Hypertension is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. During February, nationally recognized as American Heart Month, we take time to focus on conditions such as high blood pressure and other diseases and habits that affect heart health.
The American Heart Association recommends statins of moderate or high intensity for adults with clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease to help reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. See our website for information on statin therapy and more for patients with cardiovascular disease. You may also visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for information on lifestyle choices and other ways that can help people can lead a longer, healthier life.
