Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. Every year, more than 1 million United States citizens suffer a heart attack. Almost half a million of those people die. That's more than one thousand deaths a day. The number of people suffering from heart disease is higher than those with cancer or AIDS. And heart disease costs this population a lot of money, about 285 billion dollars in medical care and medication costs, as well as days lost from work.
