Miocardiopatía isquémica - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Enfermedad cardíaca isquémica; Cardiomiopatía isquémica

Prevención:

Algunos de los riesgos para cardiopatía que usted puede cambiar son:

  • No fumar o consumir tabaco.
  • Hacer bastante ejercicio, al menos 30 minutos por día, por lo menos 5 días a la semana (hable primero con su médico).
  • Mantenerse en un peso saludable. Tratar de estar en un índice de masa corporal (IMC) entre 18.5 y 24.9.
  • Hacerse evaluar y tratar la depresión.
  • Las mujeres en alto riesgo de cardiopatía deben tomar suplementos de ácidos grasos omega-3.

Si usted bebe alcohol, redúzcalo a no más de un trago al día para las mujeres y no más de dos para los hombres. Debido a que el alcohol en grandes cantidades puede ser tóxico para el corazón, le pueden solicitar que lo reduzca aun más o que deje de beber por completo.

La buena nutrición es importante para su salud cardíaca y controlará algunos de sus factores de riesgo. Ver también: cardiopatía y dieta.
