How to take care of your heart

We have talked to Grupo Corpal, a team of cardiologists in Cordoba with experience in a Global Cardiology dedicated since 1981 to diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, about what we can do to take care of our cardiovascular system´s health.

There are modifiable risk factors that if controlled, could prevent a large percentage of premature deaths from cardiovascular disease. Among them we find obesity, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco, hypertension, cholesterol, periodontal disease or diabetes.

Leading a heart-healthy life, doing regular physical exercise, eating a balanced diet and saying goodbye to tobacco and excesses, is essential to taking care of our heart.
