What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease?
+Common symptoms of coronary artery disease include chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and fatigue. However, some people may not experience any symptoms until the disease has progressed.
How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?
+To reduce your risk of heart disease, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Additionally, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol can significantly reduce your risk.
What is the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest?
+A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle. Cardiac arrest, on the other hand, occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, often due to a severe arrhythmia. While a heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest, they are distinct medical emergencies that require prompt attention.
