What's your heart age?
Taking care of your heart requires a year-round commitment that has lifelong benefits. What will you do differently to take better care of your heart?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Fortunately, it's also a condition that responds very advantageously to healthy changes that help provide prevention of heart disease.
While symptoms vary widely for men and women, most heart attack sufferers had no previous symptoms. So it’s crucial to know your personal risk factors and take steps to decrease them. Heart disease can affect anyone, regardless of gender, age or background. That’s why all of our cardiac care experts at Stony Brook University Heart Institute remain focused on how to best prevent heart disease and heal the heart.
