As an interventional cardiologist with Cardiac Solutions, I treat heart attacks, lead complex procedures, and push for prevention.
Here are 5 things I wish every man knew:
1. Fit Doesn’t Mean Safe
Great abs don’t guarantee clear arteries. I’ve treated marathoners and CEOs in peak shape with major heart attacks. Fitness isn’t immunity.
2. Symptoms Aren’t Always Loud
Chest pain is classic, but heart disease often whispers: fatigue, nausea, jaw pain, dizziness. Don’t wait for something big to happen. Subtle signs can be serious.
3. Stress Hits Hard
High performers “power through,” but stress silently raises blood pressure, inflames arteries, and fuels disease. Managing stress isn’t soft—it’s essential.
4. Know Your Numbers
Most men don’t know their BP, cholesterol, or coronary calcium score—one of the best predictors of risk. Stop guessing. Get screened.
5. Strength Is Taking Action
Pushing through isn’t strength. Showing up is. One ignored symptom or skipped screening can change everything. Get ahead of it.
