Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of death globally, and remains the most common cause of death in Ireland. The main symptoms of CHD are: 

However, not everyone has the same symptoms and some people may not experience any before CHD is diagnosed. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the risk factors.

Risk factors for developing CHD:

  • High cholesterol
  • Overweight or obese
  • Unhealthy diet and lifestyle
  • Smoking
  • High blood pressure
  • High blood glucose (sugar) readings

Coronary heart disease can't be cured, but treatment can help manage the symptoms and reduce the chances of problems such as heart attacks.

You can reduce your risk of developing CHD by making some simple lifestyle changes. These include:

Q&A

What should you do if you think you are at risk of CHD?

If you suspect that you are at risk of developing CHD, you should speak with your GP to take blood tests to confirm the diagnosis or evidence of risk factors.

Once you have a diagnosis or, if you are at risk of developing CHD, booking an appointment with a 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.
