Dr. Ambuj Roy, a renowned cardiologist from AIIMS, highlights the increased risk of heart diseases for individuals who have had a severe case of COVID-19, with this heightened risk persisting for at least one year. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring and managing risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol for these survivors.
Dr. Roy also points out that the rising incidence of heart attacks in India can be attributed to factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, tobacco use, uncontrolled high blood pressure, stress, and obesity, particularly central obesity.
To reduce the risk of a heart attack, he recommends adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, smoking cessation, stress management, and maintaining a healthy weight. These measures are crucial for both preventing and managing heart disease, even for those with existing coronary artery disease. Additionally, seeking treatment for other health conditions that increase the risk of heart attacks is essential.
