❤️ October Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Unlike a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, sudden cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating effectively due to an electrical problem. Without immediate treatment, it can quickly become life-threatening.

Early action can save lives:
✅ Call 911 immediately
✅ Start CPR right away
✅ Use an AED if one is available

This month, take a few minutes to learn CPR, locate the nearest AED in your workplace or community, and help raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest.

❤️ Today is World Heart Day, and Every Heartbeat Tells a Story.

Today, we join people around the world in recognizing World Heart Day, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness of cardiovascular disease and the importance of protecting heart health. This year's theme,"Don't Miss a Beat," reminds us that paying attention to our heart health today can make a difference for years to come.

Heart disease often develops quietly over time, which is why prevention matters. Small, consistent choices like staying active, eating well, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and keeping up with routine medical care can all play an important role in supporting long-term cardiovascular health.

World Heart Day is also a reminder to listen to your body, know your risk factors, and not ignore symptoms that don't feel right.

❤️ Your heart never takes a day off. Today is the perfect day to show it some appreciation.

❤️ When Should You Be Concerned About Heart Palpitations?

Most people experience a skipped beat or fluttering sensation from time to time. But if heart palpitations are happening frequently, lasting longer than a few seconds, or are accompanied by dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or fainting, it's important to talk with your healthcare provider.

Sometimes palpitations are harmless. Other times, they may be a sign of a heart rhythm disorder such as AFib, atrial flutter, or another arrhythmia.

During AFib Awareness Month, it's a good reminder to pay attention to your body's signals and seek evaluation when something doesn't feel right.

❤️ Tomorrow Is Aortic Dissection Awareness Day

The aorta is the largest artery in the body, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When a tear develops in the inner layer of the aorta, it can lead to an aortic dissection, a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.

Symptoms may include:
🚨 Sudden, severe chest pain
🚨 Sudden back, neck, or abdominal pain
🚨 Shortness of breath
🚨 Fainting or loss of consciousness
🚨 Stroke-like symptoms

Because symptoms can mimic a heart attack or stroke, rapid recognition and emergency medical care are critical. As we recognize Aortic Dissection Awareness Day on September 19, take a moment to learn the warning signs and share them with those you care about.

Aortic dissection is the most common aortic emergency. We raise awareness and elevate the profile of this preventable condition.

🦵 September Is PAD Awareness Month

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects millions of Americans, it occurs when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the legs and feet. Common symptoms may include:

🦵 Leg pain or cramping when walking
🦵 Fatigue or heaviness in the legs
🦵 Slow-healing wounds on the feet or legs
🦵 Changes in skin color or temperature

Many people mistake these symptoms for normal aging, which is one reason PAD often goes undiagnosed. Left untreated, PAD can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb loss.

This PAD Awareness Month, take a moment to learn the signs and talk to your provider if you're experiencing symptoms.
