dying within minutes. 🧠🫀🚑

Knowledge is power. If you understand the risks for heart attack, you can take steps to improve your health.

Risk factors are traits and lifestyle habits that can increase your chance of having a heart attack. So, it’s important to know them. You can change some risk factors, some you can’t.

The first step is to talk to your health care professional. They can help you reduce, control or prevent as many risk factors as you can. They may suggest healthy changes to your daily habits, prescribe medication or both.

If you don’t have a primary care physician, you may be able to see someone at a clinic in your community.

High salt (sodium) intake is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, directly increasing blood pressure and causing water retention that forces the heart to work harder. Reducing salt intake to less than 5g per day (approx. 2,000mg sodium) is recommended to prevent hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.

Physical inactivity is a major, modifiable risk factor for heart disease, ranking similarly to smoking, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol. It is estimated that 35% of coronary heart disease mortality is attributable to physical inactivity.

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease, with patients being 2 to 4 times more likely to develop cardiovascular issues or experience a stroke. High blood sugar damages blood vessels and nerves controlling the heart, often leading to earlier onset of complications, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and, in some cases, cardiomyopathy.
