American Heart Month: Fast Facts about Your Heart and Cardiac Disease.. SSDHelpNow.com

American Heart Month:
Nine Heart Health Facts You Can’t Ignore.

It’s February, the month dedicated to matters of the heart.

Sure, Valentine’s Day is on February 14. But did you know that it is also American Heart Month?

American Heart Month is a federally recognized event designed to raise awareness about heart health. Across the country, activities are being held to bring attention to heart disease, including prevention, detection and treatment.

Unfortunately, cardiac disease remains the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States. It is also one of the leading causes of Disability, preventing individuals from working and supporting their families.

Here are nine interesting facts about the hardest working muscle in the body and some staggering statistics about heart disease.

Research shows that people are more likely to have a heart attack on a Monday.

About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year ― that is one in every four deaths.

Someone in the U.S. dies of heart disease every 85 seconds.

Cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, including heart disease, heart attack, stroke and hypertension, were among the four most common causes of long-term Disability claims in 2013.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. More than 67 million Americans have high blood pressure.

Cardiovascular diseases claim more lives than all forms of cancer combined.

Heart disease and stroke cost America nearly $1 billion a day in medical costs and lost productivity.

The average heart beats 100,000 times a day – that’s 2.6 billion heartbeats in a 70-year lifetime.

Heart disease has been around since ancient times; it has been found in 3,000-year-old mummies.
