Description:Every 40 seconds, an adult in the U.S. dies of a heart attack, stroke, or related disease. Heart disease and stroke are the nation’s first and fifth leading causes of death, respectively. Treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke, accounts for about $1 of every $7 spent on health care in the United States. The human and economic costs could be lower if our health care priority focused on preventing rather than treating CVD.
CDC’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention provides public health leadership, funding, and technical assistance for crucial efforts to prevent CVD and save lives. This work includes several programs that bring together state and local public health agencies, health systems and clinicians, and community organizations.
