Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and much of it is preventable.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol often cause no symptoms. Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, and many do not know it. Regular checks are the only way to find out.
Diabetes, smoking, excess weight, and a family history of heart disease can all raise the risk.
Chest discomfort, shortness of breath, pain in the arm, jaw, or back, and unusual fatigue should never be ignored. Symptoms in women can be more subtle. If you suspect a heart attack, call 911 right away.
Staying active, eating well, and keeping up with regular checkups all protect your heart. The cardiology team at Starling Health is here to help. Talk to your care team about your heart health.
