We spend billions treating heart failure.
We spend almost nothing preventing it.
The risk factors are actionable YEARS in advance:
blood pressure trajectory
metabolic health
cardiorespiratory fitness
arterial stiffness.
But we wait.
For the ejection fraction to drop. Fluid accumulates. Ultimately hospitalization.
Prevention isn't a softer version of medicine.
It's a harder version… because preventions demands action before the light at the end of the tunnel is visible.
Proactive > Reactive.
