February is American Heart Month! Last year on the blog we discussed basic heart health tips and explored the DASH diet, which can help with heart health. Today we’re going to take a look at heart disease.  

“Heart Disease” is pretty vague. What diseases are we talking about

  • Blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease 
  • Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) 
  • Heart defects you’re born with (congenital heart defects) 
  • Heart valve disease 
  • Disease of the heart muscle 
  • Heart infection 

What are the risk factors for heart disease? 

When should I see my doctor?
