February is American Heart Month

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the first American Heart Month to tackle heart disease in the United States.

Leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke are high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.
