Activities to Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
There are some activities you can take to stay healthy and avoid developing certain cardiovascular disease.
* Must be physically active for the nature of each individual.
* You must prevent overweight and obesity by controlling your diet.
* Eat a diet low in animal fat and rich in fruits and vegetables, legumes, fish, vegetables, is excellent called Mediterranean diet, and cholesterol tests performed at least 4 times a year.
* Do not abuse alcohol and if you smoke, quit if you can not reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
* Remember to measure your blood pressure regularly, if you notice changes that are not normal, please consult your doctor.
* Also keep in mind that should be vaccinated at least every 10 years against tetanus and flu every year, especially if it belongs to high-risk groups, such as diabetes, respiratory or coronary heart disease.
* Do not expose too many hours in the sun, especially when very high temperatures.
* Conduct regular surveys and consultations with his trusted specialist to detect colon cancer early, especially if a patient has a family history, and serves on the group of risk factors.
* If you’ve spent 40 years, and is a man, remember that studies should be performed periodically to determine the status of your arteries and cardiovascular system.
Please consult a specialist trust, prevention is better than cure.

Increases Hypertension Among Spanish
Experts call for a more generic intervention to prevent cardiovascular events in people at high risk, and also recommend smoking cessation and reducing salt intake
More than 200 experts in hypertension have gathered in Seville to celebrate Hypertension Annual Meeting organized by the Spanish Society of Cardiology (ESC). At the meeting were released the results of several studies related to the treatment of hypertension (HTA) conducted in primary care and cardiology services, an example of these is the TABARCA study that analyzes the influence of snuff in cardiovascular complications in patients admitted to hospital for an acute coronary syndrome.
Another central thrust of the meeting has been prevention in patients at high risk if, as says Dr. Pilar Mazon, president of the Hypertension Section of the SEC, “we must move towards a more vigorous intervention, both pharmacological as reinforcing the changes in lifestyle, with special emphasis on the abandonment of snuff, including smoking cessation drugs. It should consider the cardiovascular risk in a comprehensive manner, taking into account renal function and extracardiac vascular level.
Primary Hypertension
The causes of hypertension are varied and depend on what kind of hypertension is concerned. Today we will talk of primary hypertension, which is what they have 80% of people.
In primary hypertension the cause is unknown and there is a specific disease that caused it is believed that there is a genetic component and / or inherited responsibility for it.
This type of hypertension is influenced by different factors interacting with genetic susceptibility to increase blood pressure. Common factors in primary hypertension are:
Cardiovascular Adaptation To Exercise
Heart rate
Among the cardiovascular changes observed a decrease in heart rate (heart beats per minute) at rest and during performance of a submaximal exercise intensity, no perceptible changes in heart rate usually peak with training. That is, the same mechanical stress (eg running at 12 km / h) before training could make an effort for the agency regarding heart rate of 140 beats / min. and after 4 weeks of aerobic training lead 130 bpm. Undoubtedly it is a positive development and improved cardiovascular fitness. The heart rate therefore is a parameter easy to measure, which quantifies in a practical and real intensity cardiovascular exertion level. Their knowledge allows us to objectify the intensity of exercise and prescribe training loads based on this parameter. Also we carry out a transfer of the effort in Ergometries (stress tests performed in the exercise physiology laboratories) to the sporting arena. For this reason, more and more often, athletes in their training and competitions, mainly endurance athletes, who use heart rate monitors, telemetry, allow them to know at any time heart rate.
