Coronary Heart Disease

It starts with blocked arteries

When your arteries clog up, the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart is restricted. Blocked arteries are the number one cause of coronary heart disease, and can lead to a heart attack.

Nearly 1 million Americans will have heart attacks

Each year, an estimated 1 million Americans have heart attacks. And for nearly half of these people, the attacks will be fatal. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Over 13 million Americans have heart disease

For many of these people, suffering from heart disease can mean a restricted life. Chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and sweating and fatigue can cause people to do less of the activities they love.
