The number of heart related problems has increased after Covid. You have to take care of your heart in winter. Due to this, creating awareness about heart diseases has become even more important. A report by the Indian Heart Association, an NGO, has revealed that Indians/South Asians are at a higher risk of heart attacks than the western population and awareness is the only possible solution. A silent heart attack can get really bad if left untreated. Symptoms may start appearing even a month earlier. Silent heart attacks, also known as ‘silent killers’, are just as dangerous as regular heart attacks. The tricky thing is that, unlike a regular heart attack, these do not have obvious signs and symptoms.
high blood pressure
There is something that can mess with your heart. Especially in winter, you may suffer from silent heart attack. High blood pressure puts too much pressure on your heart, arteries, and other vital organs, making you more likely to have a heart attack.
smoking
Smoking has undeniably harmful effects on heart health. The toxins present in tobacco smoke damage blood vessels.
high cholesterol
If you have too much cholesterol, especially the ‘bad’ kind (LDL), it can accumulate in your arteries, making it harder for blood to flow and increasing your risk of silent heart disease.
age:
The risk of cardiovascular complications increases with age.
If you have a family history of heart disease
Your family medical history has a significant impact on heart health. If there is a family history of heart disease, the risk of silent heart disease increases.
