February is American Heart Month, and here are a few great resources from the CDC.

The sad truth is, heart disease is one the most lethal conditions in the United States, and is responsible for nearly 600,000 deaths each year.

We here at Assisting Hands Home Health Care in West Austin believe every day is a good day to focus on your cardiovascular health, but in American Heart Month, we all take a few moments to think hard about how we can take care of ourselves even better than we normally do.

This means thinking about hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and how we can prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Heart disease is widespread, complicated, and very serious. We encourage all patients and caregivers to spend some time reviewing these resources, and of course reaching out to us if we can help you!

Stay healthy during American Heart Month!
