Listen to your heart. Raise your voice. Protect your health.
Women are often subject to delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for heart attacks. Use this toolkit to spread the word: it’s time to get loud to protect our hearts. #HeartMonth bit.ly/3u6vWel

Short- or long-term exposure to particle pollution, tiny pieces of solids or liquid in the air, can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Get the facts about #AirQuality and public health. bit.ly/3oSpuoC
Check the air quality in your area at airnow.gov
ALT Air Quality and Health: Exposure to air pollutants such as particulate matter and ground-level ozone can cause headaches, irritated eyes and sinuses, fatigue, difficulty breathing, chest pains, asthma attacks, irritated throat and increased coughing. Poor air quality can be hazardous to anyone, and it can aggravate health problems such as asmtha, heart disease, and lung disease. Seniors, children and those with compromised immune systems are especially at risk.

Just spoke to a mom and dad of a Capitol police officer who said they traveled from upstate New York to DC to be able to give their son a hug when he finishes his shift tonight -- this time last year they didn't know if he was alive or not.

Within 2-4 years of quitting, your risk of stroke drops to that of someone who never smoked. Make 2022 the first of many great smoke-free years. go.usa.gov/xehzw

Evidence from an updated systematic review supports the use of team-based care that engages #pharmacists and #nurses to improve patients’ blood pressure. Economic evidence shows the intervention is also cost-effective. #HeartHealth #TheCommunityGuide ow.ly/sOuS50H5kbu

Today is World Heart Day. DYK cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death? NACHC and the @MillionHeartsUS® Initiative increase awareness and reduce the number of undiagnosed cases while expanding self-measuring BP monitoring.

My blood pressure this evening.
DYK nearly half of U.S. adults — 108 million — have hypertension, yet only 1 in 4 people have it under control?
I’m not where I want to be (ie under 120/80), but I’m taking my meds, watching my salt intake, and self monitoring my BP!

We don't have a strong primary care system in the U.S. and we suffer avoidable heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, infections, and hospitalizations as a result. This pandemic can be an opportunity to change how health care is delivered and make it more patient-focused.
