Heart Disease and Stroke

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world. By 2030, more than 25 million people will die annually from cardiovascular diseases, according the World Health Organization. But research and treatment have come a long way in the last ten years. The American Heart Association reports that since 2000, the United States has reduced deaths due to heart disease by more than 27% and deaths due to stroke by more than 40%.
