Heart Health

Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States. Heart attacks, strokes, and cardiac arrests all fall under this heading. Together, they account for more deaths than the next eight causes of death combined.

Each type of heart disease has different symptoms, although many heart problems have similar warning signs. The symptoms you experience depend on the type and severity of your heart condition. Learn to recognize your symptoms and the situations that cause them. Call your doctor if you begin to have new symptoms or if they become more frequent or severe.
