Advances in technology are increasingly sophisticated and can be used to treat diseases that are difficult to overcome. However, in fact, the death rate from heart disease is still high. Even the WHO said that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world.
"30 percent of heart problems in men and 45 percent occur in women with no previous symptoms., But the study found 75 percent of heart patients could be identified with these 5 simple numbers," said Thomas Behrenbeck, MD, a heart disease expert from the Mayo Clinic in the conference press 'The 2nd Annual East Meets West Cardiology Symposium' at Ritz Carlton Hotel, Pacific Place
This simple figures in the U.S. are familiar with the term called 'Know Your Numbers' and consists of:
1. Figures blood pressure
Said to be high blood pressure if it is above 140/90. Globally, hypertension is divided into 2 stages. Stage 1 if the numbers above (systolic) over 140 but still below 160, but the bottom (diastolic) is over 90 but still above 100. If it exceeds 160/100 means already in stage 2.
Pemisahahn is done for consideration in choosing a drug. There is also the so-called prehypertension, systolic blood pressure that is if (top) has already reached 135. At this stage the patient has not needed medication, but it needs to modify lifestyle
2. Blood Sugar Levels
Measurement of blood sugar include several criteria. When normal blood sugar is less than 120 and a fasting blood sugar of less than 116. There is also a regulation to determine blood HbA1c 3 months, its range must be under 70. If it exceeds normal levels, the risk of developing diabetes and the risk of developing the disease eventually metabolites, including heart disease.
3. Cholesterol Levels
In the measurement of cholesterol, there are some things that need to be examined, namely total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglsierida. The most important are the levels of LDL or bad cholesterol.
Ideally the number of LDL measurement below the 160 if there are no risk factors. If existing risk factors such as hypertension and had a habit of smoking, the figure should be below 130., But if it has ever had a heart attack, the number should be below 100.
4. Weight
Weight loss is calculated based on ideal body weight compared to height called the Body Mass Index (BMI). Asian people ideally have a BMI below 25. Besides BMI, can also be used waist size guide.
Waist circumference should men under 100cm and women under 90 cm. Pengukuranya calculated at a point located approximately 2 fingers below the navel.
5. Habits Sports
Exercise should be done every day for 30 minutes. If not could be done 3 times a week with each of 30 minutes duration. Chosen sport should exercise such as aerobic cardio. The more rarely exercise, the risk of heart disease will also be greater.
