What is Cardiomyopathy?

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. If left untreated, cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure, or irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias. A weakened heart can cause other complications, such as heart valve problems. Symptoms to watch for include shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, fatigue, and an irregular heartbeat.

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, contact your healthcare provider. Your heart health is our priority!

Small Changes, Big Impact: Your Heart Health Journey Starts Now

Did you know? The healthiest hearts aren't built overnight—they're built with small, consistent choices that add up over time.

Whether you're 25 or 75, it's never too early (or too late!) to invest in your heart health. Here's the good news: you don't need a complete life overhaul to make a real difference.

Start Small, Think Big
- Movement matters: A 15-minute daily walk, dancing in your kitchen, or gardening all count. Aim for what feels sustainable for you.
- Nourish wisely: Swap one sugary drink for water this week. Add an extra vegetable to dinner. These tiny swaps compound into powerful habits.
- Manage stress: Whether it's meditation, time with loved ones, or a hobby you love—your heart responds to calm moments.
- Sleep well: Prioritize 7-9 hours when possible. Your heart repairs and resets during rest.
- Stay connected: Social relationships are heart-healthy! Catch up with friends, call family, or join a community group.

Why This Matters at Any Age
Your heart's health isn't determined by one perfect day—it's shaped by the pattern of your choices. The encouraging part? Every positive choice counts, starting today.

Even if you've struggled with health habits in the past, research shows that meaningful improvements can happen within weeks when you commit to small, realistic changes.

Know Your Numbers
Understanding your current heart health is the first step. When you know where you stand, you can set meaningful goals and track real progress. Plus, knowing your Heart Age helps you see the impact of those small changes in action!

Understanding Heart Failure: Knowing the Signs Can Make a Difference

Heart failure (also known as congestive heart failure or CHF) affects millions of people worldwide. Despite its name, heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. It means the heart can no longer pump blood as effectively as the body requires.

As blood flow becomes less efficient, fluid can build up in the lungs, legs, and other tissues, leading to symptoms such as:
• Shortness of breath during activity or while lying down
• Swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen
• Persistent fatigue or weakness
• Rapid weight gain due to fluid retention
• A persistent cough or wheezing
• Reduced ability to exercise or perform daily activities

Heart failure can develop gradually or suddenly and may result from conditions such as coronary artery disease, previous heart attack, high blood pressure, heart valve disease, or certain heart rhythm disorders.

While heart failure is a chronic condition, advances in treatment have dramatically improved outcomes. Medications, lifestyle modifications, regular exercise (when appropriate), dietary changes, and close follow-up with a healthcare team can help many people live active, fulfilling lives.

At PACE Cardiology, we believe that education and early intervention are key. Recognizing symptoms early and seeking medical attention promptly can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of hospitalization.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of heart failure, speak with your healthcare provider. Early assessment can make a meaningful difference.

The Latest News on AFib and Sleep Apnea

“A question I get from patients more than you’d think: “My AFib is back — could it be my sleep?” says PACE Cardiologist Dr. Yaariv Khaykin

“Short answer: very possibly, yes.”

Sleep apnea — where your airway partially or fully closes repeatedly during sleep — is one of the most common and most under-treated drivers of atrial fibrillation. When you stop breathing, even briefly, your oxygen drops, your nervous system fires stress signals, and your heart’s upper chambers stretch. Over time, this remodels the atrium in ways that make AFib more likely to start and harder to stop.

Here’s what’s newer: we’re learning this isn’t just a long-term relationship. Recent data from patients with continuous cardiac monitors suggests the connection plays out on a daily cycle. A bad night of apnea can trigger AFib the next day. And interestingly, a day of heavy AFib burden seems to worsen apnea the following night. It becomes a feedback loop.

What does this mean for you practically?

If you have AFib and snore, wake unrefreshed, or your partner notices you stop breathing at night — bring it up with your cardiologist. A sleep study (or in some cases continuous monitoring) can identify the problem. Treatment with CPAP or other approaches won’t cure AFib on its own, but it can meaningfully reduce recurrence and improve how well other treatments (including ablation) hold up over time.

Treating the rhythm without addressing sleep is like patching a tire without removing the nail. Both matter.

How many of you have noticed your AFib episodes cluster around poor sleep? Please share comments below.

Your heart has an age — and it may not match your birthday.

Two people can both be 55. One has the cardiovascular system of a 48-year-old. The other, a 63-year-old. The difference isn’t luck — it’s blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, smoking, sleep, and movement. All of it measurable. Most of it changeable.

That’s why we built HeartAge+.

In about 90 seconds, our free calculator estimates your heart age using the same evidence-based models used in clinical practice (Framingham, ACC/AHA, SCORE2). No signup. No cost. Just a number worth knowing — and concrete steps to improve it.

It was built by our team at Pace Cardiology — clinicians who treat heart disease every day and would rather help you prevent it.

Your heart age isn’t a verdict. It’s a starting point.
