Cardiologist Anna Korenevich: perceiving stress as something inevitable, many people create prerequisites for their heart disease.

Cardiologist Korenevich spoke about what most often leads to the development of cardiac pathologies, including myocardial infarction. According to the doctor, their appearance is closely related to the poor condition of the vessels, which begin to “grow” with atherosclerotic plaques, lose their elasticity and ability to stretch, and become brittle.

“One of the main provocateurs of such problems is high blood pressure. On the one hand, this is known to many, but not everyone understands why this is happening,” Korenevich shared on Telegram.
The cardiologist emphasized that the development of hypertension, which is characterized by high blood pressure, occurs under the influence of many factors. In particular, such as inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, smoking and alcohol abuse, constant overload and lack of normal rest.

In addition, it matters how hypertensive patients take their prescribed medications. Anna Korenevich noted that many people remember pills only at moments of pressure surges and poor health, but such drug therapy only harms. The doctor said that with “situational treatment” the risk of dangerous vascular complications and the development of a stroke increases.

Another important factor in determining heart health is stress. The cardiologist said that many people perceive it as a part of life that is not dependent on their control. Meanwhile, you need to learn how to deal with stress in order to prevent a recurrence, or you need to treat its consequences.

“Repeated stressful situations are not just something that “takes place”, but the main cause of heart and vascular diseases , premature deaths,” the expert warned.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that eating nuts effectively helps maintain heart health.
