The essentials
Heart disease is the leading cause of death — and largely knowable in advance
With over 700,000 Americans affected by heart disease each year, it remains the leading cause of death in the US — yet a meaningful share of that risk is measurable and modifiable well before an event occurs.
Risk factors compound
Age, blood pressure, smoking, and family history don't just add up individually — they interact, which is why evidence-based risk models like Framingham matter more than looking at any single factor.
Women's symptoms are underrecognized
Women often experience heart attack symptoms differently than men, and this gap in recognition has real consequences for how quickly women seek care.
Prevention is highly actionable
Diet, exercise, and smoking cessation all have strong evidence behind them for meaningfully reducing cardiovascular risk over time.
