As per Dr Susan Cheng, professor and vice chair of research affairs in the department of cardiology at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the new study is particularly important because it reinforces that doctors and patients can manage risk factors for almost all cases of heart disease. It is unique because scientists looked at patients’ medical data, rather than their diagnosis and the presence of risk factors.<\/p>\n

Do you believe that managing lifestyle factors can prevent cardiovascular disease?<\/p>\n
So, if clinicians and patients want to mitigate heart disease risk, the best course of action is likely to continue encouraging management of risk factors like blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking, said Cheng.In addition to clinical risk factors studied in the research, it is also important to improve your lifestyle risk factors. Maintaining good sleep, exercise, nutrition, a healthy weight and low levels of stress are key to lowering cardiovascular disease risk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image credits: Getty Images According to a new study published on Monday in the Journal of the American…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[6612,15967,78542,59,102,8678,78541,19731,2751,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-176128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-blood-pressure","9":"tag-cardiovascular-disease","10":"tag-early-warning-signs","11":"tag-gb","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-heart-attack","14":"tag-heart-conditions","15":"tag-risk-factors","16":"tag-stroke","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Image credits: Getty Images According to a new study published on Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, before a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease hits there are almost always warning signs. Yes, your body gives you signals. Researchers analysed data from two groups: more than 600,000 cases of cardiovascular disease in South Korea and another 1,000 cases in the United States. They analysed what percentage of those cases were preceded by traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including blood pressure levels, blood sugar, cholesterol and smoking.<\/p>\n
