Description
Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. Every year, more than 1 million United States citizens suffer a heart attack. Almost half a million of those people die. That's more than one thousand deaths a day. The number of people suffering from heart disease is higher than those with cancer or AIDS. And heart disease costs this population a lot of money, about 285 billion dollars in medical care and medication costs, as well as days lost from work. While some heart disease is congenital, most of it occurs in adulthood as the result of bad dietary and smoking habits, and also family history. Author John C. Gold tracks the story of one man with heart disease to explain the nature, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease, as well as some preventive measures people can take to try to avoid the illness, or at least lessen its damaging effects.
