00:00You mentioned about why they look healthy but they get a heart attack, right?
00:04So, well looks can be deceiving as you know, right?
00:08We often hear of people who look healthy and most of them they are young
00:14but suddenly they suffer a heart attack or probably sudden cardiac arrest.
00:18So maybe what are the early warning signs that sometimes it's already there or subtle
00:24but they tend to ignore it so maybe you could share in terms of their red flag sign and symptoms
00:28that the patient should not ignore?
00:30I think yes because I've been with this profession for the last more than 30 years
00:36and I've seen the changes that has happened both from the patient perspective
00:41and from the technology perspective.
00:43And I think first of all with regards to younger patients getting heart disease, yes I think that's the truth.
00:50The reason, well you mentioned about why they look healthy but they get a heart attack, right?
00:57So, well looks can be deceiving as you know, right?
01:01So the thing is most important is what do they have with them in terms of both genetics and diseases, right?
01:10So, and lifestyle.
01:12So what you cannot avoid is your genetics.
01:15So if your genes, you carry genes that have got high risk of coronary disease or heart disease,
01:20then unfortunately you will have it, yeah?
01:23Secondly, males are more prone than females, right?
01:26So you're lucky, right?
01:28So then that's the one that you can change.
01:30But the one you can change would be those that you, lifestyle.
01:35No exercise, you should exercise, smoking can stop smoking, food intake that you can cut down, right?
01:41Then the diseases itself.
01:43So if unfortunately you have diabetes or hypertension or high cholesterolemia,
01:49then you should manage that and make sure that you take care of it well.
01:54So like in IGN, we have a new clinic that goes for reducing risk factors, right?
02:00So if you have diabetes, the idea is to prevent getting complication of diabetes.
02:04So the red flags are those factors.
02:07If you have those issues, then you should be cutting them one by one.
02:12So if you're smoking, stop smoking, you're not exercising, exercise and so on.
