Act now! As states open up, many women with #heartdisease and others with chronic conditions face serious health risks from #COVID19 if they return to the workplace. The House has acted, ask the Senate for paid leave policies that protect people's health. https://t.co/OeMOQBZ6Oc

.@DrTettey and everyone has been providing such great insight during the #HealthyHeartTalk. If you have a history of high blood pressure, talk to your doctor about steps you get take to get #hearthealthy. https://t.co/4QemTrnEuj

A6:High blood pressure can cause arteries serving the heart to become narrowed from a buildup of a substance called plaque. When an artery is blocked & the flow of blood through the heart muscle is interrupted, the damage that occurs is called a #heartattack. #HealthyHeartTalk https://t.co/z8b2YxPJEg

@nyphospital A5: Chronic high stress has been shown to increase inflammation in the amygdala and arterial walls by PET scan - more uptake increased risk of #HeartAttack! So it is a significant risk factor and should be discussed at CV screening visits. #HealthyHeartTalk

Q6: How does blood pressure attribute to overall heart health? #HealthyHeartTalk

[Dr. Naa-Solo Tettey @DrTettey]

A5:There is no evidence that stress is a direct cause of #cardiovascular disease or #heartattacks but your coping mechanisms can increase your risks. If you cope w/ stress by smoking, drinking and overeating you're at an increased risk cardiovascular disease. #HealthyHeartTalk https://t.co/GmdFazrjfh

A5: High blood pressure can be overlooked because there are usually no symptoms. But it can cause stroke, heart attack and early death. Checking your blood pressure regularly helps you know if there is a problem. https://t.co/gXV6QTz0un #HealthyHeartTalk https://t.co/cVRUo2hctu
