Ask the Doc: How Can I Reduce My Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke?

Updated on Jun 30, 2022 | Uncategorized

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer today, and the question is why?

The most important cause is heart attacks and strokes.

How can you avoid them? Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief of The Mount Sinai Hospital, offers some basic advice.

And here is the important message: If you follow his seven pieces of advice, the chances of your having a heart attack or a stroke in the next 10 years is less than four percent.

Dr. Fuster’s Seven Pieces of Advice:

1. Keep your weight normal. No obesity.

2. Keep your blood pressure normal.

3. Keep your cholesterol levels normal.

4. Avoid the onset of diabetes. One way is to control your weight.

5. Please quit smoking.

6. Do some exercise.

7. Be careful about what you eat. Avoid foods that are high in fat and salt.

Building our Physician Network by Dr. Jeremy Boal

Updated on Jun 30, 2022 | MSBI, Uncategorized

This week I was so happy to hear about some of our physicians gathering at a networking event for Mount Sinai Doctors Downtown. We have so many doctors who provide care at 14 locations throughout our Downtown network. Because they are spread out at different locations, they don’t always get to connect in person. I’m grateful to our Mount Sinai Doctors Downtown leaders for creating this opportunity. Likewise, we have an absolute army of exceptional voluntary physicians who are equally part of our family and community. I am grateful for each and every one.

We welcomed twenty brand new physicians to these practices this past year. You can see a list of them and their specialties here.

This connection among our physicians is vital in our transformation as we build a network of services that can fully support our community where they are, keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital. They provide compassionate, comprehensive care while staying at the top of their expertise and education. I’m so proud of all the work they do to engage their patients, often trying new ways to connect our patients and make their Mount Sinai journey seamless.
