Heart Disease Knowledge Center

Championship Hearts Foundation provides cardiac information as a service to Central Texans. From free student heart screenings to AED demonstrations, Championship Hearts Foundation has taken an active role in the Central Texas community in order to give cardiac information and help prevent deaths from cardiovascular disease. Cardiac information can be found a variety of different ways, from websites to local events such as CPR, AED and First Aid training courses and demonstrations.

Cardiac Information: Heart Health

Your heart health is key to preventing heart disease. Making fitness a part of your life can have a tremendous effect on your heart health, and it's estimated that just 22% of Americans engage in enough activity for health maintenance purposes. Adding to that is the statistic that up to 12% of all deaths can be attributed to inactivity. When a person is physically inactive, the risk of heart disease increases by about 1.5 to 2.4 times — it is a major independent coronary risk factor. Exercise not only reduces the risk of heart disease, it improves survival from a heart attack. Other benefits of exercise include improved immune function, improved stability of heart rhythms, better muscle tone and posture and increased stamina and energy.
