Ischemic Heart Disease

Our body needs oxygen and without oxygen, the body shuts down, the heart is the organ that helps to pump oxygen around the body. Also, the heart needs oxygen and it is supplied by coronary arteries.

If these arteries are blocked, the heart muscles start to die. And if this persists the individual dies too. A regular medical checkup can help prevent this. Such services are offered by the medical centre in Malaysia. If you do a checkup regularly, the physician will be able to spot this disease before it escalates into something more serious.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) 

This infection affects the respiratory system, which helps to bring in oxygen in the body and remove carbon dioxide. One of the most common infection is pneumonia. LRTI can lead to death if not handled properly.

To prevent LRTI, you need to avoid inhaling smoke like smoke from cigars, and also smoke from cars and other sources. Furthermore, if you are a smoker, it’s highly recommended to stop and go for regular medical checkups.

Cerebrovascular Disease

This disease affects the blood vessels in the brain. When the blood vessels in the brain are clogged, it can lead to stroke because the brain is starved of oxygen. Some of these diseases are inherited and its causes may not be traceable to anything that we eat or do.
