Interheart Study

The Interheart Study is a large research project that investigated the main factors contributing to heart attacks worldwide. It analyzed data from people in many countries to identify lifestyle, medical, and genetic risk factors. The study found that conditions like high blood pressure, smoking, unhealthy cholesterol levels, diabetes, and stress significantly increase the risk of a heart attack. Its findings help doctors and health organizations develop better strategies for preventing heart disease through lifestyle changes and medical interventions, ultimately aiming to reduce the global burden of cardiovascular events.
