WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR HEART HEALTH BY REGINALD C. BAPTISTE, M.D. Heart disease does not always present obvious warning signs, and risk factors are not always visible. Even individuals who appear healthy, such as athletes or those without known conditions, can experience serious cardiac events. Symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or discomfort in areas such as the jaw or back are often overlooked, yet they can signal underlying heart problems. Heart disease frequently progresses silently until it becomes critical.
February is American Heart Month, but heart health requires attention every day.
