Understanding cardiovascular disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. They can manifest as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness or unusual fatigue. It’s essential to be alert to these signals. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

What are the risk factors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, 85% of Quebecers aged 25 and over had at least one such risk factor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Hypertension<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Diabetes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Poor eating habits<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sedentary lifestyle<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chronic stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Genetics also play an important role. Knowing your family history is therefore an asset. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Prevention: a powerful key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Did you know that 75% of cardiovascular diseases could be prevented by a healthy lifestyle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This involves..:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Smoking cessation<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • At least 2h30 of physical activity per week<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Stress management and monitoring of blood pressure and blood sugar levels<\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
      \n
      \n

      Cardiac Monitoring is available in our clinics!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      CardioSTAT <\/strong>is a compact, lightweight, comfortable cardiac monitor (ECG recorder) designed for continuous, long-term monitoring. This heart rhythm monitoring system can detect arrhythmias. Available in 3 recording durations (48 h, 7 days or 14 days), CardioSTAT is easy to install and does not interfere with sleep. Unlike the Holter, it’s wireless, and no large adhesives are used on the skin, so you can get on with your daily activities. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Message from Dr. LeBlanc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      ” Heart health<\/strong> is built every day. It’s not about striving for perfection, but about making small, consistent choices that, put together, have a big impact.” <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
