Know your Risks
Cardiovascular Health
There are several risk factors for developing heart disease, some that you can’t control, but some you can take an active role in. Common risk factors include:
Smoking
Obesity
Lack of physical activity
Drinking too much alcohol
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Family history of heart disease, particularly if a parent or sibling
For many people, heart problems won’t present any noticeable symptoms, making it even more important to receive regular check-ups with a physician to check blood pressure and perform any necessary blood tests. The providers at KnowNOW will evaluate your risks, monitor your blood pressure, and provide advice for making healthier lifestyle choices.
