Canadian Guidelines for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

The Canadian Guidelines for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention focus on reducing risk factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and obesity through healthy lifestyle choices and, when needed, medications. They emphasize regular check-ups, balanced diets, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding tobacco. The guidelines also recommend individualized assessments to identify those at higher risk, guiding interventions to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The overall goal is to promote heart health and longevity through proactive, personalized management of risk factors.
