Life After a Heart Attack
Life After a Heart Attack
A heart attack is a life-changing event that can leave you feeling uncertain about your health and your future. According to the American Heart Association, nearly 20% of people aged 45 and older who have a first heart attack will experience another within five years. Recovery is more than just medical treatment—it’s about making the lifestyle changes that protect your heart, lower your risk of another event, and help you regain confidence in daily life.
Healthy habits play a powerful role in recovery. Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, stress management, and quitting smoking can strengthen your heart and improve overall health. Managing other conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes is equally important. Even gradual, step-by-step changes can make a significant difference in reducing your risk and improving your quality of life.
