Small choices make a big difference in heart health. Lifestyle changes you can make today to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease include:

• Eat right and maintain a healthy weight. Our physicians and cardiologists can help you build healthy eating habits. 
• Reduce stress. Try stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, walking and connecting with others.
• Exercise regularly. Exercise can help control blood fats and blood glucose, maintain weight and lower blood pressure.
• Don't smoke. Tobacco use lowers good cholesterol, raises blood pressure, and promotes clotting.
• Control your cholesterol. Most heart disease results from fatty buildup that narrows the vessels supplying blood to your heart. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL), or "bad cholesterol," account for most of the cholesterol in your blood and are largely responsible for plaque formation.
• Control high blood pressure. High blood pressure damages arteries, setting the stage for plaque formation. It also increases stress on the heart muscle, which can cause damage.

In the United States, more women die from heart disease than from any other cause, including cancer. We help you understand the unique risks women face, so you can recognize the warning signs before an emergency. Our cardiologists work with you to treat and prevent heart disease. They create a care plan tailored to your needs that addresses specific concerns and lifestyle factors to help improve your health.
