Taking
care of your heart
It
is never too late to reduce your risk of developing
coronary heart disease. As soon as you do something
about risk factors, your chances improve and you
reduce the risk of a second or subsequent heart
attack.
If your doctor confirms that you have coronary
heart disease, then it is most important that
you immediately begin to do something about your
risk factors. You may need to be prescribed drugs
to help you reduce your risk and alleviate the
symptoms.
If you take the necessary steps and work closely
with your doctor, you should find that your health
improves and life becomes more enjoyable.
