Heart Health

You might be surprised to learn how something as common as high blood pressure can lead to serious heart rhythm problems.

February is "American Heart Month" which allows us to focus on how we can improve our hearth health. I was joined by CentraCare Non Invasive Cardiologist Dr. Benjamin Johnson on WJON's Health Matters program. Dr. Johnson explained that heart attacks start out as cholesterol plaque building up in the wall of arteries.

Today on WJON's "Voices for Veterans" program I talked with Amber Willert (Women Veterans Program Manager), Kirsten Kahler (Registered Dietitian) and Barry Venable (Public Affairs Officer) from the St. Cloud V.A.
