Heart Health Month: Focus on Cardiovascular Awareness
In recognition of Heart Health Month, Dr. Dimtree from Mission Regional Medical Center is promoting awareness about cardiovascular health and encouraging preventive measures. Residents are urged to be informed about symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue, which can indicate underlying heart issues.
The center offers a CT calcium score test beneficial for detecting plaque buildup in coronary arteries, recommended for men aged 45-65 and women aged 45-70. Dr. Dimtree emphasizes that early detection and lifestyle adjustments can significantly reduce risks of heart disease.
