The cardiologist of the Chistopol Central District Hospital talked about how to maintain heart and vascular health.

      From August 10 to 16, 2026, Russia is holding a Week of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention. This initiative is timed to coincide with World Heart Day, which is celebrated on August 11. Cardiovascular diseases are a large group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels. They include ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, peripheral artery diseases, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other pathologies. Many risk factors cannot be completely eliminated; however, everyone can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases by following simple preventive rules. Cardiologist Saidov Kosimdzhan Aysidinovich from the Chistopol Central District Hospital explained how to protect the heart, which symptoms should not be ignored, and when it is necessary to see a doctor. The main foundation of heart and vessel disease prevention is a healthy lifestyle. This includes proper nutrition, regular physical activity, quitting harmful habits, and timely preventive examinations. The main risk factors include: - hereditary predisposition; - smoking; - alcohol abuse; - low physical activity; - excess weight; - diabetes; - high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Special attention should be paid to quitting smoking. Tobacco smoke negatively affects the blood vessels, raises blood pressure, increases the risk of thrombosis, and contributes to the development of oxygen deprivation in the body. To monitor heart health, it is important to regularly check: - blood pressure; - blood glucose and cholesterol levels; - body mass index. Physical activity helps maintain a normal weight and strengthen the cardiovascular system. It is equally important to adhere to a balanced diet: limit salt intake (to 5 grams per day), reduce the amount of animal fats and sweets, and include vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, nuts, and vegetable oils in the diet. Pay attention to alarming symptoms: weakness, frequent headaches, dizziness, pain or discomfort in the heart area, shortness of breath. If they occur, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Take care of your heart! Prevention and timely examination help maintain health and quality of life.
