Dr. Naveen Chandra G S, HOD and Lead Consultant in the department of Interventional Cardiology at Aster Hospitals Whitefield debunks some myths about Heart diseases. Heart disease is no longer a disease of the elderly, but can strike much younger due to lifestyle changes, increased stress, obesity and other risk factors.
The video clears up common misconceptions about heart attack symptoms, noting that chest pain is not always present and there can be a wide variety of other symptoms. Dr. Naveen also advises that well-controlled diabetes does not eliminate the risk of heart disease and a multi-pronged approach is necessary to reduce risk.
Preventing Heart Diseases
Dr. Naveen stresses the importance of early detection through regular blood pressure checks and cholesterol screenings, especially for those with a family history of heart disease or diabetes. It is recommended to start cholesterol screenings in your 20s or 30s. Preventive measures are essential to control risk factors and improve heart health.
