Cardiac

According to the American Heart Association, an estimated one in three American adults have one or more types of cardiovascular disease.

• 15,500,000 people in the U.S. are affected by coronary heart disease
• 7,600,000 more experience Myocardial infarctions
• 5,700,000 people experience heart failure
