Prevention Is A Critical Heart Disease Treatment Says SecondOpinion.org

(PRLEAP.COM) Every 35 seconds, an American dies from some form of cardiovascular disease. According to consumer information website secondopinion.org, taking steps now to prevent heart disease and reduce the high-risk behaviors which invite coronary heart disease may be the best treatment available.

“Even though our topic for this month is musculoskeletal, the issue of heart disease is just too critical to ignore,” says Dr. Shawn R. Benzinger, founder of secondopinion.org and noted Indianapolis physician. “Rheumatic, coronary, ischemic, even congenital heart disease—all carry risk factors and relationships to our behavior we can all try to understand now to help prevent the disease in the first place.”

Featured articles in October include anger and depression as contributors to heart disease in men, the relationship between stress and heart disease, and understanding the critical risk factors in women that increase the chance for heart disease to develop. This month’s book review content, Anger Management for Dummies, is available as streaming audio or video.

“One out of every two people who suffers a heart attack for the first time does not survive,” adds Dr. Benzinger. “It’s plain to see: preventing the first heart attack is one of the smartest choices you can make.”

Risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol—all conditions that can be managed and treated to lower the chances of developing heart disease. “There are simple changes you can make starting today that will drastically reduce your risk without the use of prescription drugs,” says Dr. Benzinger.

Each month, secondopinion.org seeks to truly inform consumers about special health topics of the month, and offers a searchable archive containing previous month’s subjects, articles and interview content. For more information, visit secondopinion.org.
