Tim Russert’s death reminds us about heart health in men over 50

Kendra James, RN

Following the untimely death of Tim Russert there seems to be a new concern for heart health in men over 50.

Few people understand that coronary heart disease is still the number one killer of men, responsible for more than half of deaths among men. Also, more than half of these deaths are not preceded by any symptoms. About one third of all heart attacks are fatal, while the rest may cause permanent damage.

How is that for scary? Do you have regular checkups? Physicals and blood pressure screenings?

What do you need to do? Quit smoking, eat healthier, exercise more and control your diabetes to start. Make sure you will be here to watch your grandchildren and grow old.
