Educating Patients to Help Eradicate Heart Disease and Stroke

Educating Patients to Help Eradicate Heart Disease and Stroke

February is about heart health awareness as we commemorate the 59th annual American Heart Month and February 3rd's National Wear Red Day. Informing your patients about the latest research and health tips will likely be top of mind, so we've compiled statistics and resources here, including information on Cardio AI—an imaging technology that assists cardiologists and radiologists in determining heart disease diagnosis.

February is your opportunity to combine efforts with the American Heart Association (AHA), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, and others in educating patients on how to reduce the risks of developing heart disease. 

Heart Health Statistics

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, which is why ongoing education is imperative. Some current statistics to share with patients include:

Heart Month Resources 

Beyond encouraging patients to get regular checkups and screenings to detect potential issues, quick resources you can refer them to on the risks of heart disease and lifestyle changes to make, include: 

Additionally, the AHA's "Life's Essential 8" is a good breakdown with abundant resources that highlight the basics of maintaining healthy behaviors and health factors, including:

  • Not smoking

  • Getting physical activity

  • Maintaining a healthy diet

  • Maintaining healthy body weight

  • Good sleep health

  • Control of cholesterol

  • Healthy blood pressure

  • Balanced blood sugar
