Izinyathelo zokuqala zokuvimbela okufanele zithathwe ukunciphisa izici zobungozi ezishiwo ngenhla. Lezi zici eziyingozi ziyafana nalezo ezidalula izinkinga zenhliziyo ezibangelwa isifo sokuqina kwemithambo yegazi (angina pectoris kanye ne-myocardial infarction). Baxhumene ngokuseduze imikhuba yokuphila : ukudla okunempilo nokuhlukahlukene, ukuzivocavoca umzimba, ukuyeka ukubhema futhi, uma kunesidingo, ukulawula umfutho wegazi ophezulu, i-cholesterol nesifo sikashukela. Ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe mayelana nokuvimbela, bheka ishidi lethu lamaqiniso le-Cardiac Disorders.

Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze uhlole impilo yakho. Uma ungabaza, udokotela angase asikisele ukuhlolwa komsebenzi wama-ventricles nge-echocardiography.

Bonana nodokotela ngokushesha nje lapho kuvela izimpawu zokuqala. Ukuxilongwa kusenesikhathi, ukulandelwa okuhle kwezokwelapha, ukuthatha imithi uma kunesidingo, kodwa futhi nokwenza ngcono indlela yokuphila kunganciphisa ukuqhubeka kwesifo.

Ngaphezu kwezici ezishiwo ezinyathelweni zokuvimbela eziyisisekelo, ukuqinisekisa :

• gcina isisindo esinempilo;
• funda ukulawula kangcono ukucindezeleka;
• nciphisa ukusetshenziswa kotshwala;

Ngaphezu kwalokho, gwema izici ezilandelayo, ezigcizelela izimpawu:

• ukudla okunothe kakhulu ngosawoti noma amafutha;
• ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwamanzi, ijusi, iziphuzo noma amasobho;
• ukuthatha imithi ebangela ukugcinwa kukasawoti namanzi (isibonelo, izidakamizwa ezilwa nokuvuvukala).

Njengoba izifo ezithinta umgudu wokuphefumula ziba zimbi kakhulu izimpawu zokuhluleka kwenhliziyo, kunconywa ukugoma umkhuhlane kanye ne-pneumococcus.³.
