October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month! Sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning, and knowing how to respond could mean the difference between life and death.

Three life-saving actions to remember:

1. Call 911: Get emergency assistance immediately. Quick action is critical during a sudden cardiac arrest.

2. Start CPR: Begin chest compressions, pushing hard and fast at a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute to help keep blood circulating.

3. Use an AED: An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver a potentially life-saving shock when needed.

During Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, take the time to learn CPR and locate AEDs in your workplace and community. Being prepared could help you save a life!

September is National Cholesterol Education Month!

High cholesterol often has no warning signs or symptoms, but over time, too much LDL (“bad” cholesterol) can build up in your arteries and increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Knowing your cholesterol numbers is an important part of protecting your cardiovascular health. Regular screenings, a heart-healthy diet, staying active, and working with your healthcare provider can help you manage your cholesterol and reduce your risk.

Don’t ignore the signs of heart failure.

Heart failure is a chronic condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. It does not mean the heart has stopped working.

Signs and symptoms of heart failure may include:

❤️ Shortness of breath during everyday activities or when lying down
❤️ Swelling in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen
❤️ Persistent fatigue or lack of energy
❤️ Sudden weight gain caused by fluid retention
❤️ A dry, persistent cough or wheezing

Heart failure can develop for many reasons, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, previous heart attacks, heart muscle or valve problems, arrhythmias, diabetes, and obesity.

Protect Your Heart This Summer 💙

Summer is a great time to get outside, but extreme heat can put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, heart failure, or other cardiovascular conditions.

Here are four simple ways to stay heart healthy this summer:

1. Plan outdoor activities wisely: Exercise, garden, or tackle yard work in the early morning or evening, and avoid the hottest part of the day (typically noon to 3 p.m.).

2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after spending time outdoors.

3. Dress for the heat: Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton.

4. Know the warning signs: Dizziness, headache, nausea, excessive fatigue, or a racing heartbeat may be signs of heat exhaustion. If symptoms become severe or include chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fainting, seek medical attention immediately.

June is Men's Health Month. 💙

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States?

▪️Heart disease is responsible for approximately 1 in every 4 male deaths each year.

▪️Men are statistically less likely to visit a doctor or receive annual checkups than women.

▪️ Preventive care is the first line of defense against severe, chronic heart disease and can help identify risk factors before they become serious health concerns.

Taking proactive steps today can make a significant difference in your long-term well-being.
