Heart risk knowledge can prompt healthy lifestyle changes
Have you had your heart checked recently? While ultrasound is becoming more popular for arterial scans (no radiation), speaking with your doctor about possibly heart disease -- and exact specifics -- may help you form a battle plan for winning.In other words, detail and more detail. A recent study suggested that those at risk for developing coronary heart disease do better with treatment when doctors give exact information on risk and overcoming that risk. Not "eat better" or some generality, but specific suggestions related to the exact type of coronary risk you may have.
never underestimate the way patients take in information and incorporate that into their daily lifestyles, no matter how averse they may seem to detailed information. At least, that is what this study is saying to me. How about you?
