As we age, several physiological changes occur that can increase the risk of developing heart conditions, including the following<sup>2<\/sup>: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The heart muscles tend to thicken over time, and this thickening can make it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently. As the heart works harder to pump blood through the body, this can lead to increased blood pressure, a common condition in older adults\u200b\u200b.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The arteries that supply blood to the heart can become stiffer and less elastic. This stiffness can lead to higher blood pressure and make the heart work harder. Over time, this can contribute to the risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases\u200b\u200b.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Age-related changes in the heart can lead to arrhythmias, which are changes in the regular beat of the heart. These can range from harmless to serious conditions that require treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifestyle modifications play a pivotal role in managing and mitigating the risks associated with the aging heart. Encouraging a diet low in saturated fats, maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking can all contribute to healthier aging of the heart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-daily-management-and-preventative-care\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daily_management_and_preventative_care\"><\/span><strong>Daily management and preventative care<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renowned Cardiologist Bill McEvoy offers his advice on how continued family support can help their loved ones prevent future heart health problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>People who have had a heart event are at the highest risk of a future event,\u201d says Johns Hopkins cardiologist Bill McEvoy, M.B., B.Ch. \u201cIt\u2019s common for a heart attack or other events to serve as a wake-up call to change unhealthy habits. But it\u2019s also true that over time, you can grow complacent and return to the old habits that got you in trouble in the first place.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. McEvoy explains that the moment you\u2019ve had your first heart attack, the chances of having another one increase significantly. It\u2019s important to help your loved one make lifestyle changes that reduce the risk of further heart damage, and research tells us that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of heart attacks.<sup>4<\/sup> Here are some things to keep in mind<sup>2<\/sup>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay on schedule with medications: <\/strong>Establishing a <a href=\"..\/..\/daily-habits-for-a-vibrant-senior-lifestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-5-color\">consistent ro<\/mark><\/a><a href=\"..\/ ..\/daily-habits-for-a-vibrant-senior-lifestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-5-color\">utine<\/mark><\/a> can significantly help your loved one remember to take their medications on time. Consider setting alarms or using pill organizers to help with the risk of double dosing or missing doses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat right: <\/strong>Transitioning to a heart-healthy diet is easier when you help your loved one stock the fridge and pantry with heart-healthy food options. Opt for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoiding processed foods and those high in saturated fats can help manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart complications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Move more: <\/strong>Incorporating physical activity into their daily routine can be a fun and effective way to strengthen the heart. Start with light exercises like walking in a local park or following an online workout suited to your loved one&#8217;s fitness level. Regular exercise has an abundance of benefits, but most importantly, it will help maintain a healthy weight and lower blood pressure to help improve overall heart health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quit smoking: <\/strong>If your loved one smokes, there has never been a more appropriate time for them to quit. Also, if anyone else in the household smokes, it\u2019s important for them to do so outside to prevent secondhand smoke for the sake of your loved one\u2019s heart health. Quitting smoking can rapidly improve heart function and decrease the risk of future heart attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Know the numbers:<\/strong> Keeping track of vital health metrics such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body mass index (BMI) can provide insights into your loved one&#8217;s heart health and overall well-being. Regular monitoring at home or through healthcare provider visits can help detect potential issues early and adjust care plans as needed to maintain optimal heart health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-knowing-the-signs-of-a-heart-attack-nbsp-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Knowing_the_signs_of_a_heart_attack\"><\/span><strong>Knowing the signs of a heart attack&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know the warning signs of a heart attack? With your loved one being at high risk for future heart complications, educating yourself about the warning signs can help you identify when it\u2019s happening and respond promptly. Here\u2019s what you should look for<sup>2<\/sup>: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chest discomfort (including pressure, pain or fullness in the chest)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortness of breath&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold sweat&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightheadedness&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or a loved one experiences any of these warning signs, seek immediate medical attention; it could save their life.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-caregiver-s-role-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_caregivers_role\"><\/span><strong>The caregiver&#8217;s role<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your role as the caregiver plays an important role in the lives of those with heart disease. You offer much-needed support, care, and love, which can significantly impact the well-being and recovery of your loved ones. However, the caregiving journey is often taxing, both emotionally and physically. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s crucial to remember that taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity to continue providing the best care possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-care is fundamental for caregivers, but finding the time to care for yourself isn\u2019t possible sometimes. That\u2019s when respite care could make all the difference. <a href=\"..\/..\/what-is-respite-care-a-quick-guide-for-family-caregivers-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-5-color\">Respite <\/mark><\/a><a href=\"..\/..\/what-is-respite-care-a-quick-guide-for-family-caregivers-2\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-awb-color-5-color\">care<\/mark><\/a> is a vital service that provides caregivers a temporary rest from their caregiving duties.

Respite care also ensures that your loved ones continue to receive professional and compassionate care in your absence, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-homewell-s-support-for-heart-health\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HomeWells_support_for_heart_health\"><\/span><strong>HomeWell\u2019s support for heart health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the journey of caring for a loved one with heart disease, caregivers stand as the cornerstone of daily management and emotional support.
