Cardiovascular Health
One of your most vital vital-organs is your heart. Without it, the oxygen brought in by your lungs would not be carried to other organs, like your brain. Your body would have a challenging time fighting off infections and viruses because your blood is also responsible for delivering white blood cells where they are needed. Under our compassionate and thorough care, you can rest easy knowing we take every step we can to help you stay as healthy as possible. If you would like to improve your cardiovascular health, call our office at (301) 277-3555 or book an appointment online.
What Is Cardiovascular Health?
Cardiovascular health is the health of your heart and blood vessels. The prefix, cardio-, refers to the heart, while -vascular refers to the blood vessels. Together, these two make up your circulatory system, which is responsible for pumping and moving blood and oxygen throughout your entire body.
What’s the difference between urgent care and emergency room services?
Urgent care and emergency room services serve different purposes in healthcare. Urgent care facilities are designed for medical situations that require prompt attention but are not immediate life-threatening emergencies. On the other hand, emergency rooms are meant for critical situations that pose a threat to life or long-term health if not promptly addressed. In essence, if you are facing a medical issue that is life-threatening, it is crucial to call 911 or head directly to an emergency room. However, for medical concerns that are urgent but not emergencies, an urgent care center can provide appropriate and timely care.
What are the symptoms of heart disease?
Heart disease encompasses a range of cardiovascular conditions, each with its own set of potential symptoms. Common symptoms to look out for include chest pain, tightness or pressure in the chest, shortness of breath, neck, throat, or jaw pain, back pain, and numbness, weakness, or coldness in the legs or arms.
