The most common heart diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are caused by fatty deposits (cholesterol) visible on the walls of the arteries. This accumulation forms atheromatous plaques that restrict the flow of blood.
- Feeling of searing weakness in the face, arm or leg
- Sudden decrease in sight in one eye
- Difficulty speaking
- Loss of equilibrium
- Severe headache
- Pain in the chest and shoulder
- Strong palpitations
- Nausea, vomiting not associated with digestive disorders
This pathology is characterized by the inability of the heart to perform its role of circulating blood around the body. There are multiple causes but the main reasoning for heart failure is that of inactivity. If it is used less, the heart muscle can weaken over time.
A healthy heart is the motor of life.
Our English-speaking cardiologists welcome you for the diagnosis and treatment of all your cardiovascular problems.
How to prevent heart problems?
Heart diseases aren’t curable, therefore it is even more important to adopt a preventative focus over your lifetime to reduce your likelihood of suffering from one. It is possible to anticipate them by addressing the risk factors.
It has been shown that stopping smoking, having a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, exercise and reducing alcohol consumption are all factors that limit the risk of cardiovascular disease.
