1:39:16Now PlayingHeart disease is the leading cause of death for Americans, claiming more lives than all types of cancer combined. Key risk factors for heart disease, especially LDL-C, or “bad” cholesterol, and elevated Lp(a) levels, are often sidelined or ignored. Even younger Americans are increasingly affected by cardiovascular disease: A new study from the American Heart Association revealed that over the past decade, deaths from severe first heart attacks among adults under 54 have risen by more than 50%.
But policymakers and advocates have a chance to stem the tide. With improved health guidelines, greater awareness and implementation of patient-centered care, and ensuring new, genetically-targeted technologies can come to market, the U.S. can tackle the cardiovascular crisis.
Join The Hill and The Partnership to Advance Cardiovascular Health (PACH) for a policy summit with cardiologists, patients, heart advocates, and lawmakers to discuss how coordinated advocacy efforts can catch heart disease early and more often, and stave off more of these preventable deaths.
