What symptoms should I look out for?
If you suspect that you are at risk of developing CVD or CHD, you should speak with your GP to take blood tests to confirm the diagnosis or evidence of risk factors.
- High cholesterol
- Overweight or obese
- Unhealthy diet and lifestyle
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- High blood glucose (sugar) readings
What should I do if I am at risk of Cardiovascular disease?
Once you have a diagnosis or, if you are at risk of developing CHD, booking an appointment with a registered dietitian will be your next step. A dietitian can help you to optimise your diet and lifestyle to prevent the development of CHD, manage your condition or prevent progression of the disease.
