Symptoms of heart disease can vary but commonly include chest pain or discomfort (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs, and dizziness. If you experience these, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.
The frequency of heart health check-ups depends on your age, family history, and existing risk factors (like high blood pressure or cholesterol). Your primary care provider will recommend a personalized screening schedule during your annual physical exam.
Common tests to check heart health include blood pressure measurements, cholesterol screenings, EKGs (electrocardiograms), and potentially stress tests or imaging scans if indicated.
While some forms of heart disease are chronic, many conditions can be effectively managed, and progression can be slowed or even reversed with appropriate treatment, lifestyle changes, and consistent medical care.
The "best" heart disease treatment varies widely based on the specific condition, its severity, and individual patient factors. It can include lifestyle modifications, medications, and sometimes medical procedures or surgery. Your provider will discuss the most suitable options for you.
