How do Anvayaa’s Patient Care Services Help Elderly People With Heart Problems? 

Elderly people are at risk of heart problems, and it is the responsibility of patient caretakers and nurses to take care of them. Many elderly people lead a sedentary lifestyle which may lead to cholesterol accumulation and affect their cardiac health tremendously. Sometimes, cardiac diseases running in the family may be unknown to the senior patient. Malnutrition and irregular heart check-ups may contribute to the rising cases of heart problems amongst senior citizens. Therefore, it is imperative for family members to avail quality nursing services at home for their elderly parents from credible elderly care service providers who would ensure the cardiac health of senior patients.  
 

Heart attacks and cardiac failures can be prevented and mitigated with prompt medical actions. In metro cities, the elderly population lives alone. In case of cardiac arrest or heart attack, no person might be available to call an ambulance. With Anvayaa’s home nursing services in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Chennai, cases of hospitalization and fatalities amongst the elderly might be reduced.  

Before we dive further into how Anvayaa’s patient care services take care of the elderly with heart problems, let us know what the causes and risks that aggravate their cardiac problems are.  

Why are some elderly at risk of heart problems?  

With low physical activity in old age, blood circulation reduces in senior citizens. In case they are obese or have genetic heart diseases, their chances of heart attack and stroke increase.  

Diet, malnutrition, and a sedentary lifestyle also contribute to poor cardiac health. After retirement, elderly people live a non-active lifestyle. They go out minimally and normally stay home. 

Due to mobility issues, it also becomes difficult for them to cook on their own or guide the maids to prepare nutritious meals. With no choice, they consume heavy cholesterol and oily meals that cause blockage in the arteries.
