Heart attack risk
Heart attack risk
Knowing your heart attack risk and more importantly taking steps to make it as low as possible are important stages towards preventing heart disease. A heart attack could be the first time you realize you have heart problems and it is also the time when you realize you have no more chances to avoid heart disease. Once you know you have heart disease your whole outlook on life changes and now you, your family and loved ones have something else to worry about.
Don’t bury your head in the sand, look into what your heart disease risk could be and before it’s too late do something at it to start the process of preventing heart disease. The least that can happen is you may not be able to avoid heart disease but you maybe able to put it off for a while.
Heart disease is the most common cause of death so its not surprising that we all have a chance of having a heart attack. For some of us the risk of heart disease happening sooner is higher and for some it may not show itself at all. For a particular age and gender there is an average or population risk and it would be comforting to be below average and it should be a concern to over the average but there is little to be gained by comparing yourself to the average. If you were told you were over the average by a number of points what would this mean and would you know what to do to close the gap? What you need is the complete package that you can get from My Heart Risk which
- estimates your risk for heart disease now and for up to the next 30 years
- tells you personally what you can do about lowering your risk
- stays with you as a buddy to provide encouragement and support
What can MyHeartRisk do for you
Other heart attack risk calculators may tell you your current risk compared to the average population but then provide little or no help with lowering your risk. MyHeartRisk will analyze each of your heart disease risk factors and give you a detailed explanation of how these contribute to your overall heart attack risk. The program will also give you detailed recommendations on the actions to be taken to mitigate these risks where possible. The help you might need may have to come from your doctor or health care provider in the form of medications and again MyHeartRisk will help you by including in your personal report the information that will be of help to your doctor.
