❤️ Heart Health: 3 Common Misconceptions
1. “If I feel well, my heart must be healthy.”
Not necessarily. Some cardiovascular risk factors, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol, may have no obvious symptoms.
2. “Heart problems only affect older people.”
Heart disease can affect people at different ages. Family history, lifestyle and other health factors can influence individual risk.
3. “I only need a heart check if I have symptoms.”
A heart health assessment can also be useful for understanding your individual risk factors, particularly if you have concerns about your family history, blood pressure, cholesterol or lifestyle.
❤️ Looking after your heart starts with understanding your risk.
