Midlands Cares: Heart Health and protecting our most important organ

Tyler Ryan learns about the importance of protecting your heart from MUSC Dr. Katrina Bidwell

February is Heart Month, and although these 28 days are specifically set aside to awareness and education, protecting the blood pumper should be top of mind all year.  There is an easy case to be made that the heart is probably our most vital piece of hardware.  In fact, MUSC Heart and Vascular Cardiologist Doctor Katrina Bidwell says “the heart works for you 24 hours a day, and it only rests between beats, pumping blood and oxygen to the rest of your body.”
