Building blocks for a healthy heart
While there is no one cause for heart disease, there are risk factors that increase your chance of developing it. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to develop heart disease.
Preventing heart disease starts with knowing your risk factors and making positive lifestyle changes to lower your risk. This animation will step you through some positive changes you can make to lower your risk.
Heart attacks: the 2 biggest mistakes people make
Two of the biggest and most dangerous mistakes people make about heart attacks are:
1) assuming the signs are the same for everyone
2) dismissing their symptoms and thinking they’ll just go away. This results in people not acting quickly enough.
Something we hear cardiologists say frequently is, “time is muscle”. Meaning, the longer it takes for someone to seek medical treatment for a heart attack the higher the risk of the heart muscle dying.
Taking the steps to learn what the early warning signs of a heart attack are and what to do should they arise can help you seek treatment sooner.
