February is American Heart Month
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2008
By Wendi Hope Bishop, Editor
February is American Heart Month and was established as a call to action for Americans to join the battle against cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular disease remains the number-one killer for both men and women with more than one million Americans dying of heart attacks each year.
Reportedly, an individual can reduce their risk of heart disease, including stroke, by up to 82 percent just by becoming aware of their risk and making lifestyle changes. The University of Tennessee Medical Center urges the community to be screened, because knowing your numbers could save your life.
The 4 Your Heart Program at UT Medical Center is a preventive comprehensive cardiac health assessment that evaluates an individual’s risk of developing heart disease and educates him about the importance of knowing his numbers.
If you or someone near you is having a heart attack, call 911 immediately!
