About American Heart Month

Every year since 1964, U.S. presidents have declared February American Heart Month to bring awareness to cardiovascular disease which kills an estimated 630,000 Americans each year. It's the leading cause of death for both men and women. Through lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication, risk of heart disease can be dramatically reduced.
