You Can Reduce Stress: Take Time for Your Heart | St. Elizabeth Healthcare

Dr. Dittoe, an Interventional Cardiologist at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, emphasizes the powerful connection between stress and heart health. While stress is a normal part of life, chronic stress can significantly impact your cardiovascular system. Identifying stressors and learning healthy ways to manage them is essential for protecting your heart and overall well-being.

Stress activates hormones that trigger a fight-or-flight response—helpful in emergencies but harmful when persistent. Chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, increased inflammation, irregular heart rhythms, and reduced blood flow to the heart. It’s also linked to weight gain and poor sleep, both of which further strain your heart.

Dr. Dittoe encourages patients to take breaks, practice self-care, and prioritize mental wellness. Reducing stress is a key step in lowering your risk of heart disease and improving your quality of life.
