Exercise doesn’t always have to mean pushing harder. I medically reviewed this Good Housekeeping article on the Zone Zero fitness trend, an approach focused on very low-intensity movement that supports cardiovascular health https://t.co/Jm8koe88VZ #zonezero #longevitymedicine

Following recent news coverage, I spoke with @knxnews about #aspirin use from a #cardiology perspective. We discussed how aspirin works, why different doses are prescribed in different situations, and common side effects ** This post is shared for #medicaleducation only

Watching the smoking deaths counter reset at midnight may feel symbolic, but the reality doesn’t reset that easily. Smoking remains one of the leading preventable causes of heart disease and early death. Via TikTok: kiannachang #quitsmoking #smokingkills #smokingandhearthealth

I was asked by @InsideEdition to discuss aspirin dosing, bruising, and side effects from a #cardiology perspective. This was a medical conversation about how #aspirin works, when higher doses are used, and why visible effects like bruising can occur.

Your heart reads nutrition labels, even if you don’t!

Checking sodium, added sugars, and saturated fat can help protect your blood pressure and cholesterol. Small label checks = big heart health wins.

Your heart changes as you age, but its importance never does. 

Every decade brings new needs, and new ways to stay strong.

This is your reminder to invest in your heart at every stage.

Remember, heart health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Check in with your doctor

Aldosterone and cortisol are two powerful drivers of cardiometabolic disease. For years, we’ve relied on the same tools, but now the treatment landscape is expanding #cardiology #endocrinology #cardiometabolic #hypertension #heartfailure #hfpef #ckd #dmII #finerenone #baxdrostat

Your mouth is the gateway to your heart! Poor #oralhealth, like #gumdisease, can increase #inflammation and #bacteria in your bloodstream, raising your risk for #heartdisease.

Brush, #floss, and see your #dentist regularly. A healthy smile helps keep your #heart strong too! 🦷

While the medicine part of cardiology can be challenging, what’s harder is undoing the myths that people believe.

These really aren’t small misunderstandings. They change outcomes. And when they delay care, they cost lives.
