The healthiest people often miss one important part of staying healthy: actually going to the doctor.

You can eat well, exercise, sleep, and make healthy choices, but if you’re not getting regular checkups, you may be missing important information about your health.

Knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, family history, and other risk factors can help you catch potential problems early and make informed decisions about your health.

Prevention isn’t just what you do at home. It’s also knowing what’s happening inside your body.

Save this post as a reminder to prioritize your checkups, and share it with a friend who needs to hear this! Follow for more heart health insights.

A study found that people who have had a heart attack, but who are considered low risk for other cardiovascular complications, may be able to safely discontinue beta-blocker use after at least one year.

“Beta-blockers are very effective medications, but they’re not always easy to live with long term. Many patients experience fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, dizziness, sexual dysfunction, or just a general sense of being ‘slowed down.’ For someone who has otherwise recovered well and is trying to get back to a normal, active life, those side effects can be limiting.” -Rigved Tadwalkar, MD

CPR can be the difference between life and death when every second matters.

When someone’s heart stops, immediate CPR helps keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain and other vital organs until professional help arrives.

You don’t have to be a medical professional to make a difference. Learning CPR could mean being prepared to help someone you love, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger when they need it most.

Knowing CPR means knowing what to do when seconds count Find a class near you at heart.org

Small actions can add up to a healthier heart, and potentially more healthy years ahead.

Think a sudden drop in temperature is no big deal? Your heart may notice. 🥶❤️

Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, which can temporarily raise blood pressure and increase the workload on your cardiovascular system.

And it’s not just cold weather. Sudden cold-water immersion, such as a cold plunge, can trigger a rapid cardiovascular response, including changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

Most healthy people tolerate these short-term changes well, but people with cardiovascular disease or certain risk factors may be more vulnerable to the effects of cold exposure.

Knowing how your body responds, and talking with your cardiologist if you have concerns, can help you stay heart-smart in the cold.

This month’s Heart Health Term: Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial Fibrillation, also known as A-fib or AF, is a condition in which the heart’s upper and lower chambers do not work together as they should. This can cause your heartbeat to be too fast, too slow, or irregular.

A new study has found that heatwave exposure was “significantly associated” with a higher biological age acceleration. This meant that the more people were exposed to extreme temperatures, the faster the speed of their biological aging process.

“Heat puts the body under sustained physiologic stress. To keep your core temperature stable, your cardiovascular system needs to redirect blood toward your skin. The heart then works harder, and fluid balance becomes more difficult to maintain.” -Dr. Tadwalkar
