While anyone can be at risk for heart disease or stroke, that risk increases based on your age and family history. High blood pressure or unhealthy cholesterol levels can also play a major role. The good news is, you can take control of certain lifestyle aspects of your health to better protect your heart – and your life.

Beacon has the lifestyle programs you need to stay on top of your health – from fitness classes and diabetes education to Freedom from Smoking and much more.

Heart health by the numbers

Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, heart rate and family history – think of them as the combination to a safe – the one that unlocks the keys to your overall heart health. Together, these numbers help you understand your heart and cardiovascular disease risks, so you can take steps to improve your health. We can help you get started:

Use the heart disease risk calculator* to find out your risk for cardiovascular disease.

Once you know the score, it’s time to have a heart-to-heart talk with your doctor. Heart disease is easier to treat when it’s detected early, so keep the lines of communication open. Schedule your appointment today.

Women, take heart!

Heart disease is often thought to be more of a problem for men. However, it's the most common cause of death for both women and men in the United States. Because some heart disease symptoms in women can differ from those in men, women often don't know what to look for. Understanding these unique heart disease symptoms can help you reduce your risk.

Know the signs

Common symptoms in both men and women:

Neck, jaw, shoulder, back pain
Shortness of breath
Nausea or vomiting

Additional warning signs for women:

Lower chest and upper abdominal pain
Sweating
Lightheadedness/fainting
Indigestion
Extreme fatigue
