Heart disease remains a leading global health threat, but it is often preventable.

World Heart Day, September 29, 2025, underscores a critical truth: early detection is our most powerful weapon against cardiovascular disease. Silent conditions like high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol often present no symptoms, silently damaging the heart. Regular health screenings are not merely precautionary; they are life-saving acts. They provide the crucial window for intervention, allowing for manageable lifestyle changes and treatments long before a crisis strikes. This year, let your takeaway be a commitment to know your numbers.

Proactive detection empowers you to protect your future, ensuring many more heartbeats to come.

Chest discomfort demands attention, but its cause is critical.

Angina, a heart condition due to narrowed heart vessels, feels like pressure, squeezing, or pain in the chest, often triggered by exertion and relieved by rest. It may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw and can include shortness of breath or nausea.

Heartburn, from stomach acid, is a burning sensation behind the breastbone, often after eating or when lying down, and may include a sour taste.

The danger lies in confusion. Mistaking angina for heartburn can be fatal. Never assume. Any new, unexplained, or persistent chest discomfort—especially with exertion—requires immediate medical evaluation.

Do not ignore symptoms; your heart’s warning signs are not to be dismissed.

Many individuals experiencing warning signs like chest pain, palpitation or breathlessness face a critical delay in receiving a cardiology assessment. This postponement, either due to personal hesitation or lengthy medical appointment wait times, can potentially lead to severe consequences such as heart attack and sudden cardiac death.

It is vital to understand that time is critical for effective treatment. Do not procrastinate or do not downplay your symptoms. Early intervention saves lives and prevents serious damage.

Computed tomography (CT) coronary calcium scoring is a widely utilized, non-invasive screening tool for assessing cardiovascular risk. This low-cost and highly effective test utilizes a minimal radiation dose to detect and quantify calcified plaque within the coronary arteries. The results are expressed as a numerical Agatston score, which ranges from zero into the thousands. Interpreting this score is crucial, as it directly correlates with the overall burden of coronary artery disease and an individual’s future risk of cardiac events. A higher score indicates a greater amount of atherosclerotic plaque and a subsequently elevated risk profile. Understanding your specific result is a critical step in proactive heart health management.

For a comprehensive explanation of your calcium score and its implications, let's find out more at Forte Cardiology.

Ever wonder how your heart pumps when you have skipped beats? 💓
When your heart throws in an early beat (called a premature contraction), it disrupts the normal rhythm. The next beat comes with a little more force, which can make it feel like your heart thumped hard or "skipped."
This is what it looks like on ultrasound! Watch closely to see the rhythm shift.

治疗的关键在于
（1）积极生活方式干预，通过低盐低脂低糖饮食、规律运动和控制体重来管理

（2）进行规律药物治疗，坚持服用降压、降糖和降脂药物，并定期监测指标
