Cardiological prevention in Munich
Make the right provisions early on
Diseases of the cardiovascular system are widespread in our society. Despite many treatment and prevention options, they are still the most common cause of death in the western world.
Poor diet and lack of exercise as well as genetic factors are often the cause of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and lipometabolic disorders. Like nicotine consumption, these risk factors lead to arteriosclerosis by damaging our blood vessels. They can trigger a heart attack or stroke. The risk of such a disease increases the more risk factors a person has and the longer they are exposed to them.
The increasing number of overweight children and adolescents with so-called adult-onset diabetes and high blood pressure is a cause for concern. They are already at risk at a young age. Later on, time pressure and stress in work and family life contribute to the increased risk of illness. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, preventive healthcare is often forgotten.
