Cardiovascular risk causes should refer to the reasons for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease risk. The main causes of cardiovascular disease are hypertension, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity and genetic predisposition.
Hypertension causes cardiovascular disease mainly because it changes the structure of blood vessels. Long-term high blood pressure will make the walls of arteries gradually thicken and harden, and the diameter of blood vessels slowly shrinks, affecting the blood supply to the heart and brain; and it will make the heart and cerebral blood vessels brittle, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents easily.
Diabetes mellitus and smoking will directly damage the blood vessel wall and destroy the function of blood vessel endothelial cells, so that the probability of atherosclerosis is significantly higher, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Dyslipidemia and obesity are important reasons for the occurrence of atherosclerosis, mainly because of dyslipidemia and obesity in patients with significantly higher blood levels of low-density lipoproteins, and low-density lipoproteins are oxidized to have a strong atherosclerosis-causing effect, which leads to increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Genetic inheritance is also one of the factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have obvious family aggregation. If both parents suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the probability of their children developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be higher than normal.
If you are found to have hypertension, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity and genetic inheritance, etc., it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
