Let&#8217;s raise awareness about heart disease and how it can be prevented. This blog will take a closer look at what the disease is, its causes, and what seniors can do to prevent it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Heart Disease?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Heart disease is a broad term that refers to a list of known heart conditions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>heart defects<\/li>\n<li>attack or failure<\/li>\n<li>Arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat<\/li>\n<li>Coronary artery disease<\/li>\n<li>silent ischemia<\/li>\n<li>angina<\/li>\n<li>peripheral arterial disease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What Are the Most Common Causes of Heart Disease?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main cause of heart disease, in general, is known as \u201catherosclerosis\u201d, or the narrowing or blockage of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries. An unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and obesity are all preventable causes of atherosclerosis and heart disease.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Senior Heart Health: The Symptoms of Heart Disease<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>While many heart conditions require treatment specifically for each condition, there are symptoms that most heart condition sufferers experience, such as increased heart rate, chest pain or pressure, heaviness, discomfort, or fullness in the chest. Other symptoms include palpitations or irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, weakness or dizziness, sweating, and nausea.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Prevent Heart Disease Before It Affects You or A Senior Loved One<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The good news is that many complications related to heart disease are preventable through a healthy lifestyle.
