American Heart Month is during the month of February to remind everyone to focus on their heart and cardiovascular health. For 2022, the focus is on hypertension, or high blood pressure. This is the leading cause of heart disease and stroke.
For tools to help educate about controlling hypertension, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put together a toolkit of resources for clinical providers, public health professionals, and patients.
Educational resources can be found at www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/american_heart_month.htm.
