Certolab Addresses Cardiovascular Disease in Recognition of World Heart Day 2023

Heart diseases are the leading cause of death in Mexico, exceeding even deaths from COVID-19. In recognition of World Heart Day, Certolab offers the tests to detect risk of heart disease in even otherwise-healthy patients.

Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, obesity, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking have contributed to heart diseases becoming the leading cause of death in Mexico, exceeding even COVID-19 deaths. According to INEGI, in 2021 deaths from heart conditions rose to 226,703, which was 7,999 more cases than in 2020. Heart attacks accounted for 78.2% of these deaths. Nearly 55% of these conditions were recorded in men, and people aged 45 and older are the majority affected, although there is also a significant incidence in the age group 30 to 34.

The primary cause of death in Mexico is ischemic heart disease, better known as myocardial infarction, followed by other cardiovascular conditions such as strokes, embolisms, and aortic stenosis among many more. In this regard, specialist cardiologists from the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez point out that people should undergo medical check-ups every 5 years starting from adolescence and be aware of their family history, as early attention is the primary strategy to prevent heart disease and premature deaths.

The first step is to look at family history and rule out genes. This simply involves finding if any direct relative -- parents, grandparents, uncles, great-grandparents - suffered or died from any heart disease. This indicates if a family is more likely to develop heart problems.

However, heart diseases are highly varied. Besides genes, heart diseases can also originate from the following:

· infection or inflammation, such as endocarditis or rheumatic valvulitis

· heart failure (unclear origin)

· arrhythmias

But the most prevalent and deadly are ischemic diseases, where myocardial infarction is considered. Lifestyle is another factor that increases with family predisposition.

Across its 3 branches - Haciendas, Izcalli and San Miguel - Certolab medical laboratory has been performing tests to identify individuals at a higher risk of suffering heart attacks, even when they appear to be completely healthy, particularly people who do not have common risk factors.

These studies include specific evaluations using advanced technology to identify cholesterol plaques within the heart or within the coronary arteries. Some methods use ultrasound evaluations of the carotid arteries, which are the arteries of the neck, to determine how thick their walls are.

Early identification of cardiovascular issues is very crucial, as knowing who has a high risk of having heart attacks can initiate preventative treatments and interventions to protect them from suffering heart attacks in the future.

Certolab urges patients to protect their heart health today. Customers can purchase tests for blood cholesterol levels, blood pressure, diabetes control and more online through Certolab.com. Periodic laboratory analyses, combined with healthy habits like exercise, non-smoking, proper weight, eating well, and drinking enough water, are the definitive key to preventing these diseases even in individuals who don't appear to have these risk factors. One should never forget to visit the doctor to get the proper guidance and undergo tests in reputable laboratories like Certolab Medical Laboratory, to ensure that the results are reliable and useful for timely and appropriate medical diagnosis.
