Heart
disease is the #1 killer of
men and women!
- Heart disease kills more than twice
as many people as cancer.
- 70 million Americans suffer from some
degree of heart disease.
- Half of all men and one third of all
women will develop heart disease by the age of 45.
- 1,600,000 people suffer a heart attack
every year
- 500,000 will die, approximately one person
a minute!
- For 150,000 of these people, tragically
the first sign of heart disease will be their fatal heart
attack.
Could
you be at risk and not know it?
According to the American Heart Association,
millions of people are at risk of heart disease even though
they're active and may recently have had physical exams
or cholesterol tests that did not reveal any signs of heart
disease.

Fact
is, 20% of Americans with normal or low cholesterol will
develop heart disease. Even if your stress test was
"normal" you can still be at risk, because stress tests
cannot detect the early signs of coronary artery disease!
