A heart attack is one of the most common causes of death in old age, but there are certain warning signs , which if recognised at the right time, can prevent the attack. A few of these warning signs include hypertension, high blood cholesterol and high blood sugar. Increased blood pressure exerts an additional pressure on the heart to pump blood to other organs of the body. When the heart muscles are exerted, they become harder and stiffer and hence your risk of suffering from a heart attack increases.
Increasing blood cholesterol levels also pose a threat as cholesterol molecules get lodged in the walls of the arteries making it difficult for the blood to pass through. The cholesterol molecules not only block the arteries but also make them hard. It further contributes to an increased blood pressure increasing your risk of heart disease.
High blood glucose levels too increase your risk of suffering from a heart attack. High blood glucose levels affect the blood vessels capability of dilating which leads to inflammation and abnormal constriction of the arteries. High blood glucose levels also lead to plaque build up in the arteries and which can lead to blockage increasing your risk of a heart attack.
