❤️ "Heart disease runs in my family, so there's nothing I can do."
Have you ever thought that?
You're not alone—but it's one of the biggest myths in cardiology.
Many people believe a family history of heart disease means they're destined to have a heart attack. While genetics can increase your risk, they don't determine your future.
The choices you make every day matter.
Regular exercise. A heart-healthy diet. Managing your cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. These are powerful tools that can dramatically reduce your risk—even if heart disease runs in your family.
Your genes may load the gun, but your lifestyle often determines whether the trigger is pulled.
At Cross County Cardiology, we help patients take control of the risk factors they can change through personalized prevention, advanced screening, and evidence-based heart care.
❤️ Your family history is part of your story—not the ending.

❤️ The 5 numbers that could change your heart's future.
Most heart disease doesn't happen overnight—it develops quietly over time. The good news? Some of the biggest risk factors can be measured, monitored, and managed before they become serious problems.
Here are five numbers every adult should know:
🩺 Blood Pressure
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can quietly damage your heart, brain, and kidneys over time.
🩸 LDL Cholesterol
Often called "bad cholesterol," elevated LDL contributes to plaque buildup inside your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
🧪 A1C
Your A1C reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months and helps identify prediabetes or diabetes—both major risk factors for heart disease.
❤️ Resting Heart Rate
Your resting heart rate offers valuable insight into your cardiovascular fitness and overall heart health.
📏 Waist Circumference
Excess abdominal fat is linked to higher risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes—even if your weight appears normal.
Knowing these numbers isn't about perfection—it's about prevention.
At Cross County Cardiology, we believe the best heart care starts before symptoms appear. Regular screenings and personalized care can help identify risks early, so you can take action before problems develop.

❤️ Chest Pain Isn't Always a Heart Attack. But It's Never Worth Guessing.
Every year, thousands of people ignore chest pain because they assume it's "just heartburn," a pulled muscle, or stress.
Sometimes they're right.
Sometimes they're not.
Chest pain can have many causes, but it's also one of the most important warning signs of heart disease. Waiting to "see if it goes away" could delay treatment when every minute matters.
At Cross County Cardiology, we believe the best outcomes start with early evaluation—not assumptions.
Whether your symptoms are caused by your heart or something else, getting the right diagnosis gives you peace of mind and, when necessary, allows treatment to begin before a small problem becomes a life-changing one.
❤️ Listen to your body.
🩺 Trust the experts.
⏱️ Don't wait until it's an emergency.
If you're experiencing chest pain, pressure, discomfort, or unexplained shortness of breath, schedule an evaluation with one of our board-certified cardiologists.
📞 Call (551) 357-0021 today to schedule your appointment.
Your heart is too important to guess.
❤️ A stent can save your life—but it's only the beginning of the journey.
Many people think getting a heart stent "fixes" heart disease forever.
The truth is, a stent opens a blocked artery and restores blood flow almost immediately. Most patients feel better quickly and can safely return to many of the activities they enjoyed before.
But a stent doesn't cure the disease that caused the blockage.
Plaque buildup, high cholesterol, and inflammation still need to be managed to protect your heart long-term. That's why your recovery doesn't end when you leave the hospital—it starts there.
After receiving a stent, your cardiologist will typically recommend:
❤️ Cholesterol-lowering medication to help slow plaque buildup
💊 Aspirin to help reduce the risk of future blood clots
🩸 A second antiplatelet medication, such as Plavix or Brilinta, for at least one year to help prevent the stent from clotting
🥗 Heart-healthy lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and managing blood pressure and diabetes
At Cross County Cardiology, we don't just treat blocked arteries—we help you address the underlying causes of heart disease so you can enjoy a healthier future.
A stent opens the artery.
Your long-term care protects your life.

❤️ "I'm sitting here today because of Dr. Pumill. He saved my life."
Those aren't words you hear every day.
At 76 years old, Bob was doing everything right. He ran six miles a day, swam 20 laps, and had spent a lifetime as a teacher, principal, and superintendent. He felt healthy.
But heart disease doesn't always come with obvious warning signs.
Because Dr. Rick Pumill continued to monitor Bob with routine testing, he noticed that Bob's aortic valve was progressively narrowing. Before it became a life-threatening emergency, Bob was referred for advanced treatment and underwent a successful aortic valve replacement at Mount Sinai.
Bob was later told something he'll never forget:
"If I hadn't had the operation, I would have just dropped dead."
Today, Bob is living life with a new heart valve—and a new appreciation for the power of preventive cardiology.
His message is simple:
❤️ Don't wait until symptoms become an emergency.
🩺 Regular heart screenings can detect serious conditions before they become life-threatening.
🤝 The right cardiologist doesn't just treat heart disease—they help prevent it.
At Cross County Cardiology, we're honored to care for patients like Bob and to help our community live longer, healthier lives through early detection, personalized care, and advanced cardiovascular medicine.

Your heart deserves a proactive approach.

❤️ Your heart has a story to tell. A cardiac catheterization helps us see it clearly.
If you've been experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or abnormal heart test results, your cardiologist may recommend a 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻—one of the most effective tools for diagnosing and treating heart disease.
A cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, flexible catheter is guided through a blood vessel to your heart. This allows your cardiologist to evaluate your heart with exceptional precision.
It can help:
🫀 Detect blocked or narrowed coronary arteries
📊 Measure blood flow and pressure inside your heart
❤️ Evaluate how well your heart muscle and valves are functioning
🩺 Diagnose the cause of chest pain or other heart-related symptoms
⚠️ Determine whether additional treatments, such as angioplasty or stenting, may be needed
For many patients, a cardiac catheterization not only provides answers—it helps create a treatment plan that can prevent heart attacks, improve symptoms, and protect long-term heart health.
At Cross County Cardiology, we combine advanced technology with personalized care to ensure every patient receives the right diagnosis and the right treatment at the right time.
Don't ignore symptoms that could be your heart asking for help.

❤️ Heart failure doesn't mean your heart has stopped—it means your heart isn't pumping as efficiently as it should.
Hearing the words "heart failure" can feel overwhelming, but with early diagnosis, the right treatment, and ongoing care, many people continue to live active, fulfilling lives.
Heart failure develops when the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Common symptoms include:
💨 Shortness of breath during activity or while lying down
🦵 Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
😴 Unusual fatigue or weakness
⚖️ Sudden weight gain from fluid retention
❤️ A rapid or irregular heartbeat
The good news is that heart failure is treatable.
At Cross County Cardiology, we create personalized treatment plans designed to help improve your heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life. Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
🩺 Advanced diagnostic testing
💊 Guideline-directed medications
🥗 Lifestyle and nutrition counseling
🏃 Personalized exercise recommendations
📈 Ongoing monitoring and long-term management
The earlier heart failure is identified, the more options are available to help slow its progression and keep you feeling your best.
If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of heart failure, don't wait to seek care.

⚠️ Heart Attack vs. Sudden Cardiac Death: They're NOT the Same Thing
Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they describe two very different medical emergencies. Understanding the difference could help save a life.
Think of your heart as having three important systems:
❤️ Pumping System
🩺 Plumbing System
⚡ Electrical System
A heart attack is a plumbing problem. It happens when a coronary artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and causing damage.
Sudden cardiac death is primarily an electrical problem. The heart's electrical system suddenly malfunctions, causing the heart to stop beating effectively and leading to collapse.
While these are different conditions, they can sometimes be connected. A severe heart attack can trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac death.
At Cross County Cardiology, patient education is one of the most powerful tools we have. Understanding how your heart works—and recognizing the warning signs of heart disease—can make all the difference.
If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease, or unexplained chest pain, don't wait to get evaluated.
