CARDIOVASCULAR CARE FOR DIABETIC PEOPLE

 

 

Diabetic people are considered to always be at a high risk of a heart attack or a stroke. However, these risks can be eliminated through proper health care, physical routine, and a healthy diet.

Here are some ways you can eliminate the risk of  heart attack or a stroke:

 

1.Keeping Check On Blood Pressure: Blood pressure is the pace at which the blood flows inside our blood vessels. When our blood flows at a greater speed it can cause damage to the arteries due to excessive pressure. This can lead to major health issues and can harm our eyesight or kidneys. It is important to get your blood pressure checked often if you’re diabetic. High blood pressure in a diabetic person is termed as hypertension. In order to keep it in check doctors might ask you to adapt to a healthy lifestyle or even prescribe some medications:

• ACE Inhibitors: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors are effective for diabetic people with high blood pressure as they relax our vessels by preventing the formation of Angiotensin hormone in the body.
• Calcium Channel Blockers: can be used as a replacement of ACE inhibitors if you don’t have any kidney related problems. They help to keep your blood vessels relaxed by preventing calcium from entering the vessels.
• Water Pills: are recommend to remove extra water and sodium from the body through urination. They reduce the water content in the arteries, thereby, reducing pressure on the blood vessels and keeping the heart fit.

2.Maintaining Normal Cholesterol Levels: Another way to keep your heart healthy is by maintaining the cholesterol level in your body. It is a kind of a fat produced by our liver. It can clog your blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attack. A healthy lifestyle and a proper diet plays a major role in decreasing the cholesterol levels in the body.
