It’s not really news that the leading cause of death among people in this country involves heart disease.
It’s reported that nearly a million people — actually about 935,000 Americans a year — suffer heart attacks.
No one is immune, of course. But some people obviously are more susceptible to heart problems.
Lifestyle factors can put someone at risk for heart disease. Those include stress-induced high blood pressure, smoking, obesity and lack of exercise.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease.
