Angina (Angina Pectoris)
#angina, #chest pain, #myocardial infarction, #coronary artery, #atherosclerosis, #stent, #sudden death
Angina is a cardiovascular condition in which the coronary arteries — the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart — become narrowed, causing a dull chest pain. Because heart disease can be a major cause of sudden death, if you feel chest discomfort that is different from what you normally experience, please do not delay in consulting a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Coronary artery disease is a condition that occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, become narrowed or blocked. Angina and myocardial infarction are the main types, and myocardial infarction is an emergency that needs prompt treatment. If you have symptoms such as chest pain, seek immediate medical attention.2026-06-26

Heart Failure

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot supply as much blood as the body needs. With appropriate treatment and management, it is possible to maintain daily life, but if left untreated, symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling can worsen. If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, or obesity, please see a medical specialist regularly.2026-06-26

Heat Waves and Heart Health
#heat wave, #sudden cardiac death, #heat stroke, #heat-related illness, #heart attack, #angina, #cardiac arrest, #arrhythmia, #hydration, #summer health, #dizziness, #feeling faint, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #fainting, #loss of consciousness, #syncope, #breath holding, #difficulty breathing, #shortness of breath, #choking sensation
Extreme heat raises the risk of angina, heart attack, and cardiac arrest by increasing heart rate, promoting blood clotting, and placing added strain on the heart. Older adults age 65 and older, people with cardiovascular disease, and those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes need to be especially careful. On days when a heat wave warning is issued, please stay active indoors for safety.2026-06-26

Lower Extremity Arterial Disease (Peripheral Arterial Disease)
#lower extremity arterial disease, #peripheral arterial disease, #peripheral vascular disease, #leg pain, #atherosclerosis, #limb ischemia, #diabetic foot, #numbness in the hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling in the legs
Lower extremity arterial disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the legs become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow and causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, and delayed wound healing. Delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications, so please be sure to consult a medical specialist if you experience any unusual symptoms in your legs.2026-06-26

Obesity

Obesity is a chronic disease in which excess body fat accumulates, and it can cause various complications, such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and arthritis. Under Asia-Pacific criteria, obesity is diagnosed when body mass index (BMI) is 25 kg/m² or higher, and, like high blood pressure and diabetes, it is a condition that needs lifelong management. Please consult a medical specialist before deciding on a treatment method.2026-06-26
