Prevention

Causes

Knowing the common causes of MACEs can lead to life-saving early detection or even complete prevention. Here are the most common risk factors.

Risk Factors

High Blood pressure, Diabetes, Smoking, Tobacco use
Family history/ current diagnosis of Cardiac disease
- Myocarditis, Cardiomyopathy, Congenital Heart Disease
Association with minority race and increased risk of MACEs

Steps for Prevention

Luckily, there are many measures a person can take to prevent or slow the onset of a MACE. If a MACE does happen, these steps can cause the severity to be milder.

Increased intake of vitamin K2

Increased vitamin K2 intake has the potential to reduce arterial stiffness and also help slow or even prevent vascular and valvular calcification. In addition, it may lower the incidence of diabetes, and coronary artery disease and decrease cardiovascular mortality.

Testing for Cardiac Disease Biomarkers

Testing levels of Biomarkers can greatly increase the chances of catching the disease early on. This is especially important if you or your family has a history of congenital disease in general. Talk with your doctor to formulate a plan right for you.

Healthy Lifestyle Behavior

In general, healthy lifestyle choices can greatly reduce your chance for MACE. Activities such as eating healthy food, being physically active, and managing stress can play a huge role in overall cardiac health
