DVT Awareness Month – The Silent Killer You Can’t Ignore

Every six minutes, someone in the U.S. dies from a blood clot. That’s over 100,000 deaths a year—many of which could have been prevented.

🩸 Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) forms in a deep vein, often in the legs or arms. If a clot breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE)—which can be fatal within minutes. Half of DVT cases have no symptoms.

Who’s at Risk?

🚶‍♂️ Sitting for long periods (travel, desk jobs)
🦵 Surgery or hospitalization
🩸 Pregnancy, birth control, or hormone therapy
❤️ Heart disease, obesity, or cancer

Symptoms You Can’t Ignore

⚠️ Swelling in one leg or arm
⚠️ Pain or cramping that won’t go away
⚠️ Skin that’s red, warm, or discolored
⚠️ Sudden shortness of breath or chest pain

🔬 Recent studies prove early detection saves lives:
✅ HOME-PE Trial (2020): Many PE patients can now be treated at home with blood thinners.
✅ ONCO-DVT Trial (2023): Extending anticoagulation reduced clot recurrence from 7.2% to 1.0%.

DVT is preventable and treatable—if caught early. If you have risk factors or symptoms, don’t wait. Schedule a screening today!

❤️ It’s American Heart Month – Let’s Talk About Your Heart! ❤️

Did you know that every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a heart attack? And every 34 seconds, someone loses their life to heart disease?

At Apex Heart & Vascular, we fight these statistics every single day—because heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S., yet 80% of cases are preventable with the right care, screenings, and lifestyle choices.

Why Heart Health Matters:

Many people don’t realize their risk factors until it’s too late. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and stress can silently damage your heart for years before symptoms appear. That’s why early detection is everything.

What You Can Do Right Now to Protect Your Heart:

✔️ Know Your Numbers – Get your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checked regularly.
✔️ Move Your Body – Just 30 minutes of movement a day can strengthen your heart.
✔️ Eat Smart – More fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. Less salt, processed foods, and sugar.
✔️ Manage Stress – Chronic stress can raise blood pressure and heart disease risk. Find time to unwind.
✔️ Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol – These two habits directly impact your heart health.
✔️ Get Screened – A quick visit to Apex Heart & Vascular can save your life—early detection is key.

Stress is a part of life, but managing it can make a big difference for your heart health! 🌞

Chronic stress increases the risk of heart disease by raising blood pressure, inflammation, and even blood sugar levels. Over time, this can strain the heart and lead to serious complications. Here are a few powerful ways to keep stress in check:

- Deep Breathing 🌬: Just a few minutes a day can reduce your stress response, helping your heart rate slow down.

- Meditation 🧘: Focusing your mind can reduce stress hormones and promote inner peace.

- Exercise 🏃: Physical activity releases endorphins, which naturally lower stress and boost mood.

- Time Outdoors 🌿: Spending time in nature has been shown to lower blood pressure and ease tension.

Remember, your mental well-being is just as important as your physical health. Our APEX team is here to support you on your heart health journey, every step of the way. 💖💪
