If you suffer from ischemic heart disease then is important to know how to constantly improve your condition or prevent it from getting worse. What is most important is your will and self control in order to reduce the risk factors of ischemia. In other words if want to get any better you shouldn’t rely only on your specialist, you should try changing your lifestyle. Here are some advices to lower the risk of ischemic heart disease:

For diagnosing ischaemic heart disease the doctors perform a series of tests depending whether the disease is with angina (symptomatic) or without-silent ischemia.

Angina attacks associated with risk factors for heart disease influence the doctor to diagnose a blockage in the coronary arteries very quickly. On the contrary, the diagnosis of silent ischemia is more difficult to establish. For people with silent ischemia who don’t show any obvious symptoms, if they are men with age over 40 years or women over 50, or if they have jobs related to public safety it is recommended they should start an adequate exercise program.
