Heart disease and stroke kill more than 2,200 people every day, and costs the nation $445 billion each year. But many of the people who are at high risk for heart attack or stroke don't know it.
There's good news though: most heart attacks and strokes can be prevented and doing so will help you feel better.
CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden will host a live Twitter chat on Tuesday, December 13th at 11:30AM ET to discuss the 4 things everyone should know to prevent heart attack and stroke. Experts from the Million Hearts Initiative, including Executive Director Dr. Janet Wright and Dr. Peter Briss, will join Dr. Frieden to talk about the ABCS of prevention, risk factors, the role of family history, and how the initiative will prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over the next 5 years.
