If you have a heart, this video is for you.
Martin Memorial recently created an informational video designed to provide education not only about how your heart functions, but also offers tips on how to keep it beating for years to come.
The video, called “A Heartbeat Away,” is available on YouTube at youtube.com/user/MartinMemorial or by visiting our Web site at mmhs.com.
Information on the video includes facts about the actual anatomy of the heart, statistics outlining the extent of heart disease in the United States, as well as suggestions on how to prevent the disease.
For example, did you know that your heart is the strongest muscle in your body? That it completely circulates your blood every 20 seconds? That your circulatory system is 62,000 miles long?
Heart disease affects thousands of Martin and St. Lucie county residents each year. Since the Frances Langford Heart Center opened in August 2006, more than 750 open-heart surgeries and 6,100 cardiac catheterizations have been performed.
“We wanted to provide our community with an informative and entertaining message about the heart and the importance of taking care of it,” said Janice Meadows, assistant vice president for the Martin Memorial Frances Langford Heart Center. “Our hope is that people will watch this video and share the valuable information with their families and friends so that we can help reduce their risk of heart disease.”
