Why: ♥ Cardiovascular disease has been and remains America’s number one killer since 1919. In 2006, about 1.2 million Americans will have a first or recurrent coronary attack. About 515,000 of these people will die…250,000 of them before they ever reach a hospital.
♥ About 700,000 Americans each year suffer a new or recurrent stroke. That means, on average, a stroke occurs every 45 seconds.
♥ Stroke kills more than 150,000 people a year. That's about 1 of every 16 deaths. It's the No. 3 cause of death behind diseases of the heart and cancer.
♥ Every 33 seconds someone dies from heart disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims more lives each year than the next five leading causes of death combined.
♥ The cost of cardiovascular diseases and stroke in the US is estimated at nearly $403.1 billion annually.
