#Heart Disease Updates: What You Need to Know Now

This past week on our weekly radio show, Your Health First, our special guest was Dr. Joseph Rogers, the new President and CEO of the world famous Texas Heart Institute located in the Texas Medical Center. During the interview, we asked Dr. Rogers a number of questions about heart disease and what the average consumer needs to know.Topics we talked about include understanding risk factors for heart disease, understanding the new American Heart Association guidelines for the control of high blood pressure, the role of statins and their safety, as well as being familiar with symptoms you may have that are associated with serious heart problems. He also discussed the need to know your cholesterol, even at an early age, say 20 years old. The better you understand personal risk factors, the sooner lifestyle changes can be adjusted, medical interventions can be made, and your overall health, wellness, and survival can benefit.#americanheart #hearthealth #highbloodpressure #cholesterol #texasheartinstitute #heartattack #talkradio #iheartradioWebsites to remember:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion. You can message me here.How To Reach Dr. Joe Galati and his Team:For an on-line consultation or press inquiries, contact Teresa Reyes at 713-794-0700Dr. Galati's Newsletter Sign-UpLiver Specialists of TexasGet a Copy of Dr. Galati's BookDr. Galati on FacebookMessage Dr. Galati and his team Hosted on Acast.
