The Mediterranean eating pattern reduces heart disease risk by up to 30%! Focus on olive oil, fish, nuts, whole grains, and colorful vegetables. It's not about restriction - it's about abundance of delicious, heart-protective foods. Try swapping butter for olive oil, snacking on nuts instead of chips, and eating fish twice weekly. Delicious prevention!

Quality sleep is cardiac medicine! Less than 6 hours nightly increases heart disease risk by 20%. During sleep, your heart rate and blood pressure naturally drop, giving your cardiovascular system essential recovery time. Create a sleep sanctuary: cool, dark room, no screens 1 hour before bed, consistent bedtime, and limit caffeine after 2 PM.

Family history of heart disease, especially before age 55 in men or 65 in women, increases your risk. But genetics aren't destiny! Knowing your history helps you and your doctor create a prevention plan. Ask relatives about heart attacks, strokes, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Early screening and lifestyle changes can overcome genetic predisposition.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Springfield?

The patient is at the heart of what we do.

In 1982, when Dr. James Dove founded Prairie Cardiovascular in Springfield, Illinois, it was his intention to deliver state-of-the-art heart care to patients while still providing them compassionate, personal care. He succeeded in establishing that platform of excellence for Prairie. That intention can be seen through the actions of the more than 70 board certified physicians and 48 clinic sites in Illinois.
