Introducing You to Your Heart

Heart Health

A lot can be said for the power of the human heart. In addition to being a symbol for what we love and value in life, it also enables us to pursue our every day activities by delivering oxygen throughout our body, while also carrying away carbon dioxide. This process is vital for your overall health and well-being, which is why it’s important to keep your circulatory system in good working order. Thanks to unprecedented insights, there are more ways than ever to help keep your heart healthy. In fact, we’re advancing cardiovascular care to constantly develop new approaches to support heart health so none of us misses a beat.

Everyday Prevention is the Key to Your Heart

Perhaps the best way to appreciate everything your heart does for you is to consider what happens when it can’t do its job. Something as small as a blood clot can prevent your heart from giving your body the oxygen and blood it needs. A blood clot can create serious conditions such as a heart attack or stroke. This is of course just one of many challenges to our cardiovascular health, which is why we’re uncovering better ways to care for our hearts each day.  

~17.9 million

people worldwide die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) each year, which makes it the leading cause of death globally.
 

Your heart health starts well before any symptoms arise. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can keep your heart in great shape, but they alone aren’t always enough to support comprehensive cardiovascular care. That’s why we’re working to develop everyday solutions that can help address the many risk factors that lead to heart conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Because when you can support your heart health from many directions, it’s better able to keep you going too.
