Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) can be a serious threat, but prevention is possible. Here's how you can minimize your risk.
Why Prevention Matters
Preventing NOMI is crucial, especially for those with underlying health conditions. By managing risk factors and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can reduce the likelihood of this serious condition. Early action and awareness are key to prevention.
Lifestyle Changes to Consider
Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle can help prevent NOMI. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding substances that can impact blood flow, such as tobacco and illicit drugs. These changes can improve overall cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of NOMI.
Medical Management
For those at high risk, medical management plays an important role in prevention. Regular check-ups and monitoring of heart health, along with adjusting medications that may affect blood flow, are vital steps.
