To address the growing impact of cardiovascular disease in the Irish community, a cardiac care clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic, preventive and interventional services for managing these conditions.
Each year, over 9,000 people in Ireland lose their lives to cardiovascular disease (Irish Heart Foundation, 2023), with thousands more people living with its life-changing consequences. The burden of cardiovascular disease continues to grow, driven by lifestyle-related factors that, with proper management, could be addressed to improve heart health and save lives.
Lifestyle changes for better cardiac health
Factors such as diet, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle are some of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Active smoking and secondhand smoke exposure account for around 30% of deaths from coronary heart disease (Gallucci et al, 2020), and it is thought that over two-thirds of deaths from heart disease worldwide could be prevented with healthier diets (European Society of Cardiology, 2020). According to World Heart Federation statistics, 80% of premature heart disease and stroke are preventable.
Maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active and avoiding smoking are simple but powerful steps anyone can take. These simple lifestyle adjustments not only reduce the risk of heart disease but also improve quality of life, making them essential tools in combating the epidemic of heart disease in Ireland.
