Heart Health

In the month of February, we celebrate Valentine's Day-a day filled with love, flowers, chocolates and hearts. It is only fitting that February be proclaimed "American Heart Month".

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives each year. It affects men and women of every age and race. During American Heart Month, Americans are urged to join the fight against heart disease and to learn more about how to prevent it.

Today, millions of Americans live with some form of cardiovascular disease, including congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and high blood pressure. Research has shown that men and women who lead healthy lifestyles - making healthy food choices, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and choosing not to smoke or drink excessively, can significantly decrease their risk of heart disease.

Women are especially at risk. Did you know that heart disease is responsible for the deaths of one in three women in the United States? Women often underestimate their risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. They may also fail to recognize heart attack warning signs resulting in higher rates of death than men.

All Americans should speak with their doctors about the dangers of heart disease and get regular preventive screenings. Stay heart healthy!

A special thank you to our Sponsors—whose commitment to community and technology allows us to reach all Virginians, with and without internet access, and offer new tools on SeniorNavigator.
