Today FSC "went red" to recognize the 1 in 3 women affected by heart disease. Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of more women than any other illness, impacting 45% of women over 20. #WearRedDay is an initiative started by the American Heart Association to bring attention to the seriousness of heart disease.

It's #AmericanHeartMonth so lets take a look at one of the most common types of heart disease: Coronary artery disease. CAD occurs when plaque builds up in the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. ~1 in 10 adults in NC have reported a history of heart attacks, coronary heart disease, or stroke. Did you know #HeartDisease is the leading cause of death in the United States AND North Carolina. In 2021, heart disease caused 21,299 deaths in NC which equates to 18% of all deaths. The eastern counties of the state show higher rates of cardiovascular disease compared to the rest of the state.

To prepare for February and American Heart Month. USA Vascular Centers recognizes this a time to prioritize heart health and understand the dangers of heart disease. But did you know that both peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share a common root cause: atherosclerosis? This gradual narrowing of arteries can be a silent threat, but understanding its causes and taking action can help mitigate the risks. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ge46fu-h

Join Bloom To Life in raising awareness this #WorldHeartDay about the global challenges. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the world’s number one killer. Combined, conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels – such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure – kill more than 20.5 million annually. The majority of these deaths happen in low- and middle-income countries. 80% of premature deaths from CVD are preventable. By making small changes to our lifestyle – what we eat and drink, how much we exercise, and how we manage stress – we can better manage our heart health and beat CVD.

https://lnkd.in/e_v2Ydui Vascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, claiming the lives of an estimated 17.9 million people each year, accounting for 31% of all deaths worldwide. Heart failure is a common event caused by cardiovascular disease and this dataset contains 12 features that can be used to predict deaths due to heart failure

💗 Today is World Heart Day 💗 We would like to remind everyone to take care of their hearts. The first essential step is knowing our hearts because we love and protect only what we know. Did you know that your heart is the size of your fist and the strongest muscle in your body? It started beating about three weeks after you were conceived. If you live to be 70, it will have beaten two and a half billion times. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death globally. More than 20 million lives are lost every year because of CVD, and World Heart Day is an opportunity to highlight the actions that we can take to prevent and manage CVD. 80% of premature CVD deaths are preventable by limiting risk factors and practising heart-healthy behaviours such as: 💗 Eating well 💗 Getting more active 💗 Saying no to tobacco When we know more, we can take better care: https://lnkd.in/emFCagFa #worldheartday #useheart
