Cardioprotective strategies

Cardioprotective strategies are measures taken to protect the heart from damage or disease. These include a healthy lifestyle—like a balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and managing stress—aimed at maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. Medical interventions, such as medications for high blood pressure or cholesterol, ensure the heart functions well. In some cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery improve blood flow. Overall, these strategies promote heart health, reduce the risk of heart attacks, and help manage existing heart conditions effectively.
