We share a lot of information about sleep, and that's because it's directly tied to heart health! Poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep are associated with high blood pressure, obesity, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

As we move into the summer months, when extra sunlight may worsen any sleep issues, it's important to maintain a consistent sleep routine. Try limiting screen time and creating a restful environment before bed.

We’re excited to announce that this summer, the Alaska Heart & Vascular Institute will open a Cardiac Direct Access Clinic (CDAC) in Anchorage. The CDAC provides rapid access to care for patients with urgent cardiac concerns.

What is the CDAC?

The CDAC is designed for urgent but non‑emergent cardiac issues—concerns that can’t wait for a routine appointment but don’t require a visit to the emergency room. Our specialized team can quickly evaluate symptoms such as shortness of breath, palpitations, blood pressure concerns, a new heart murmur, an abnormal EKG, urgent pre‑operative evaluations, or follow‑up after a hospital or emergency room visit. Our goal is to evaluate patients within 72 hours.

What the CDAC is NOT

The CDAC is not an emergency department. If you are experiencing severe or active chest pain, loss of consciousness, significant breathing difficulty with unstable vital signs, or any other life‑threatening cardiac symptoms, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Your safety is our top priority.

We’re proud to bring this timely, accessible cardiac care option to Alaskans. When your heart is trying to tell you something, you shouldn’t have to wait—or wonder where to go.

Please stay tuned for more information about the official CDAC opening.

Regular physical activity is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support heart health.

The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Walking is a simple and accessible way to meet this goal.

Walking can help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce stress. Even short periods of activity throughout the day can contribute to overall health.

May is High Blood Pressure Education Month.

Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, and many are unaware of their condition. High blood pressure is a major contributor to heart disease and the leading risk factor for stroke. To learn more about this connection, check out this infographic from the American Stroke Association.

The good news is that steps to achieve and maintain a healthy blood pressure are those that support health in general. These include:

• Maintaining a healthy weight through regular activity and a heart-healthy diet
• Limiting sodium intake
• Quitting to***co and limiting alcohol
• Monitoring your blood pressure regularly

Today, we recognize the strength, care, and contributions of mothers in our lives and communities.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States. Women also face a higher risk of stroke, with factors such as pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormone replacement therapy, among other conditions, contributing to increased risk.

The American Heart Association defines tachycardia as a resting heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute. While it can occur during exercise or stress, unexplained episodes may indicate an underlying heart rhythm disorder.

Symptoms to watch for include dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. If these symptoms occur, medical evaluation is recommended.

Our team was out in the community last month, and we loved every minute of it!

On April 18, Dr. Linda Ireland and Maggie Barnett, ANP joined the YMCA of Alaska for Healthy Kids Day to teach youth the life-saving skill of CPR. In a cardiac emergency, every minute counts, and CPR can double or even triple someone’s chance of survival. Investing in community education is a priority at AHVI, and we’re committed to empowering Alaskans with information and skills that can save lives.

A huge thank you to the YMCA of Alaska for having us!

Our team is excited to attend the Alaska Clean Air Challenge this Saturday, May 9, to help support a healthier community. This annual event brings people together to raise funds for the American Lung Association, supporting efforts to improve air quality, advance lung health research, and assist those living with lung disease.

Clean air plays an important role in overall health, and long-term exposure to air pollution is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. If you're looking for a way to get more active and support a great cause, consider joining us to bike, walk, or run to promote healthier air and healthier lives.

Balance – Sudden loss of balance
Eyes – Sudden vision changes
Face – Drooping on one side
Arms – Weakness or numbness
