UNDERSTANDING CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: INSIGHTS WITH DR. STEFANO CHIARAMONTE | HEART HEALTH

Good morning, accompanied by a salute and a warm greeting with a little cup of coffee. Today we are joined by Dr. Stefano Cianamonte, a nephologist who specializes in cardiovascular risk studies. Good morning, doctor. Good coffee. What is the risk of vascular cancer? Can you explain? The idea of cardiovascular risk refers to the probability that each individual faces in developing a cardiovascular disease throughout their lifetime. The concept of following us from birth until we die is fundamental in our lives, persisting throughout. So at what point does cardiovascular risk transition? Cardiovascular events pose a significant risk as they profoundly affect every individual's life. Moreover, such events have a serious impact and often lead to lasting aftereffects, even causing disability. Their potential implications make them a perilous threat to one's well-being. So it's never a trivial concept, it's a serious matter. Is it a male disease or a female disease? There may be a slight difference in the proportions of males and females affected, but it's not substantial. Overall, it poses a slightly greater problem for males rather than females. How much does it relate to bad lifestyle? We possess a comprehensive comprehension regarding numerous factors that contribute to cardiovascular risk. These encompass various scenarios that arise due to behaviors, habits, lifestyles, or other conditions which have the potential to engender cardiovascular diseases. Is it a risk tied to a specific age or can it occur at any age? We can say that depending on the types of risk factors, it can emerge at any age, and as one progresses in chronological age, it increasingly affects one more. Doctor, kindly come back and enlighten us about the necessary measures to be taken in case we suspect any signs of cardiovascular problems. For the time being, let's relish a cup of coffee and plan to meet again. Absolutely. Thank you. Soon. Is this coffee bitter or is it sweet? The perspective matters. It can be bitter due to the potential for creating issues, yet it is sweet because many of these challenges can be tackled and resolved. How would you rate it on our scale to measure the sweetness of sugar? Let's put it in the middle for now. Alright, thank you. Have a good coffee and see you next time. To you.
