February is American Heart Month, which is a time when the nation spotlights heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans. Heart disease continues to be a health threat to Americans and is still the leading cause of death worldwide, according to the AHA’s Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics – 2021 Update.

In most cases, heart disease is preventable when people adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes:

  • not smoking
  • maintaining a healthy weight
  • controlling blood sugar and cholesterol
  • treating high blood pressure
  • getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week
  • getting regular checkups
