Heart Institute at St. Joseph Hospital

Getting to the Heart of the Matter

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for American men and women. In fact, approximately 1 million lives are claimed as a result of cardiac disease. In most of these cases, heart disease, such as arrhythmia, stroke, coronary heart disease, heart attack, and heart failure, could have been entirely preventable.

According to the Heart Foundation:

• Someone in the United States dies from cardiovascular disease every 33 seconds
• More people die of heart-related illness more than AIDS and cancer combined
• An estimated 80 million Americans have one or more types of heart disease
• The total cost of heart disease in the U.S. is an estimated $448.5 billion

As evidenced by the above mentioned statistics, cardiovascular disease is a very real problem in the United States. This is why it will be crucial to seek out a team of medical experts to ensure that you are receiving the best possible health and heart care.
