🌟 July is National Hemochromatosis Awareness Month! 🌟
Did you know that hemochromatosis, a condition causing the body to absorb too much iron, can significantly affect your heart health? 🫀 When iron builds up in the heart, it can lead to severe complications, including:
🔴 Cardiomyopathy: The heart muscle can weaken, leading to heart failure.
🔴 Arrhythmias: Excess iron can disrupt the heart's electrical system, causing irregular heartbeats.
🔴 Heart Enlargement: The heart can become enlarged and less efficient at pumping blood.
Early detection and treatment are vital to managing these risks. If you or a loved one have a family history of hemochromatosis or symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or irregular heartbeats, speak with a healthcare provider today.
At Clearwater Cardiovascular Consultants, we're dedicated to your heart health. Let’s raise awareness and take action against hemochromatosis together!
