February is American Heart Month, a time when all people are encouraged to focus on their cardiovascular health. According to the CDC, heart disease is very common. In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups. In 2022, 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States was caused by heart disease. High blood pressure is the leading cause of heart disease. Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, which puts them at risk for heart disease and stroke. And just 1 in 4 people with high blood pressure has it under control. Live to the Beat is a campaign that aims to help adults take steps to prevent heart disease and stroke. Comments are closed.
