Heart Disease Prevention
Heart disease is the leading cause of the death in the United States. It is also a major cause of disability. There are many things that can raise your risk for heart disease. They are called risk factors.
Some risk factors you cannot control, such as age, race or ethnicity, sex and family history, but many others, such as alcohol, smoking and stress, can be controlled.
