HEART Health
Heart disease may be the leading cause of death in the United States, but you can take steps right now to keep your heart healthy and strong!
1. Eat a healthy diet: A heart-healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of salt and saturated fat.
2. Get regular exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. This includes activities like brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or dancing.
3. Quit smoking: Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you smoke, quitting is the single best thing you can do for your heart health.
4. Manage stress: Chronic stress can increase your blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease. Find healthy ways to manage stress like meditation, yoga, or spending time with the ones you love!
5. Get enough sleep: Hitting the hay too late or waking up throughout the night? Poor sleep can increase your risk of heart disease. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night and establish a regular sleep routine.
Show your heart some love AND reduce your risk of heart disease. It's never too late to make positive changes for a healthier life.

What is a CT Heart Scan?
Calcium artery scoring is a quick, painless exam that uses high-speed CT scanning to measure calcium deposits in your heart. It's ideal for men over age 45 and women over age 55 who smoke, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of premature coronary artery disease.
Higher Score = Higher Risk
The scan produces a score that identifies your level of calcium deposits. A higher score means you have more plaque in your coronary arteries, putting you at greater risk for a heart attack. Find out your risk and what you can do to lower it.

- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
