Patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations each play
an important role in maintaining and improving heart health.
Overweight
People who have too much body fat are more likely to develop heart
disease and stroke even if they have no other risk factors. Obesity is
unhealthy because it increases the strain on the heart.
