"Dear Ask Alison, 
I am a 45 year old man in good health. I have a history of heart disease in my family, but I try to stay active and get regular check-ups and screenings. I'm having trouble convincing my wife that she should do the same! Any ideas?
~ Steve R. - Dardenne Prairie 
Thanks for your question Steve. To learn more, I visited Dr. Michael Missler, Interventional Cardiologist at BJC Medical Group to talk about Women's Heart Health.
Click here to view the Heart Health Brochure provided by BJC St. Charles County. You can also learn more at the BJC St. Charles County Heart Team website or call 636-928- WELL (9355) for more information.

Thank you Dr. Missler for your recommendations:​
  • Exercise: Check the Library's calendar for lots of free fitness classes this summer!
  • Quit smoking: Barnes-Jewish St. Peters and Progress West Hospitals offer FREE smoking cessation classes.  Call 636-928-WELL to register.   
  • Monitor Blood pressure: Visit one of the BJC Healthy Heart kiosks. There's one at the Middendorf-Kredell Branch Library as well as one on the first floor of Mid Rivers Mall!  Then follow up with your doctor. ​
