Heart Disease: Screening, Prevention and Treatment

Heart disease—including valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease, which causes heart attacks—is the number one cause of death in the United States, and a leading cause of disability.

Over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease each year—nearly a quarter of all deaths, costing the U.S. economy over $200 billion each year. Fortunately, it is treatable and often preventable with the right testing and diagnosis.
