Victory Lakes Goes Red to fight Heart Disease

Monday, February 14th, 2011

February is American Heart Month. Dr. Ken Fujise, head of the division of cardiology at UTMB Health, and Dr. Naveed Adoni, a cardiology resident, wrote about the importance of knowing about the risks of heart disease in women. “Heart disease globally is the single largest cause of death among women. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that one in three women die of heart disease in America, and they are four to six times more likely to die of heart disease than breast cancer.”

Fortunately, most cardiovascular disease is preventable in women. Some preventive measures include:

• Not smoking
• Avoiding secondhand smoke
• Exercising 30 minutes a day
• Consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• Limiting total salt intake to less than 1 teaspoon a day

To read the entire article please click here. Dr. Ken Fujise, head of the division of cardiology at UTMB Health, is now seeing patients at UTMB Specialty Care Center at Victory Lakes. To schedule an appointment with the cadiologist expert, please call the Surgical Specialty Care Clinic at 832-505-1800.
