The onset of heart disease whether it be a case of Chronic heart disease (CHD), Congenital heart disease or Cardiomyopathyis, is no doubt overwhelming and represents a life changing experience to those affected.
Scientists have yet to unravel all of the causes of heart disease. However, certain risk factors are said to increase the likelihood of developing it. These include factors such as age, gender, genetics or ethnic group. The risk factors we do have some control over include what we eat, our smoking habits, and the amount of exercise we take.
This Blog seeks to explore the correlation between lifestyle and heart disease.
We would be grateful if you could share your experience by answering the questions below
- What treatments do you follow for your condition?
- In coping with the condition have you made any particular changes to your lifestyle?
These questions are only a guide and so please feel free to bring up any other issues that you feel are relevant to you. Also, please do add any other sources of information or support that you have found useful.
Thanks very much in advance for your help. Remember, a blog is really like having a conversation with lots of people at the same time and so please check back on the blog to see what others have said so that if you feel like adding to their thoughts you can. It’s a conversation and a chance to learn and share!
I look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input.
