 Heart Disease Treatment
• CPR Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR is one link

chain of survival. Learn CPR for a loved one. You
can use the Internet to find classes near you
• Heart Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Medical
care is essential once heart disease is diagnosed, to
stabilize the condition immediately, control
symptoms over the long term, and cure the disease
when possible.
Heart Disease Prevention
 Don't smoke or use tobacco
Smoking or using tobacco of any kind is one of the
most significant risk factors for developing heart
disease. Chemicals in tobacco can damage your
heart and blood vessels, leading to narrowing of
the arteries due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis).
Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to a heart
attack.

Exercise for about 30 minutes on
most days of the week
Getting some regular, daily exercise can
reduce your risk of heart disease. And when
you combine physical activity with other
lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a
healthy weight, the payoff is even greater.
Eat a heart-healthy diet
Eating a healthy diet can reduce your risk of
heart disease. Two examples of heart-healthy
food plans include the Dietary Approaches to
Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan and the
Mediterranean diet
