Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S. But despite how common —and deadly — heart disease is, many people don't know all that much about it.
Research has shown that "aggressive medications" can slowly and subtly reverse heart disease, Batiste says, along with following a plant-based diet. Treatments like a stent and even open heart surgery can also help, depending on what form of heart disease a person has and how severe it is, he says.
Medicare should help cover screening tests, like primary care doctor's visits and treatments for heart disease, Batiste says.It's important to first call 911 if someone is having a heart attack, Batiste says. "[Don't] try and get them in your car, [don't] try and move them or anything of that sort, but call 911 immediately, and stay by their side," he says.
If the person doesn't have an allergy to aspirin and you have one available, you can offer them one. "Chewing an aspirin immediately ...becomes important," Batiste says. Chewing the medication allows it to be absorbed into the lining of the mouth immediately, he explains. An aspirin can help decrease clotting that could be blocking a blood vessel. "It won't alleviate completely, but it's very helpful," he adds.
"There's no magic pill for any of this stuff." That, he says, is why a healthy lifestyle is so crucial in the prevention of heart disease.
