“When we think of the month of February, we normally envision hearts – romantic, platonic, familial – of the Cupid variety that surround Saint Valentine’s Day. Another focal point this February (and every year) is American Heart Month, which spotlights the major impact that cardiovascular health has on Americans’ lives. American Heart Month is designated to raise awareness about heart conditions and urge Americans to lower their risk for developing heart disease.  Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease.  Heart attacks are a major category of heart disease – someone in the United States has a heart attack every 40 seconds.”
