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 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:
805,000 people in the U.S. have a heart attack every year—that's one person every 40 seconds.
1 in 5 heart attacks are silent, with damage done without the person being aware
1 in 3 women die from cardiovascular disease annually—more lives than all forms of cancer combined
Cardiac events are rising in young women in their 20s
Between 2017 and 2020, 127.9 million U.S. adults had some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Between 2017-2020, 59% of non-Hispanic (NH) Black females and 58.9% of NH Black males had some form of CVD

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:
The CDC's comprehensive resources for health care professionals:
National Wear Red Day 2023 Resources:
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's resources:
Heart health data sheets
Social media awareness graphics to share on social media
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
As a provider of cardiac MRI software, we support American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day by highlighting the importance of advanced imaging technology in the early detection and management of heart disease.
