Take Charge of Your Heart Health
Heart disease is the number one cause of death for men, and it often develops silently over years. The good news: much of your risk is within your control when you catch it early.
Our providers assess your cardiovascular risk with the right screenings, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and review your family history and lifestyle. From there, we build a prevention plan, managing conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and guiding changes that protect your heart for the long haul.
FAQ
What are the biggest risk factors for heart disease?
Major risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, family history, and inactivity. Many of these are manageable once identified.
What screenings should men get?
Most men should have regular blood pressure checks and periodic cholesterol and blood sugar testing, with timing based on age and risk. Our providers recommend the right schedule for you.
Can I lower my risk without medication?
Often yes, especially early on. Diet, exercise, weight management, and quitting smoking make a big difference. When medication is needed, we use it alongside those changes.
Are there warning signs I shouldn’t ignore?
Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, pain radiating to the arm or jaw, and unusual fatigue can be warning signs. Sudden or severe symptoms are an emergency, call 911.
