75% dintre bolile de inimă pot fi prevenite. Cardiolog: „Cei mai mulți factori de risc țin de stilul nostru de viață”

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in Romania, with a significant portion being preventable through lifestyle changes. The Romanian government has approved a national strategy to combat these diseases, focusing on prevention and early diagnosis. Cardiologist Dr. Nicoleta Tascan emphasizes that most risk factors are lifestyle-related rather than genetic. Regular health checks and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for prevention. Symptoms like unusual fatigue and chest pain should prompt medical consultation. Modern medicine advocates for risk assessment through various screening methods, including the SCORE system, to estimate cardiovascular risk.
