Cardiovascular Health by the Numbers
Heart disease remains the #1 cause of death in the U.S., accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths.
Up to 80% of cardiovascular disease is preventable through lifestyle changes, early screening, and timely medical intervention.
Only 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure has their condition fully under control—making early intervention critical.
More than 18 million Americans have coronary artery disease, yet many remain undiagnosed until a cardiac event occurs.
Popular Conditions and Treatments
Heart disease is the number one killer of all women everywhere. Unfortunately, our stories are not as unique as we wish they were.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Cardiology is the medical specialty that focuses on the structure and function of the heart.
Cardiologists help prevent, diagnose and treat heart and vascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, heart rhythm disorders and aneurysms.
Cardiologists are internal medicine physicians who complete additional fellowship training in cardiology, and many subspecialize in areas such as interventional cardiology or electrophysiology.
-
Many factors can increase your risk of heart disease, including:
- Advancing age
- Diabetes
- Excessive alcohol
- Family history
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Lack of physical activity
- Obesity
- Smoking
-
Heart disease and cardiovascular disease are related, but not identical.
Cardiovascular disease includes conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels. Heart disease describes conditions that affect the heart’s structure or how it works. All heart disease is cardiovascular disease, but not all cardiovascular disease is heart disease.
-
Coronary artery disease, also known as coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease, is the most common heart problem in the United States.
It occurs when plaque — a collection of fats, cholesterol and other substances — builds up inside the walls of arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, plaque can narrow the arteries and reduce or block blood flow.
-
Consider seeing a cardiologist if you have a strong family history or risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. You should also schedule an appointment if you have symptoms such as:
- Feeling faint or dizzy
- Having shortness of breath
- Ongoing chest discomfort
- A racing or fluttering heartbeat (palpitations)
- Swelling in your legs
