Big Hearts In Meadville

Heart disease is the No. 1 leading cause of death in America. This deeply moves us here at McCandless Ford Meadville because we put the personal health and safety of our community first. We dedicate the month of February to raise awareness for heart health and the 18 million adults affected by Coronary Artery Disease. Here are some preventative measures to take that are recommended by the American Heart Association and the Center For Disease Control and Prevention:

  • Maintain a healthy weight

  • Eat lots of fruits and vegetables

  • Reduce intake of sodium and processed foods

  • Don’t smoke cigarettes

  • Get regular physical activity

  • Dental hygiene

Take Charge of Your Health

Living a healthy lifestyle and managing your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels can immensely lower your risk for cardiac disease and reduce the chance of a heart attack. Most ambulance services and pharmacies provide free blood pressure checks. If you have high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure, you are not alone. Fortunately, there are steps you can take toward lowering your risk for heart disease, such as:

  • Stay connected with your healthcare provider

  • Test your blood levels every 4 to 6 years

  • Check your blood pressure regularly

  • Take your medicines or supplements as directed by your doctor

  • Discomfort in the chest

  • Pain, weakness, or numbness in arms

  • Jaw pain

  • Nausea

  • Shortness of breath

  • Face drooping

  • Speech difficulties

  • Cold sweats

  • Lightheadedness

• If these signs are present, call 911: Be sure to breathe fluidly and remain calm to help decrease your heart rate and increase oxygen flow to the heart. If available, apply an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), which can potentially restore a regular rhythm. Hands-only CPR should also be performed if a patient’s heart stops beating.
