Coronary Heart Disease Summary

It is important to understand what coronary heart disease (CHD) is in order to alter a lifestyle to combat the disease. Poor cardiovascular health care habits can be highly detrimental to a person's health. Poor habits have a direct relation to lack of knowledge on the subject, in this case CHD. An inadequate supply of information can lead the continuation of a poor cardiovascular lifestyle, thus drastically raising the risk for CHD. In elementary terms, what you do not know can hurt you. In 2013, Dr. Laura E Flink teamed up with a group of her peers in the hopes of proving this claim. After extensive tests and prolonged studies, the group had concluded that “...[Anyone] may suffer disproportionately not only due to risk profile but also because
An example used in the study done by Dr. Flink and her team introduces the idea that a more informed patient ultimately has a greater chance of survival. If someone with little to no understanding of cardiovascular health is experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, their risk of fatality is high. If we compare this situation to someone experiencing the same symptoms but has an adequate awareness of cardiovascular health, then that patients with more knowledge of symptoms have a greater likelihood of calling 911.
