❤️ Could your heart rhythm be causing your symptoms?

Some irregular heart rhythms come and go, which means they may not appear during a brief office EKG. A Holter monitor is a small wearable device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity while you follow your normal daily routine.

Your healthcare provider may recommend monitoring if you experience:

• A racing, pounding, fluttering or skipped heartbeat
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Fainting or near-fainting
• Unexplained weakness or fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Symptoms that may be related to an abnormal heart rhythm

The information collected can help your healthcare provider connect your symptoms with changes in your heart rhythm and determine the appropriate next steps.

Contact SARC Cardiovascular and Vein Center to ask whether a Holter monitor may be right for you.

🚨 Chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath or fainting may require emergency care. Call 911.

Knee osteoarthritis can make walking, exercising and everyday activities difficult—but joint replacement may not be the only option.

Genicular Artery Embolization, or G*E, is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that reduces abnormal blood flow contributing to inflammation and pain around the knee. For appropriately selected patients, G*E may help decrease knee pain and improve mobility without joint-replacement surgery.

Could G*E be right for you? Call SARC Cardiovascular and Vein Center to request an evaluation.

GLP-1 medications may support more than weight-management goals. ❤️

For certain patients, some GLP-1 medications have been shown to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events while also supporting weight and metabolic health.

These medications are not right for everyone. Talk with your healthcare provider about the potential benefits, risks and whether GLP-1 therapy may be appropriate for you.

Your heart health deserves a personalized approach.

🦵 WHY DO MY ANKLES SWELL AT THE END OF THE DAY?

Swollen ankles may seem like something that simply happens after a long day—but persistent or recurring swelling deserves attention.

Your heart and blood vessels work together to keep blood circulating throughout your body. When that circulation isn't working as efficiently as it should, fluid can sometimes accumulate in the lower legs, ankles, and feet.

❤️ Ankle swelling can be associated with several conditions, including:

• Venous insufficiency – weakened vein valves can allow blood and fluid to pool in the legs.
• Heart conditions – certain heart problems can contribute to fluid retention and swelling.
• Circulation problems – symptoms involving the legs may sometimes provide clues about vascular health.
• Kidney or other medical conditions – problems regulating fluid and sodium can also cause swelling.

⚠️ Don't ignore persistent swelling.

Consider talking with a healthcare professional if your swelling is frequent, getting worse, occurring primarily in one leg, or accompanied by other symptoms.

🚨 Seek urgent medical attention for swelling accompanied by chest pain, significant shortness of breath, fainting, or other severe or sudden symptoms.

At SARC Cardiovascular and Vein, we believe symptoms are your body's way of telling you something. Finding out why they're happening is the first step toward determining the appropriate care.

❤️ Your heart. Your circulation. Your health.

❤️ DIABETES & CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: UNDERSTANDING THE CONNECTION

Diabetes affects much more than blood sugar. Over time, high blood glucose can damage blood vessels and the nerves that help control the heart, increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems.

People with diabetes are also more likely to have other cardiovascular risk factors, including high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels and elevated triglycerides. Together, these factors can contribute to plaque buildup and narrowing of the arteries.

🩺 Diabetes can increase the risk of:

Coronary artery disease and heart attack
Stroke
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Poor circulation in the legs and feet
Slow-healing wounds and other vascular complications

The encouraging news is that cardiovascular risk can often be reduced. Managing blood sugar, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, staying physically active, eating a heart-healthy diet, avoiding to***co and keeping regular medical appointments can all play an important role.

And remember: cardiovascular disease can sometimes develop without obvious warning symptoms, which makes knowing your numbers and discussing your individual risk with your healthcare provider especially important.

❤️ Protect your heart. Manage your diabetes. Know your cardiovascular risk.

❤️ **Eat for a Healthier Heart!**

High cholesterol often doesn’t cause obvious symptoms, but over time, elevated LDL (“bad”) cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The good news? What you put on your plate can make a difference. 🥗

Heart-healthy choices include:
• Oats & barley
• Salmon and other fatty fish 🐟
• Avocados 🥑
• Nuts
• Olive oil
• Beans & lentils
• Berries 🫐
• Apples 🍎
• Leafy greens 🥬
• Flaxseeds
• Garlic 🧄
• Green tea 🍵

Foods rich in **soluble fiber, unsaturated fats, omega-3s, and plant nutrients** can be part of an eating pattern that helps improve cholesterol levels and supports cardiovascular health.

And remember—nutrition is only part of the picture. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding to***co, managing stress, and getting regular medical checkups all matter too.

❤️ **Small choices today can lead to a healthier heart tomorrow.**

*Educational information only. Individual cholesterol goals and treatment needs vary. Talk with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet or treatment plan.*

❤️ HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: THE SILENT DANGER

• 🧠 Stroke
• 🫀 Heart failure
• 👁️ Vision problems
• 🫘 Kidney damage

✅ Know your numbers
