FACT: Cardiovascular disease (including heart attack and stroke) is the NUMBER ONE KILLER of dentists, hygienists, and other dental professionals. Did you know that half of all heart attacks happen to people with normal blood cholesterol levels!? Many of them have normal blood pressure, don’t smoke, aren’t overweight, and exercise regularly, too.
Did you know you can pass a stress test and still have a heart attack? Surprisingly, you usually only fail the test once your coronary arteries are about 70% blocked! Do you really want to wait that long?
Did you know HALF the people who die from a sudden heart attack or stroke had NO symptoms before that? Don’t be one of them. And ladies, cardiovascular disease now kills more women than men.
