Public Health Advisory

Heart disease continues to be the number one killer of adult Americans each year.

Heart disease is many times referred to as the "silent killer" because thousands of people die each year of a heart attack even though they never had any signs or symptoms. So, just because you feel fine, doesn't mean you are fine.

• Almost 1 out of every 2.4 deaths are from cardiovascular disease
• More than 2600 deaths occur each day from cardiovascular disease, 1 death every 33 seconds.
• Cardiovascular disease is the cause of more deaths than the next 7 causes of death combined.
• Heart disease is an equal opportunity killer; affecting both sexes, every race, and all ages

A cardiac evaluation and appropriate cardiac testing can estimate your risk of heart disease even if you have no signs or symptoms.
