As part of Men's Health Week, KNWA and Northwest Medical Center in Bentonville are raising awareness about cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Russell Davis is a surgeon at the hospital and performed a triple bypass on Burris Wilson three years ago. Wilson found out about the disease during a routine visit. He and Dr. Davis want men to know about preventative measures that can be taken like controlling your blood pressure, exercising, watching your diet and not smoking.
Knowing your family history is also important, and scheduling periodic check-ups.
