]]> February is American πŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’š Month!! https://www.kidneylyfe.com/discussion/1557/february-is-american-%EF%B8%8F-month Sun, 01 Feb 2026 19:41:45 +0000 Heart Sdey0522 1557@/discussions February is American Heart Month, a nationwide observance that spotlights cardiovascular disease and the need for more lifesavers.

Being a lucky, blessed, and grateful heart recipient, I really try to raise awareness about heart health in general. After being diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in 2008, and after several procedures (including open heart surgeries, thanks to an organ donor, I was blessed with a heart (my Gift of Life) on April 20, 2015.

Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death in the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. So, let's all please get involved and make heart health a priority. Heart disease doesn't discriminate at all. Someone has a heart attack approximately every40 seconds! I survived a massive heart attack 2008.

Throughout the month of February, I will post materials related to heart health, including information about the risk factors etc. Uncontrolled blood pressure is one such risk factor. It is extremely important to monitor regularly and manage our blood presure to avoid strokes and other cardiac events (along with other diseases). Please download the blood pressure log and try to track/monitor. (See link)

Please feel free to comment about your experiences related to heart health.
