Be One in a Million Hearts!

You don’t have to be old to have a heart attack or a stroke.  Every day about 2200 people die from heart disease–1 out of every 3–and most of them are younger than 65!   There are many risk factors that lead to strokes and heart attacks–some are obvious, while others are silent and not even detected on traditional laboratory evaluations for heart risk. As American Heart Month comes to an end, let it be the beginning of your decision to build and maintain a healthy heart!  Start by seeing a doctor who will do a thorough and proactive evaluation, and be a part of the CDC’s campaign to prevent a million strokes and heart attacks!
