Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) is encouraging the importance of prevention and early detection for Heart Month this February.
Now more than ever, heart health symptoms should not be ignored. Heart disease remains the number one cause of death in America, taking more lives than all cancers combined. It is known as a silent killer, often not showing symptoms until a heart attack or stroke occur. Modifying your risk, recognizing symptoms, and visiting a cardiologist regularly are the best ways to maintain cardiovascular health and prevent disease.
