Watching the smoking deaths counter reset at midnight may feel symbolic, but the reality doesn’t reset that easily. Smoking remains one of the leading preventable causes of heart disease and early death. Via TikTok: kiannachang #quitsmoking #smokingkills #smokingandhearthealth

I was asked by @InsideEdition to discuss aspirin dosing, bruising, and side effects from a #cardiology perspective. This was a medical conversation about how #aspirin works, when higher doses are used, and why visible effects like bruising can occur.

Your heart reads nutrition labels, even if you don’t!
Checking sodium, added sugars, and saturated fat can help protect your blood pressure and cholesterol. Small label checks = big heart health wins.

Your heart changes as you age, but its importance never does.
Every decade brings new needs, and new ways to stay strong.
This is your reminder to invest in your heart at every stage.
Remember, heart health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Check in with your doctor

Your mouth is the gateway to your heart! Poor #oralhealth, like #gumdisease, can increase #inflammation and #bacteria in your bloodstream, raising your risk for #heartdisease.
Brush, #floss, and see your #dentist regularly. A healthy smile helps keep your #heart strong too! 🦷

While the medicine part of cardiology can be challenging, what’s harder is undoing the myths that people believe.
These really aren’t small misunderstandings. They change outcomes. And when they delay care, they cost lives.
