Cardiovascular health is the foundation for a healthy immune system. You need good circulation and a strong heart to live the good life. Controlling your weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol are the key.
However, knowing your weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol level tells only part of the story. The ability of your heart and vessels to deliver blood may be compromised by many factors. The most common are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess weight, and poor heart function due to lack of exercise. Paying attention to these factors will go a long way in promoting good cardiovascular functioning.
New techniques for measuring the risk of stroke or heart attack create a more complete picture of a person’s cardiovascular health. These measures are essentially an early warning system, allowing preventive measures to be taken now, before more invasive procedures become necessary.
Some of these evaluations have only recently been recognized for their importance and are now covered by some insurance companies.
