Eight Critical Questions
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death among women. That's why Meridian Health is providing the Women's HeartAdvantage program for you and the people you love.
One of the first steps you can take toward a healthy heart is to talk to your physician. Here are eight critical questions to ask at your next appointment.
- What are my risk factors for heart disease, and what can I do to lower my risk?
- What are the warning signs of heart disease or heart attack?
- What should I know about the effects of menopause on my health?
- What is my blood pressure, cholesterol, and body mass index?
- What is the best way for me to quit smoking?
- Are my risk factors for heart disease the same as or different from those for stroke?
- What is the latest information on low-dose aspirin for heart attack prevention and treatment?
- If I experience chest pain, what steps do I need to take?
