• Risks for having a heart attack

  There are important steps you can take to be informed about your risk for having a heart attack.

  Understanding your individual risk is the first step. If you have not had your blood pressure or cholesterol checked within the past 12 months, please contact your primary care physician and make an appointment for an examination. Ask your doctor these questions: 1. What are my blood pressure and cholesterol numbers? 2. What should they be? 3. What actions can I take to reach these goals?
