According to Jason Paquin, M.D., a cardiovascular health expert at UC Health, early screenings help identify silent risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and reduce the risk of heart disease.
In addition to screenings, wearable technology is changing the way we monitor heart health. Devices like smartwatches track heart rate, activity levels and even detect irregularities, providing real-time data that help users stay proactive and make smarter health choices.
By combining regular screenings with wearable tech, individuals can improve their heart health and take control of their well-being. Let’s raise awareness about the importance of knowing our numbers and using technology to stay ahead of heart health risks.
