Check your heart and keep it healthy, to reduce the risk of infection.

Check your heart and keep it in good condition to reduce the risk of sudden heart attack.

Currently, the incidence of heart disease is increasing continuously, especially when a sudden heart attack can happen to a person without warning, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the general health of the body in addition to taking care of heart health and regular check-ups.

A sudden heart attack is often caused by a blockage of the coronary arteries, which obstructs blood flow to the heart, leading to ischemia, and heart muscle damage. The first symptom that patients can observe and feel is pain, tightness, or discomfort in the middle of the chest. These symptoms may spread to the neck, arms, or lower jaw. In addition to feeling dizzy, shortness of breath, and nausea, it is known that the symptoms may last for more than 15 minutes and rest or taking medication will not relieve them.

A heart health check-up can help prevent heart attack. There are several ways to do it, as follows:

Exercise ECG is a process of examining the heart during exercise, such as walking or running on a treadmill for a short period of time. This method can detect abnormalities that may occur with the heart and blood vessels during strenuous exercise. Therefore, this test can show people with blocked or blocked coronary arteries that there is insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. The results of the electrocardiogram

Coronary artery calcium rate is measured using a computerized tomography machine to find the amount of calcium in the arteries. If the rate is higher than 400, it means that the patient is at risk of coronary heart disease within the next 2-5 years.

Coronary CT scan to check if the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked or if there are other defects or abnormalities in the heart. People who undergo this test will use a dye in the X-ray to get a clearer and better X-ray image.

Coronary angiogram with a catheter, which is a small catheter that is inserted through an artery. Then, a contrast dye is injected into the coronary artery to record the defects in the arteries, whether they are blocked or narrowed, and the results can be processed more accurately and efficiently.

However, heart health can be maintained by exercising regularly or at least 5 times a week for 30 minutes each time. In addition to eating healthy food and drinking enough water, you should also get enough rest. In addition, you should not neglect to check your heart regularly, at least once a year, to check for heart disease risks and prevent severe heart attacks.
