Heart attack is perhaps one of the most feared diseases in America.

Heart attacks are life-threatening conditions that can cause death if not treated quickly. Although, they can be prevented by lifestyle changes.

Heart attacks occur when an artery supplying blood to the heart becomes blocked, preventing oxygen from reaching its muscle tissue. This can result in chest pain or discomfort and shortness of breath. If left untreated for too long, a heart attack can cause death within minutes or hours due to permanent damage done to the organ itself.

The American Heart Association estimates that more than 720,000 Americans experience a heart attack each year.

You may be surprised to learn that the American Heart Association estimates that more than 720,000 Americans experience a heart attack each year. That’s one every 40 seconds.

The number of people who experience more than one heart attack is also substantial. One in three people will have a second or third event within 10 years of their first attack.

And while survival rates have increased over time (from 65% in 1999 to 74% today). It’s still important for patients to be prepared for potential complications and hospitalization costs should they need emergency treatment again in the future.

Stroke is a disease that happens when part of your brain does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, causing brain cells to die.

According to the American Heart Association, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of disability. It's also one of the most costly diseases, with an estimated cost of $34 billion annually.

Stroke happens when part of your brain does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, causing brain cells to die. When this happens, you can lose function on one side of your body or have speech problems that affect how you communicate with others.

Strokes can be deadly or leave lasting effects on someone's ability to do everyday tasks. Those who survive strokes often need long-term care services such as physical therapy and medical equipment so they can continue living independently.
