So heart disease is one of the major cause of mortality around the globe.
00:06
Heart disease is also characterized by vascular system disease.
00:11
Heart disease can also be known as cardiovascular disease or cvd.
00:16
The system that is affected that affects the heart and all the blood vessels in the body is collectively called as cardiovascular diseases.
00:27
So what happens in the cardiovascular disease? the heart is either affected by fat deposits which is called as arthroschlerosis.
00:39
And also there is a high blood pressure that leads to several components in the heart to malfunction.
00:47
So the heart diseases can be due to several factors.
00:53
Two broadly classified factors are modifiable risk factors.
01:00
So these factors if they are modified, the risk for the heart disease lowers.
01:07
And second one is non -modifiable risk factors.
01:16
So these factors cannot be modified as such.
01:20
So let us see the examples for modifiable risk factors.
01:24
The risk factors that can be changed to attain a good cardiac health is quitting of smoking.
01:31
So when smoking is reduced or smoking is completely stopped, the risk for cardiovascular disease cuts cut back to 18 to 25%.
01:44
So second modifiable risk factor is hypertension.
01:50
So low blood pressure also reduces the risk of cardiac disease...
