National Blood Pressure Awareness Month: Knowing your numbers can be a lifesaving step toward better heart health
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — In today's health headlines, we're recognizing National Blood Pressure Awareness Month — a reminder that knowing your numbers can be a lifesaving step toward better heart health.
Dr. Erica Spatz, a Yale Medicine cardiologist and associate professor at Yale School of Medicine, explains what we need to know about checking our blood pressure and why it's important to know our numbers even if we feel fine.
Spatz helped launch a community program called Pressure Check, which has expanded nationwide.
