Your lifestyle has a big effect on your ability to recover quickly from your procedure.
A healthy lifestyle can also help you to avoid coronary artery disease in the future since it reduces the risk of other atherosclerotic (where the blood vessels become damaged and blocked) conditions like stroke, heart failure and aneurysms (when the artery wall is weakened and bulges).
Below is a list of various risk factors for cardiac artery disease whose impact can be reduced by positive changes in lifestyle.
They include:
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Weight loss and weight management (including obesity)
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Blood Lipids
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Diabetes (type 1 and type 2)
- Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
You can find information about each of these risk factors here in your library.
