HECHOS

Ciertos comportamientos también suponen un riesgo de sufrir una enfermedad cardíaca. Entre ellos se encuentran:

  1. Fumar: El tabaquismo es una de las principales causas de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y provoca aproximadamente 1 de cada 4 muertes por enfermedades del corazón.
  2. Llevar una dieta inadecuada: Una dieta rica en grasas, sal, azúcar y colesterol puede contribuir al desarrollo de enfermedades del corazón.
  3. No hacer ejercicio: Aunque el ejercicio físico reduce el riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardíacas y de muerte prematura, sólo la mitad de los estadounidenses realiza la cantidad recomendada de actividad aeróbica.
  4. Beber alcohol en exceso: El consumo excesivo de alcohol puede aumentar el riesgo de infarto, insuficiencia cardíaca y muerte. El consumo excesivo de alcohol puede dañar el corazón incluso antes de que aparezcan los síntomas.
  5. Depresión: Los adultos con un trastorno depresivo o con síntomas de depresión tienen un 64% más de riesgo de desarrollar una enfermedad coronaria.
  6. Obesidad: El sobrepeso o la obesidad están relacionados con varios factores que aumentan el riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardiovasculares, como la diabetes y la hipertensión arterial.
  7. Las enfermedades del corazón son las responsables de la mayoría de las muertes en todo el mundo, tanto en hombres como en mujeres de todas las razas.

  • En 2018, 30,3 millones de adultos estadounidenses fueron diagnosticados con enfermedades del corazón.

  • Aproximadamente el 12% de las personas que sufren un ataque al corazón morirán a causa de él.
  • La enfermedad coronaria, una obstrucción de las arterias que suministran sangre al corazón, es el tipo más común de enfermedad cardíaca. La enfermedad coronaria afecta a unos 18,2 millones de estadounidenses de 20 años o más, y mató a casi 366.000 en 2017.
