About Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke Risk  
     
  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the number one cause of deaths in the U.S. is cardiovascular disease.
   
 
  • More then 500,000 women die in the U.S. each year of cardiovascular disease, making it, not breast cancer, (40,000 deaths annually), their No.1 killer.

  • The third most common cause of death in the U.S. is cerebrovascular disease, more commonly referred to as Stroke and Transient Ischemic Accident (TIA).

  • In up to 40% of heart attack patients, traditional risk factors like elevated cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes are absent.

  • Despite decades of public education and intervention, one half of Americans can expect to suffer and even die from one or another cardiovascular disease.

  • One in four Americans who suffer a heart attack will die from their first incident which is frequently their first and only indication of ill health.
   
  Our mission in bringing HeartSmartIMTplus™ to the clinical diagnostic market is to reverse these devastating trends.
