HEART HEALTH FACT #7

About 1 in every 6 U.S. healthcare dollars is spent on cardiovascular disease each year.  It's the most costly condition in America.  When you factor in lost productivity, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates heart disease and stroke costs our country more than $320 billion a year.  [Centers for Disease control and Prevention]

HEART HEALTH FACT #4

A woman's heart typically beats faster than a man's.  On average, a woman's heart beats 78 times per minute while the average man's beats 70 times.  [Chilnick, Lawrence. 2008. Heart Disease:  An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. Philadelphia, PA: Perseus Books Group.]

Each year 735,000 Americans have a heart attack.  Knowing the warning signs increase your chances of survival.

Sadly, only 27% of people can identify all the major symptoms of a heart attack and know to call 911 immediately when they occur.  Immediate action saves lives!  According to the CDC, the major signs of a heart attack are:

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper stomach
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea, lightheadedness, or cold sweats
