Chronic stress releases cortisol and adrenaline, raising blood pressure and inflammation - both hard on your heart. Combat stress with the 4-7-8 breathing technique: breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Practice twice daily. Other heart-calming activities include gentle yoga, journaling, listening to music, or spending time in nature.

The patient is at the heart of what we do.

In 1982, when Dr. James Dove founded Prairie Cardiovascular in Springfield, Illinois, it was his intention to deliver state-of-the-art heart care to patients while still providing them compassionate, personal care. He succeeded in establishing that platform of excellence for Prairie. That intention can be seen through the actions of the more than 70 board certified physicians and 48 clinic sites in Illinois.
