Rabid about heart health for the nation, but my tweets are my own!

Listen to your heart. Raise your voice. Protect your health.

Women are often subject to delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for heart attacks. Use this toolkit to spread the word: it’s time to get loud to protect our hearts. #HeartMonth https://t.co/jaSZZps09X

Short- or long-term exposure to particle pollution, tiny pieces of solids or liquid in the air, can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Get the facts about #AirQuality and public health. https://t.co/T5Cea9ltiC

March’s CVD Prevention Clinical Leadership Group focussed on the celebrating the great work pharmacists are doing on preventing CVD. If you’re an ICS CVD Prevention lead or a pharmacist with an interest in CVD Prevention do have a look. https://t.co/9C9wiLibbT

Excited to join others across the country in answering this Call to Action by detecting and controlling hypertension. https://t.co/orGJEv2SNK and @CDCHeart_Stroke

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

All-cause maternal mortality rates increased nearly 30% in the United States from 2019 to 2020, with racial and ethnic disparities evident across the board. It’s why I put out a “Call to action” on maternal mortality in fall 2020. https://t.co/GYFGyygPRz

[Janet Wright MD FACC @tri32]

Congrats and deep gratitude to this terrific team working to detect and control hypertension. These insights fuel others including Federal HTN Leadership Council https://t.co/orGJEv2SNK , @HtnRoundtable, and @CDCHeart_Stroke where every month is #heart month!

Just spoke to a mom and dad of a Capitol police officer who said they traveled from upstate New York to DC to be able to give their son a hug when he finishes his shift tonight -- this time last year they didn't know if he was alive or not.

Within 2-4 years of quitting, your risk of stroke drops to that of someone who never smoked. Make 2022 the first of many great smoke-free years. https://t.co/fQAdE23m07

[CPSTF @CPSTF]

Evidence from an updated systematic review supports the use of team-based care that engages #pharmacists and #nurses to improve patients’ blood pressure. Economic evidence shows the intervention is also cost-effective. #HeartHealth #TheCommunityGuide https://t.co/qKIl3Iqrem
