The Women’s Heart Center of Greenville Health System opened in early February to focus on early-detection screening to identify, prevent, and increase awareness about cardiovascular disease in women.
I went through the heart screening process and here’s the short version of what I learned:
The American Heart Association recommends less than 1500 mg of sodium each day to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. That means cutting back on the pizza and tacos.
Sleep apnea and similar disorders are major risks for cardiac respiratory disease and can lead to high blood pressure or a stroke.
Heart disease is actually the number one killer of women, causing one in three deaths every year. It takes the life of one woman approximately every second.
