Dr. Dawn Hui with UT Health San Antonio joined Leading SA on Sunday to talk about the importance of heart health and what to watch out for.

and heart health is something families around the state and the country should take seriously.

I think most people recognize that, you know, these are well described as crushing or very severe chest pain. The left chest is a very clear warning sign and most people know that if that happens, you should call 911 and get to the hospital. But there are some more subtle signs, which actually I think are more common in the population nowadays. Another way that heart disease presents is that it’s people think it’s heartburn, but that doesn’t go away with heartburn medication.

Heart disease is a prevalent problem in and around San Antonio. Hui said it’s starting to become more common in the younger population.It’s unfortunately very common and it’s, we see it commonly in young people. And again, that’s because of a very high prevalence of diabetes in this area. There’s a very strong family history component that we see as well in this area,” Dr. Hui said.
