February is American Heart Month, a time to pay special attention to understanding, preventing and treating heart disease, the leading cause of death in the nation. Over 874,000 Americans died of cardiovascular disease in 2019, according to the American Heart Association's Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics – 2022 Update. This month, the 58th American Heart Month, the AHA is urging people all over the country to "reclaim your rhythm." What does that mean? Quite simply, the AHA is encouraging people to reclaim control of their mental and physical well-being after two difficult years of the COVID-19 pandemic. For American Heart Month, the AHA and other organizations reinforce the importance of heart health, the need for more research and efforts to ensure that millions of people live longer and healthier.
