Temperatures have dropped across the Coast, and colder weather can have a real impact on heart health. Cold air causes blood vessels to tighten, which can raise blood pressure and increase strain on the heart. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, dress warmly, stay active indoors, and avoid sudden exertion outdoors. Take care and stay warm this week!

We’re proud to share that our team has successfully completed the first CardioMEMS procedure at Memorial Biloxi, marking a major step forward in heart failure care.

CardioMEMS is a tiny wireless device that sits inside the body and quietly monitors pressure in the lungs. Think of it as an early warning system that helps doctors detect changes before symptoms worsen, allowing for timely treatment adjustments and fewer hospital visits.

No wires. No extra procedures. Just smart, proactive care happening quietly behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to our dedicated team for continuing to provide compassionate, cutting-edge care to our patients every day!

Many heart conditions can be detected without surgery. Southern Mississippi Heart Center offers stress testing, echocardiography, and advanced imaging that help physicians evaluate heart function safely and accurately. Non-invasive diagnostics are often the first step toward early detection and effective treatment.

Thirty minutes of moderate movement each day can lower the risk of heart disease. Walking, biking, or light yard work all help strengthen your heart. Choose activities you enjoy and keep them part of your weekly routine.

Heart attacks do not always start suddenly. Pressure, discomfort, or fatigue can be early signals. If symptoms feel unusual, call 911 right away. Prompt care protects heart muscle and saves lives.

Healthy eating supports every part of the cardiovascular system. Build meals with fresh produce, lean proteins, and healthy fats like olive oil or salmon. Reducing sodium and processed foods can improve cholesterol and blood pressure over time.
