If your father, uncle, grandfather or any family member has suffered from heart disease at a young age, then your risk also increases by 2–3 times. Whether you are active or thin, heart disease can still develop from within.
Lipoprotein, this is a very dangerous type of cholesterol. It is not tested in normal lipid profile. It is completely genetic. Even if your LDL is normal, it can cause blockage in the arteries.
Just running or going to the gym does not reduce stress, excessive stress increases adrenaline, increases blood pressure, increases swelling in the body and weakens the arteries of the heart. Nowadays, the fast corporate lifestyle has a big impact on the heart.
Many people look absolutely fit from outside, but there is swelling inside their body. This inflammation gradually damages the arteries, and increases the risk of heart attack. It is not tested in common blood test.
Sleeping 6 hours a day is not enough. If you keep looking at mobile or using screen till midnight, then metabolic stress increases in the body. This increases cortisol, blood becomes thick, plaque becomes more unstable and chances of sudden heart attack increases.
Running, jogging, yoga are good for fitness, but it does not guarantee that your arteries are clean. Heart disease is caused not only by lifestyle but by many factors like genes, stress, inflammation, sleep and lipoprotein (A).
According to doctors, every person should get some tests done after the age of 25 years. Like Lipoprotein(a), HS-CRP (inflammation test), ApoB, HbA1c, Fasting Insulin, Vitamin D, Homocysteine, TMT (if symptoms appear) and Coronary Calcium Score (after 35 years), these tests can catch the real danger in time.
