How We Keep Our Heart Healthy?

Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is Dr. Ataul Qureshi, Cardiologist at Aultman Deuble Heart & Vascular Hospital, and Cardiovascular Consultants.

February is American Heart Month.  Why do we observe American Heart Month every February? Well, every year more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease. The number one cause of death for most groups, heart disease affects all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and excessive alcohol use. This year’s Heart Month theme is Take up a Heart Healthy Habit. You can pick a new heart-healthy habit like jogging or substituting sodas with water and try to stick to it for a whole month.

We would like to challenge you to a very important heart health habit:  Understand your medication and take it as prescribed.  Did you know that nationally only 30% of patients take their blood pressure medications correctly? 

If you struggle with taking your medication correctly, let us help you manage your medication refills and pack them in individual dose packs to help you follow one of the most important health habits – taking your medication correctly!
