Take Heart!
Is your heart in the right place? That’s the important question we’re addressing in this issue of MyHealth. Heart disease is America’s most urgent health problem, so I encourage you to take the first step in fighting heart disease by scheduling an annual physical examination and talking to your personal physician. He or she will check the four critical numbers for a healthy heart: your blood pressure (120/80 is optimal), your cholesterol level (anything higher than 200 puts you at risk for heart disease), your blood sugar (100 maximum) and your resting heart rate.
After completing this initial exam, your physician may believe further tests are required. And that’s where we come in. Our hospital has the expertise and the technology to give your heart a thorough examination, everything from an electrocardiogram and chest X-ray to a stress test, CT-scan and MRI. We can also help you put together a customized program of diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of heart disease. Having a healthy heart starts right here at your hometown hospital. As always, we look forward to serving you.
