Samenvatting
Today, Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of mortality in the US, responsible for ~1 in 5 deaths and projected to exceed $1.1 trillion in annual direct health care cost and lost productivity by 2035. By identifying risk factors and taking action early, we could prevent 80% of heart attacks, strokes, and early deaths from cardiovascular disease. Yet, a system built to treat sickness instead of preventing it has kept us from making progress.
This is why we, as a long-time leader in cardiovascular health, have made a commitment to change this. We want to ignite a revolution in US healthcare – a movement that will make prevention of cardiovascular disease the new gold standard. What if the last person to die of heart disease has already been born? We believe it is in our power to make this happen.
