Heart health covers everything you need to do to keep your heart strong and functioning well. It also includes managing existing heart problems to reduce their effects on your health.
Heart disease is responsible for around one in every five deaths in the United States. More than 20 million Americans have coronary artery disease, the most common heart condition. Yet, in many cases, these problems are preventable.
NP Services At Home’s Jolene Hodges can support you with all your heart health needs.
Some people are born with heart abnormalities (congenital heart disease). That includes disorders like a hole in the heart or a heart valve defect. You might have undergone surgery for a congenital heart problem at some point to improve your heart health, but the effects could still be life-long.
Another common condition, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), comes in many forms. Some of them aren’t serious, but others are potentially life-threatening.
Other heart conditions develop over time, often in mid to later life. Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops when you have atherosclerosis — a build-up of cholesterol inside your arteries that affects blood flow. Narrowed arteries can also get blocked, causing a heart attack.
Atherosclerosis also causes other cardiovascular diseases, such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the legs and carotid artery disease in the blood vessels that supply your brain, which can cause strokes.
Jolene can help you take better care of your heart from the comfort of your home or via telehealth visits. During her visits, she can advise you on eating a heart-healthy diet, safely increasing your activity levels, losing weight, quitting smoking, and reducing stress.
Because lifestyle issues like these often cause heart disease, addressing them can make a significant difference. Even if you’re housebound, you can still take steps to improve your heart health with Jolene’s help.
If you already have a heart problem, Jolene offers ongoing chronic disease management, regular checkups, and heart function monitoring. She measures your blood pressure and takes blood samples to check your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Jolene can also prescribe the medications you need and ensure you take the most beneficial drugs.
If you’d like to benefit from expert medical care and improved heart health, call NP Services At Home today or book an appointment online.
