Cardiovascular Blockage – Also Known as the “No.1 Killer”
In recent years, cardiovascular blockage has accounted for up to 15% of sudden deaths in Malaysia, particularly among men. Intense exercise is also one of the reasons for the increased rate of sudden death.
Cardiovascular blockage refers to the obstruction of blood flow within the arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process in which plaques formed by cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances build up on the artery walls. These plaques gradually enlarge, causing the artery lumen to narrow or even become completely blocked.
Causes of Cardiovascular Blockage
The causes of cardiovascular blockage include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and unhealthy eating habits. Many people are unaware of their body’s condition and ignore warning signals. If you felt chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, leg pain or cramps, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.
Sudden death often occurs because the patient had no prior symptoms and collapses or dies without warning. Therefore, we must take good care of our health in our daily lives.
Ways to Prevent Cardiovascular Blockage

- Regular Exercise: Maintain regular physical activity with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
- Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol: Avoid tobacco and drink alcohol in moderation.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Keep a healthy weight.
