Many people fail to realise that heart disease is a long process, not an event.
It begins early in life and it takes a long time to develop this problem. This
is why we urge people to learn about their risk factors and to speak with their
doctors about a healthier diet and exercise regimen, quit smoking and, if
appropriate, take medications that can lower cholesterol to safer levels and
ward off a potential heart or other complications. Checking with your doctor
before you experience any signs or symptoms of cardiovascular diseases could
save your life in the long run.
