You may have heard terms like LDL or HDL cholesterol, diabetes, and body mass index. Do you know what they mean to your heart? Heart disease is the number one killer in America. Last year it killed more men - and women- than the next seven leading causes of death. Combined. At St. V's, the area's most preferred hospital for heart care, we're doing all we can to help reduce the number of lives heart disease claims. Chances are you know someone who has been affected by heart disease. If that someone is a close relative, it's even more important that you learn your risks. There's no better way to learn than by having a Heart to Heart talk with your doctor. We've even created a list of questions regarding your heart health. We urge you to print the questions and get the answers. Please have a heart to heart with your doctor. It's a conversation that may literally save your life!
