Prevention and Management of Cardiovascular Disease through Physical Exercise
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is rapidly increasing in incidence and prevalence worldwide. As a result there is growing concern not only about the rapid increase but in the changing pattern of these diseases that are now appearing in developing countries. This change in pattern is partly due to the sedentary lifestyle now occurring in these countries of economic transition. It is being projected that with this epidemiologic shift, the burden of cardiovascular disease will be greater in the years to come. Hence experts advocate the importance of applying a life course approach to the prevention and control of these diseases. Physical exercise plays a major role in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. It not only addresses the sedentary lifestyle but is also able to control most cardiovascular disease risk factors. If health care professionals can ensure compliance to prescribed physical exercise, then the much advocated life course approach to prevention and control of cardiovascular disease has been identified.
