heart disease prevention
Avoiding cardiovascular illness
Heart disease prevention refers to measures taken to reduce the risk of cardiovascular illness—diet, exercise, not smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol.
The phrase appears in public health contexts and medical advice: Heart disease prevention starts with lifestyle changes.
Prevention may be primary (avoiding disease onset) or secondary (preventing recurrence after diagnosis).
