Experts emphasize lifestyle changes and early detection to combat increasing cardiovascular issues.

Cardiologists report a significant increase in heart disease among young adults, attributing it to unhealthy lifestyles including poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress.
Women face unique heart disease risks, such as complications from pregnancy and autoimmune diseases, and often experience less obvious symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.
Experts recommend regular screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, along with adopting healthier lifestyles to prevent heart disease.
Simple daily habits like eating a balanced diet, engaging in moderate exercise, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can significantly improve heart health.
Precision medicine and AI-driven risk assessments are emerging as effective tools for personalized prevention strategies, addressing the genetic and cultural nuances of cardiovascular disease.
