American Heart Month at Moraga, CA

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The good news? It is also one of the most preventable.  Making heart-healthy choices, knowing your family health history and the risk factors for heart disease, having regular check-ups and working with your physician to manage your health are all integral aspects of saving lives from this often silent killer.

 Age, Gender, Family History (Heredity), Smoking, Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Physical Inactivity, Obesity, Alcohol, Drug Abuse, Diabetes, Previous Medical History, Stress, Depression, and Anger/Hostility.
