About two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with advanced heart failure and spent several weeks in the ICU recovering from an acute event. She has since seen significant improvement in the functioning of her heart in large part through heart medication (some of which was recently approved by the FDA at the time in which she started taking them) as well as patient education of managing her condition, monitoring her blood pressure, eating a heart healthy diet, and embracing physical activity. For me, her story has emphasized the importance of taking preventative measures now to monitor your heart health and life a healthy lifestyle.

 

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.?
