Heart Disease Risk Factors In Women
Ann DeVelasco, Registered Nurse with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, says risk factor education is not difficult to understand if it is presented properly. "There are risk factors we cannot control, like our age, our family history, but there are many things we could control."
The risk factors women can control to avoid heart disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity.
