PROTECT YOUR HEART with INTEGRATIVE CARDIAC CARE

Cardiac care may be recommended for individuals who have heart-related conditions or are at risk of developing such conditions. This may include people who have been diagnosed with conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertension, or arrhythmias, or those who have risk factors such as high cholesterol, obesity, or a family history of heart disease.

Cardiac care may also be recommended for individuals who have experienced a heart attack or other cardiac event, or who have undergone a procedure such as coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty. In general, individuals who have any concerns about their heart health should speak with a healthcare professional to determine if cardiac care is appropriate for them.

Let’s Understand more about Cardiovascular disease 

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have now become the leading cause of mortality or even morbidity in India. According to the WHO cardiovascular disease causes 12  million deaths in the world each year. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol. Hence, early diagnosis and management are crucial.

What is cardiovascular disease?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits.

How to track your heart’s health?

Besides blood tests and a chest X-ray, Electrocardiogram, Echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and MRI heart are the major Diagnostic tests that indicate the status of cardiac health.

Risk factors for CVD’s

High blood pressure, 

Increased blood glucose

High Cholesterol and Lipids

Overweight and obesity. 

Stress and hereditary factors.

Integrative cardiac care refers to the use of a combination of conventional and/or alternative therapies for the treatment of heart-related conditions.
