My New Orleans
February is American Heart Month, a designation it was given in 1964 in an effort to tackle heart disease across the country. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, deaths from heart disease are declining, but unfortunately, the country faces a steady death rate from heart attack and stroke. This month, take note of the steps you can take to reduce your risks for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Some steps include eating a heart-healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and quitting smoking. Talk with your primary care physician about your cholesterol and blood pressure and what tests, screenings, or medications may benefit you as you seek to lower your risks. When a heart specialist is needed, New Orleans is fortunate to have a number of accomplished cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and other specialized professionals who can help.

TUPELO ⢠North Mississippi Medical Center has made the 2021 Fortune/IBM Watson Health 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals list, naming the top-performing U.S. hospitals for inpatient cardiovascular services.
This yearâs study included 980 U.S. hospitals with cardiovascular services. Based on comparisons between the study winners and a peer group of similar hospitals in the study, the winners delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently and at a lower cost.
Extrapolating the results of this yearâs study, if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those treated in the award-winning facilities more than 7,000 additional lives and over $1.6 billion could be saved annually, and more than 5,000 additional bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free.
