๐Ÿซ€ What Does It Mean to Have a Heart Murmur?

A heart murmur isnโ€™t a disease โ€” itโ€™s a sound your heart makes when blood flows through your valves. โค๏ธ

Sometimes murmurs are completely harmless, especially in children and young adults. But as we age, certain murmurs can signal changes in the heart valvesโ€”most commonly the aortic or mitral valvesโ€”that may need closer attention.

At Cross County Cardiology, we use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for valve problems like aortic stenosis, where the valve narrows over time and affects blood flow. Early detection is keyโ€”many people donโ€™t notice symptoms until the condition becomes advanced.

If youโ€™ve ever been told you have a murmur, itโ€™s worth following up. Regular heart exams and imaging can help catch issues early and protect your heart health for years to come.

๐Ÿซ€ A Simple Test That Can Reveal Hidden Heart Risks

Did you know a carotid ultrasound โ€” a quick, painless test โ€” can help predict your risk for heart attacks and strokes before symptoms even appear? ๐Ÿ’ก

A new study found that people with three or more carotid plaques were nearly three times more likely to experience serious heart events. Early detection means early protection โ€” and at Cross County Cardiology, prevention is at the heart of what we do. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿซ€ Did you know your neck can reveal a lot about your heart health?

Hi, Iโ€™m Dr. Chris Pumill from Cross County Cardiology. A carotid ultrasound is one of the most powerful, non-invasive tools we have to predict future heart problems โ€” even before symptoms appear.

By looking for plaque buildup in the carotid arteries (the vessels that carry blood to your brain), we can detect early signs of atherosclerosis, the same process that causes heart attacks and strokes.

This quick, painless test could literally save your life. If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, talk to your doctor about scheduling a carotid ultrasound today. ๐Ÿ’™

Stop letting high blood pressure control your life.

You can take charge.

Hereโ€™s how:

1. Start with your plate

โ†’ Eat more fruits and vegetables
โ†’ Choose whole grains over white bread or rice
โ†’ Cut back on saltโ€”read labels, cook at home, and flavor with herbs
โ†’ Limit processed foods and fast food

2. Move your body every day

โ†’ Aim for at least 30 minutes of walking, cycling, or swimming
โ†’ Even short bursts of activity help
โ†’ Make it a habit, not a chore

3. Watch your weight

โ†’ Losing even a few pounds can lower your blood pressure
โ†’ Keep track of your progress
โ†’ Focus on steady, healthy changes

4. Limit alcohol and quit smoking

โ†’ Alcohol raises blood pressureโ€”drink less or not at all
โ†’ Smoking damages your blood vesselsโ€”quitting helps your heart right away

5. Manage stress

โ†’ Try deep breathing, meditation, or yoga
โ†’ Take breaks and get enough sleep
โ†’ Spend time with people who support you

6. Check your numbers

โ†’ Monitor your blood pressure at home
โ†’ Keep a log to share with your doctor
โ†’ Know your target and work toward it

7. Take your medicine as prescribed

โ†’ Never skip doses
โ†’ Talk to your doctor if you have side effects
โ†’ Medicine works best with healthy habits

Most people ignore these basics.

They hope for a quick fix.

But real change comes from daily choices.

Lowering your blood pressure is possible.

Start small, stay consistent, and protect your heart for life.

๐Ÿ’Š Did you know your medications can affect your heart?

If youโ€™re taking medicine for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, or cholesterol, itโ€™s important to understand how they influence your cardiovascular health.

โœ… Some medications protect your heart by lowering blood pressure or cholesterol.

โš ๏ธ Others may raise your heart rate, affect your rhythm, or interact with other prescriptions.

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s so important to review your medications regularly with your doctor.

Never stop a prescription on your ownโ€”ask how each one impacts your heart and whether adjustments could improve your long-term health.

๐Ÿ“ž Have questions? Call us today at 1 (551) 357-0021 or visit crosscountycardiology.com to schedule your consultation.

At Cross County Cardiology, weโ€™ll make sure your medications and your heart are working in harmony. ๐Ÿ’™
