Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States – more than cancer, accidents, and communicable diseases.

Each year, nearly one in four deaths is caused by heart disease, but luckily, this is something we can all work together to change.

Many of these risk factors can be modified or eliminated by choosing to lead a healthy lifestyle.
