Acquired factors are lifestyle habits, such as: somewhat or very unhealthy eating habits that are high in carbohydrates and fat; lack of sufficient regular exercise, consuming toxic substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and obesity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Genetic factors, however, are those we are born with and that cannot be changed,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also made some recommendations about how to prevent cardiovascular diseases:\u00a0 <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Regular exercise a minimum of 3 times per week. <\/li>\n<li>Not eating foods that promote cholesterol formation, such as fried foods and flour. <\/li>\n<li>Not smoking, consuming alcohol, and other types of hallucinogenic drugs. <\/li>\n<li>When there is a history of acute myocardial infarction in one&#8217;s family history, especially younger than 50 years old, this is a genetic factor that must be considered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For patients who already have been diagnosed or who have a cardiovascular pathology, these recommendations are even more important. <\/p>\n<p>Likewise, according to the World Health Organization \u2013 WHO: &#8220;Every year more people die from cardiovascular disease than from any other cause.
