The causes of cardiovascular disease are complex and multifactorial, generally including genetic factors, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, unhealthy diet, and special populations.
1. Genetic factors: parents or grandparents have a family history of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension and coronary heart disease.
2. High blood pressure and high blood sugar: patients with high blood pressure and high blood sugar are prone to cardiovascular disease risk.
3. Dyslipidemia: Abnormal lipid levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and other lipids will promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which can trigger myocardial ischemia when it involves the heart vessels.
4. Smoking, obesity: can directly or indirectly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
5. Unhealthy diet: ultra-processed carbohydrates such as cream cakes, sodas, and chocolates may increase the risk of hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and inflammation.
If the patient has the above risk factors, it is recommended to visit the cardiology department of the hospital in time for early intervention to prevent the formation of coronary heart disease, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases.
