Can exercise cause a heart attack?
According to experts, regular exercise does not increase the risk of suffering a heart attack , in fact, it significantly reduces it. Physical activity is one of the most effective methods to prevent cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks.
It helps strengthen the heart, improve blood flow, lower blood pressure , regulate cholesterol levels and contribute to maintaining a healthy weight.
However, if someone has pre-existing heart problems or poorly controlled risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease, it is important to consult a doctor before beginning an intense exercise routine.
