Pardon my morbid overtone, but I wanted to post these facts because it is a condition that runs in my family (most recently my mother back in 2000) and its had me make some changes in my life in order to beat the odds.

Nearly 2,400 Americans die of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) each day—an average of 1 death every 37 seconds.

The 2005 overall preliminary death rate from CVD was 279.2. More than 148,000 Americans killed by CVD in 2004 were <65 years of age.

In 2004, 32% of deaths from CVD occurred before the age of 75 years, which is well before the average life expectancy of 77.9 years.

Coronary heart disease caused 1 of every 5 deaths in the United States in 2004. Coronary heart disease mortality was 451,326.

In 2008, an estimated 770,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack, and about 430,000 will have a recurrent attack. It is estimated that an additional 175,000 silent first myocardial infarctions occur each year.

About every 26 seconds, an American will have a coronary event, and about every minute someone will die from one.

Take care of yourselves.
