Cardiovascular diseases remain among the leading causes of death in Luxembourg, but a healthy lifestyle can largely prevent them. Even small, consistent changes in your daily routine can make a big difference to your heart health in the long run.

​

Exercise: Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days of the week has been proven to strengthen the heart and circulatory system. Even after heart disease, exercise can be safely and effectively resumed – learn more in our sports cardiology and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs.

​

Quit smoking:

One of the most effective single steps to reduce cardiovascular risk – positive effects often begin within just a few weeks.

​

Stress management:

Conscious recovery phases can help to lower blood pressure (see also: High blood pressure – the silent risk factor) and overall risk.

 

Regular checks:

Have your blood pressure, cholesterol ( more information under Dyslipidemia Management ) and blood sugar checked regularly, as many risk factors often go unnoticed for a long time – we offer the appropriate diagnostics directly in our practice.
