Consumption
Alcohol can affect blood pressure, heart rhythm, and other aspects of cardiovascular health.
Reducing or avoiding alcohol can be a sensible part of protecting overall health, particularly for people with existing medical conditions or other stroke risk factors.
Do not rely on claims that small amounts of alcohol are necessary for heart protection.
Tip 9: Attend Regular Health Checkups
Some important stroke risk factors develop without noticeable symptoms.
Routine medical appointments can help identify high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol, and certain heart rhythm problems.
If you have atrial fibrillation or another cardiovascular condition, follow your healthcare professional’s advice
