New research shows that adults aged 50 years and above who sleep more than 9 hours a night are at a significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But this link is strongest among individuals with underlying conditions—like hypertension, diabetes, or obesity—which likely play a key role in driving the increased risk.

🩺 The Importance of Monitoring Blood Pressure at Home 💙

High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because it has no obvious symptoms but can lead to serious heart conditions, stroke, and kidney disease. Regular home monitoring can help you stay proactive about your heart health.

Why Monitor at Home?
✅ Detect changes early before complications arise
✅ Track your progress if you're managing hypertension
✅ Provide accurate readings for your doctor
✅ Reduce anxiety from "white coat syndrome"

How to Monitor Effectively:
✔️ Measure at the same time each day
✔️ Sit in a relaxed position before taking readings
✔️ Keep a record to discuss with your healthcare provider

Do you know that Heat stress can increase demand on the heart and cardiovascular system and promote dehydration, blood clots, and electrolyte imbalances that may all contribute to cardiovascular disease. This can worsen heart failure and precipitate acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), arrhythmias, and stroke, and contribute to excess mortality from these causes.

🚨 Sleep and Your Heart Health 💤❤️

Did you know that consistently getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night can increase your risk of heart disease? Studies show that insufficient sleep is linked to higher blood pressure, inflammation, and an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Quality sleep helps regulate blood sugar, manage stress hormones, and keep your heart functioning properly.
Prioritize your rest—your heart will thank you! ❤️
