February is American Heart Month.
First proclaimed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1963, February is named American Heart Month in efforts to spread awareness of matters of the heart. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many people across the country will be considering the feelings in their heart and those that matter most to them.
What better time to consider the condition of your heart, too? Don’t forget that YOU matter also! Take charge of your health in 2018 to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
American Heart Month is a federally designated month in the United States emphasizing the severity of cardiovascular disease (including heart disease and stroke) which is the leading global cause of death. Consider these alarming facts:
- Nearly 2,300 Americans die each day from cardiovascular disease.
- Someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds.
- Cardiovascular diseases (including strokes) claim the lives of about one woman every 80 seconds.
- 27.6 million Americans are diagnosed with a heart disease.
