Every day, more than 2,600 people die from cardiovascular disease. In fact, cardiovascular disease – principally heart disease and stroke – is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women in all racial and ethnic groups.
Cardiovascular disease has no respect for age, either. It’s the leading cause of death for all Americans age 35 and older. Yet the staggering cardiovascular death rate is only part of the toll this disease takes. Heart disease and stroke account for nearly 6 million hospital admissions annually and cause disability for roughly 10 million Americans.
