While some heart muscle disorders, like congenital defects, cannot be prevented, there are steps parents can take to reduce the risk of other conditions:
- Prenatal Care: Regular prenatal visits and a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy can support fetal heart development. - Vaccinations: Keeping up with vaccinations can help prevent infections that might lead to myocarditis. - Healthy Lifestyle: Encouraging a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke can promote heart health.
