Prevea Health and the HSHS Hospital System are honoring American Heart Month by reminding you to learn about your risk for heart disease and the steps you can take to help your heart.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and affects men and women equally.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says more younger adults are being diagnosed with the condition than ever before.
This is partly because conditions that lead to heart disease are happening at younger ages, according to the CDC.
They also reported that nearly half of all Americans have either high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, or are smokers, which raises blood pressure, and reduces the amount of oxygen blood can carry to the heart.
Prevea offers comprehensive heart care services and advanced technology benefiting patients across Wisconsin.
