There are many misconceptions about heart disease that can prevent people from recognizing risks or seeking care. Understanding the difference between myths and facts is an important step toward protecting your health.

Did you know that:
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
- Young adults are increasingly experiencing heart attacks.
- Heart attack symptoms can be subtle, especially in women.
- High blood pressure is a “silent killer” and often has no noticeable symptoms.

Taking care of your heart starts with the right information and the right medical team.

Contact Coastal Cardiovascular Associates today to schedule your appointment and take a proactive step toward better heart health.

It wasn’t easy, but she did it! This weekend, Hilary crushed the half-marathon, earned a personal record, and finished at her goal time!

We are beyond proud of her determination and discipline. It's the same commitment she brings to patient care every day.

Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer her on and to those who shared kind words of encouragement. Your support means so much!

Way to go, Hillary! 👏👏👏

We’re cheering on one of our own this weekend! Our very own Hillary Wilson is taking on a half-marathon, and we couldn’t be prouder!

The race kicks off Saturday, February 28th at 7:00 AM, with runners starting at Johnny Mercer Pier and finishing 13.1 miles later at Live Oak Pavilion Park.

If you’re in the area, come out and help us cheer her on! Let’s go, Hillary! 💙🏃‍♀️

The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also make staying heart healthy a little more challenging. Nurse Practitioner, Christina Lafoon, recently spoke with Tiffany Cripps at The Carolina Beat about simple, heart-healthy habits to keep in mind this holiday season.

Small choices can make a big impact. Choose lean meats like turkey, limit alcohol, cook with oils instead of butter, season foods with fresh herbs rather than salt, manage stress, and aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week.

Small, mindful choices can make a big difference for your heart. From all of us at Coastal Cardiovascular Associates, we wish you a healthy, happy, and safe holiday season. 💙
