The technology these days for heart evaluations has significantly improved. Whether you have scans, monitors, stress tests etc, evaluating your heart health is an important component of maintaining your health. I recommend getting a baseline evaluation of your heart and circulatory system even if you are asymptomatic. Heart attacks are known as the “silent killers”. Your heart can take quite a lot of stress and damage before it starts to rebel in the form of heart attacks, A-fib, mitral valve prolapse, etc.

Aerobic exercise and resistance training is significant in improving blood flow from your heart to the rest of your body and healing to reduce blockages. These activities include walking, biking, running and swimming, weightlifting, etc. These help increase your heart rate which keeps your heart strong. Your heart is a muscle, so just as you strengthen your muscles with weight bearing activity, you must do the same with your heart to keep it strong. Often the upper/mid thoracic and upper cervical spine subluxations are common with heart dysfunction.
