What cardiovascular risk factors exist?

The Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Risk Factors constitute one of the fundamental pillars of Preventive Medicine. The eradication or control of the factors that can not be avoided, mark safely the possibility of avoiding a Cardio or Cerebrovascular Accident.

Although there are other factors, we can point out as "first line", Diabetes, Hypertension, Cholesterol, Obesity, Sedentary, Smoking and Stress.

Although we are accustomed to assess the importance of treating hypertension, diabetes or an increase in cholesterol, we rarely take care of setting the necessary conditions to control, through changes in lifestyle, the risk to which we are exposed.

In general, Healthy Habits should preside over our lifestyle. It is a recommended task and in many cases, we turn our backs.
