The #1 Killer of Women is Heart Attacks and Stroke. February is
the American Heart Association Month so I reached out to my friend
Beth Greve who is a stroker survivor and Dr. Magliato who is one of
the first cardiac heart surgeons and both are Ambassadors for AHA
to answer many of the questions we have when it comes to heart
disease. Dr. Magliato also explains the new found evidence of how
COVID19 is affecting our heart health.
- More young females are having heart disease. Dr. Magliato
explains why this is happening.
- There are 2 Risk Factors we can do Nothing about. There are
several Risk Factors we can Control to prevent a Heart Attack.
- Heart Disease is 80% preventable.
- AHA recommends to exercise 4 days a week or 150 minutes a
week.
- The test we need to take to make sure that we have a baseline for
our heart. The tests besides an EKG we should ask our doctors to do
for us.
- COVID19 is not only a respiratory virus but a heart virus. We
talk about the issues people are having after getting COVID19 not
only people with mild symptoms but athletes and children!
