Heart Disease Awareness Month
Heart disease is a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect
your heart. The various diseases that fall under the umbrella of heart disease
include diseases of your blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease; heart
rhythm problems (arrhythmias); heart infections; and heart defects you're born
with (congenital heart defects).
The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with "cardiovascular
disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve
narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain
(angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as infections and conditions that
affect your heart's muscle, valves or beating rhythm, also are considered forms of
heart disease.
Prevention
Some conditions and lifestyle factors can put women at a higher risk for getting
heart disease.

Know your risk for heart disease and heart attack.
Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle
choices.
Adjust your lifestyle and lower your chances for having a heart attack or stroke.
See your health care provider for a check-up, especially if you have any risk
factors or symptoms. Talk to your health care provider and ask questions to better
understand your health. Know your family history. There may be factors that could
increase your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Prevention for people with a high risk
You can lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack by taking simple steps
every day.
•Eat a healthy diet.

•Be active. Exercise regularly.

them in mind every day and especially when you talk to your health provider:
